We're with the Lebanese Politics Podcast for Episode 193 of The Beirut Banyan.
We discuss life today in Beirut; the benefits of getting the wider story across through long-form narrative and podcasting; various reflections on the initial days of the October Uprising and developments today; ultimate stumbling blocks that diminished earlier protest movements and curtailed previous attempts at reform following the end of the civil war; the state of freedom of expression today in Lebanon; and a shared appreciation for the podcasting medium and storytelling in all formats.
The Lebanese Politics Podcast team includes Benjamin Redd, Nizar Hassan and Susan Wilson.
