Turkey and Istanbul in the age of Erdogan
For millenia, Turkiye’s former capital of Istanbul has been at the centre of world affairs thanks to its geography straddling the Bosphorus, the natural canal that forms the border between Europe and Asia. President Erdogan is keen to see the country reclaim some of its former power and importance, and get rich in the process, as his reign becomes more and more autocratic. Suzy Hansen chronicles the age of authoritarianism in Turkiye through an intimate portrait of its people, how Istanbul handled hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees, and how its streets now teem with nationalistic fervour, political repression and rampant corruption. Guest: Suzy Hansen, journalist and author of From Life Itself: Turkey and Istanbul in the Age of Erdogan, published by Allen and Unwin Producer: Catherine Zengerer

The birth and death of USAID
On his first day in office in 2025 US President Donald Trump announced a freeze on foreign aid. Billions of dollars in humanitarian assistance stopped flowing to other countries and thousands of aid workers were laid off. The U.S.A.I.D program was established by President John F Kennedy in 1961, at the peak of cold war tensions, but researcher Luke Fletcher says its roots date back to WWII, and a desire by the US to greatly expand its economic and military power. So what is the US losing by shutting it down? And who is filling the void?Guest: Luke Fletcher, Executive Director, Jubilee Australia Research Centre and author of America and the Birth of Global Aid, published by RoutledgeProducer: Catherine Zengerer

The blank spaces, the imaginary islands, the borders and flags all tell us something about what people knew, and what they thought they knew.Guest: Nikolaus Schobesberger, Director at the Globe Museum of the Austrian National Library, Vienna Producer: Ali Benton
