113: An Audio Diary from Gaza

November 12, 2023 18:28 - 46 minutes - 37.5 MB

We have been wanting to bring you voices from inside Gaza since the very start of the current atrocities, but for what are obvious reasons this has proven to be extremely difficult, especially after Israel cut all communication lines and mobile phone networks in Gaza, in the prelude to their ground invasion. However, a student from our Palestine Podcast Academy, Shahd Safi, has managed to send me a series of daily audio diary entries detailing her experiences and her feelings in recent days....

112: Colonialism in Global Public Health

August 28, 2023 22:26 - 1 hour - 49 MB

Why don’t we see more African researchers presenting at global Public Health conferences and in US and European research journals? Who determines which public health issues are prioritized in Africa? What is Public Health and “Vaccine Apartheid”? What do these insights reveal about the current state of our Public Health discourse on the global scale?  It’s impossible to isolate the conversation around public health in the Global South from the topic of colonialism and anti-Blackness more g...

111: Death and Corruption in the Shadows - The Global Arms Trade

July 30, 2023 22:53 - 1 hour - 71.5 MB

While the global arms industry may only account for about one percent of global trade, it’s important to note what that one percent actually buys. Beyond the price tags on the weapons themselves, arms and arms sales have a tremendous impact on all other aspects of global trade, and on relations between trade partners and competitors. This week's episode is a collaboration between journalist Paul Cochrane and Latitude Adjustment Podcast. Our guest, Andrew Feinstein, is the author of the b...

110: Solidarity Rising for Western Sahara

July 20, 2023 19:33 - 1 hour - 64 MB

In 1975 Spain formally ended its colonization of "Spanish Sahara", but instead of ceding control to the indigenous Sahrawi population Spain instead handed the keys to its former colony to the Moroccan regime. For nearly 50 years the Sahrawi people of illegally occupied Western Sahara have been subjected to a brutal regime of settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, resource-theft, and the violent suppression of all dissent including the systematic use of rape and torture by the Moroccan author...

Africa's Last Colony - Understanding Western Sahara

July 20, 2023 02:56 - 15 minutes - 12.6 MB

Where is Western Sahara? What is Western Sahara? Is it a country? Who lives there? If you find yourself unable to answer any of these questions, or if you want a resource that will help you to quickly explain the history and the current political realities around Africa's last colony to your friends and to your community, this short episode was created for you.  Latitude Adjustment Podcast is also working on plans to complete a multimedia documentary series, working on the ground with Sah...

109: The American Roots of African Homophobia

June 27, 2023 19:48 - 1 hour - 65.5 MB

What we are seeing now in the US, with the rollback of so many progressive victories, and with the passage of bigoted legislation towards sexual minorities, is in many ways the final stage of a decades-long strategy by violent strains of American Christian Evangelism. That strategy has seen Africa used as a testing ground in an ideological war against sexual minorities. And that war has returned home with a vengeance; newly emboldened, with more support, and with a more focused strategic vis...

108: Assad's "Human Slaughterhouse" - Surviving Sednaya

June 13, 2023 22:06 - 1 hour - 52.4 MB

Omar Alshogre is currently 28 years old. He was first arrested at 15 for attending a protest against the Al Assad regime, and was arrested a total of 11 times between 2011 and 2013. His last arrest, in 2012, along with the arrests of two of his cousins, led to his incarceration in the Branch 215 military intelligence detention center for 21 months, where he experienced torture on a daily basis. In 2014 he was transferred to Sednaya prison, where he experienced even more brutal forms of tortu...

107: Understanding the War in Sudan

June 05, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 59.4 MB

On April 15th war broke out in Sudan. The fighting between the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group and the Sudanese army has devastated Khartoum, spread across the country, and an estimated 1,800 people have lost their lives, with hundreds of thousands displaced. Dalia AbdelMoniem joins us from the UK, where she has been living since fleeing the war in April, after a missile struck her home. Dalia is a former journalist who moved back to Sudan in 2013 after living in Egypt for more th...

106: From Kabul to Canada (2 of 2)

May 30, 2023 21:23 - 1 hour - 61.2 MB

This is the second of a two-part series about Basir Bita’s escape from Afghanistan after the US withdrawal in August, 2021. In this second half of his story, Basir shares his experiences getting from Pakistan to Canada, the challenges of adjusting to a new culture, the double-standards in Western moralizing, and navigating the prejudices and stereotypes that refugees often face. Be sure to listen to part one, about the fall of Kabul and about his family’s escape from Afghanistan after the US...

105: Abandoned in Afghanistan (1 of 2)

May 24, 2023 00:47 - 1 hour - 72.2 MB

On August 30th 2021, the US and its coalition partners ended their nearly twenty-year occupation of Afghanistan. Two weeks before they left, the Taliban swept across the country taking major urban centers, including Kabul. As embassies were abandoned, and as Afghans government officials fled the country, those Afghan citizens who had worked with the occupying forces faced the very real prospect of execution by the Taliban as collaborators. Yet, just Afghan interpreters had been abandoned in ...

104: Iran-Saudi Detente & Iran Protests

April 12, 2023 00:17 - 1 hour - 64.2 MB

On September 13th of last year 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was visiting Tehran with her family, having traveled from Irans’ Kurdish region. While in Tehran she was stopped by Iran’s morality police for improperly wearing her hijab, or head covering. Three days after her arrest she was dead. In the days, weeks, and months following her death Iran has seen nationwide protests, and while protests are not a particularly new thing in Iran, what’s unprecedented about these protests are the calls not s...

103: Christian Zionism - An Unholy Faith

February 22, 2023 03:18 - 1 hour - 85.7 MB

While there have been different strains of Christian Zionism dating back to the Sixteenth Century, the most politicized, powerful, and violent iteration of the movement has its roots in the contemporary Christian Evangelical Church. Modern Christian Zionists hold that the ethnic cleansing of roughly 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in historic Palestine in 1948, by Jewish Zionists, was the fulfillment of a Biblical prophecy in which the so-called Holy Land must be resettled by the Jew...

102: The Military Industrial Complex

November 24, 2022 01:15 - 1 hour - 55.3 MB

The US military industrial complex describes the relationship between the US armed forces, weapons and military systems corporations and, though they are often omitted from the phrasing, the Legislative and Executive branches of the US government.  This episode is dedicated to examining the interests at play in maintaining the US military budget as an unquestionable and sacred burden on the US taxpayer and its impact on democracy, even when our national infrastructure is in tatters, educat...

100: Andrius Again!

November 10, 2022 19:59 - 1 hour - 51.4 MB

It's episode 100 of Latitude Adjustment Podcast, and what better way to celebrate the occasion than to bring back our guest from Episode 1?

99: The Iran Protests in Context

October 26, 2022 22:59 - 1 hour - 60.6 MB

On September 13th, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was visiting Tehran with her family, having traveled from Irans’ Kurdish region. While in Tehran she was stopped by Iran’s morality police for improperly wearing her hijab, or head covering. Three days after her arrest she was dead. In the days and weeks following her death Iran has seen nationwide protests, and while protests are not a particularly new thing in Iran, what’s unprecedented about these protests are the calls not simply for reforms but...

97: The Russian Presence in Africa

September 27, 2022 23:21 - 58 minutes - 46.6 MB

Russia’s relationship with the African continent dates back to the Soviet era and Cold War proxy battles between Russia and the US. These days the Russian presence in Africa might be lighter, but it’s also growing and the dynamics are changing. From the deployment of Russian mercenaries like the Wagner Group, to the politics of soft power and investment, we focus on Russia’s past and present relationship with Africa, the likely impacts of the war in Ukraine on food security in Africa, as wel...

96: Forgetting Gaza

August 19, 2022 22:50 - 41 minutes - 33.4 MB

The recent Israeli assault on Gaza lasted three days, from August 5 through August 7th. Before a ceasefire was concluded on the 7th of August, 49 Palestinians lay dead, including 17 children, with more than 360 injured. Israeli occupation raids in the West Bank, in particular in Jenin, coincided with the attacks. And now, in all too predictable pattern, we see that the Western media has once again failed to ask difficult questions in the aftermath of the attacks, and instead resuming its ...

Revisited: Human Trafficking in the US

July 14, 2022 02:47 - 2 hours - 103 MB

Rosine Hounakey is from Togo but she was trafficked to the US at 13 years old. Forced to work for free on both coasts of the US, she was later coerced into an abusive marriage until she was freed with her two young sons as the result of an ICE raid when she was just 17 years old. She then had to go through foster care in various American cities, waking up at 5am every day to take her kids to school before completing high school herself, after years with no formal education, having taught h...

95: Who is Santa Muerte?

June 28, 2022 23:44 - 1 hour - 50.4 MB

Santa Muerte (or “Saint Death”) is far more than a popular saint, she’s a framework for understanding Mexican history, Mexican politics (in particular the legacies of corruption, and the marginalization of women, the poor, the incarcerated, and those living on the fringes of “legitimate” society), and finally Santa Muerte is an entry point for examining the ongoing power and influence of Catholicism in Mexico, and its relationship to the Mexican state and to indigenous communities. We spe...

Revisited: The Global Arms Trade

June 14, 2022 19:19 - 1 hour - 62.4 MB

The global arms industry may only account for about one percent of global trade, but it’s important to note what that one percent is buying and the role that arms sales play in influencing other aspects of global trade and political relations. We speak with Frank Slijper in Groningen, The Netherlands, where Frank leads a project on the global arms trade for Pax, a global peace research and advocacy organization. Here are Frank’s Pax reports on the arms trade in Turkey and the UAE. This...
