“I listen to other podcasts by Robert Evans and only recently found this. This is an inspiring, subtle, and intelligent glimpse into a community and culture that is not readily found in US media. I’m a news nerd - I read a lot of newspapers and listen to a lot of deep dive podcasts and haven’t...”Read full review »

“This show really really touched my soul. It’s made me question the world that we live in and want to help woman that are the victims of hate and misogyny. I think that given the current situation with Andrew Tate and his influence on young men in the UK, we need to have a think about the...”Read full review »

“It is bizarre to assert black women have been oppressed “from start of time’ black people have been oppressed since coming into contact with the barbarism of Europeans not since the start of time,”

“Love this podcast and most of Roberts work, although having an advert for Love Island UK come up at the end of each episode is a fitting mirror to The Rojavans (sp?) having to sell oil to maintain the revolution. Enriched the experience while still enraging me. So sad to know that only months...”Read full review »

“In one day. I’m pretty sure I need to listen again. This is an inspirational story. It’s helped my overwhelmed apathy, with interviews of people working together for self determination.”

“This was an amazing listen, on par with It Could Happen Here. Audio is a little hard to hear, especially when on a walk, but I’ll definitely be listening to this a second time once I’m done (I’m on the last episode). Terrific journalism.”

“This show felt like a Rojava For Dummies, but not in the good, or accessible way. It was centered heavily on the reporter, who instead of using the platform to educate, takes us on his path from ignorance to sort-of-knowing. This adds the the general sense of exoticism that Americans have about...”Read full review »

“Absolutely amazing series. I ended wishing for so much more. Evans does an amazing job telling the stories of his time in Rojava. It is harrowing at moments, inspiring in others, and is occasionally lighthearted and funny. I highly recommend it. It is a must listen. He approaches his journalism...”Read full review »

“This is some amazing journalism by one of the two best journalists currently working. Jake and Robert nail it and do provide an interesting perspective of just a small part of the current conflict in the Middle East.
Great theme tune which will stay with you also”

“An interesting depiction of an underreported part of the Syrian conflict. It’s hard to hear a man be so proud and awed of women. It would have been more powerful to hear from a female cohost/journalist. Could do less of Roberts updates about his need to pee and alcohol consumption.”

What these women are working towards is incredible considering where they live in the world. I would love to lend a hand in Rojava. Thank you for telling this story.”

““IEDs and suicide vests littering the ground like stray condoms on a San Francisco street.” Robert’s scripting is as strong as any of his shows, and his passion for conveying honestly what he learns is obvious. Not one of his lighthearted shows, and yet probably his best yet. The on the ground...”Read full review »
