Hello Everyone!
Today we have talked about neoliberalism with our special guest, Henry.
Neoliberalism has been in place since the 1930's, but its advocates such as Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan resurrected this policy, such that it influences national policies till date. This week we discuss age old neoliberalism and observe the impacts it has had politically, socially and most important, legally. Tune in now!

Law v BLM
Hello to Our Beloved Listeners!
Our podcast this week highlights an issue that has been plaguing the world for centuries now, racial discrimination. On 25th May 2020, the murder of George Floyd reignited the Black Lives Matter movement which resulted in global protests demanding racial equality for the black communities of the world, and in turn abolishing white supremacy. In this episode we attempt to understand more deeply about this movement in areas of employment, education and the political sphere with our guest speaker Archie. Tune in now to find out more on Law v. BLM.

Law v Beirut
Hello Everyone!
11 days ago, Beirut underwent 2 horrific explosions that have left a fraction of its population dead, injured and homeless. People are greatly deprived of not only their food and shelter, but also, medical and monetary resources in an already fragile Lebanon under the Covid-19 pandemic. These explosions have in turn unearthed years of discontent the Lebanese population have towards their government and its leaders. This week we dive deep into Lebanon's political history with the help of our special guest Sarah Hashem and discover the turmoil that has engulfed this region.
