War News Radio fills the gaps in the media's coverage of the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond by providing balanced and in-depth reporting, historical perspective, and personal stories.
After President Trump's capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January 2026, there was a mix of relief and skepticism in the Venezuelan diaspora and across the U.S. Trump's actions without congressional approval marked a turning point in foreign intervention without a clear path forward towards democratic progress. Maduro's illegitimate rule was finally over. But will Venezuela's authoritarian rule lessen?
Liselotte Harrity, a leader of Casa de Venezuela, and Diego Adrian Zuniga, a Haverford College student, speak on their views as members of the Philadelphia area's Venezuelan diaspora. Sam Handlin, a Swarthmore Political Science professor who studies authoritarianism in Latin America, discusses his research and reactions in January. This episode of War News Radio was reported in January 2026 and reflects the viewpoints then. Information and perspectives may have changed since. Reporting by Lucy Tobier.

Human Rights in Action: Third episode
Despite its frequent usage in everyday discourse, the concept and application(s) of human rights can be quite elusive. It is typically assumed that human rights are a set of objective rights that are endowed to every person regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion and citizenship status. Human rights are also believed to be established and protected by the United Nations—another seemingly objective organization. In this podcast series, I sought to a) critique the imagined universality of human rights by contextualizing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and b) provide tangible applications of human rights by interviewing three significant contributors to this field. Each interview covers a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, international structures that keep Haiti poor (Ep: 1 Brian Concannon Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti), the importance of community based approaches in supporting survivors of sexual violence both domestically and internationally (Ep: 2 Payal Shah '03 Physicians for Human Rights) and a buddhist’s approach to international human rights advocacy (Ep: 3 Nicole Phillips Haitian Bridge Alliance),
