As the weather cools stateside, the second week of October brings with it new heat – the stories we've watched for several weeks suddenly carry more urgency. We provide historical context because it expands our perspective. But sometimes the intersection between the past and the present can leave us in deep reflection – how events separated by decades seem to have similarities - and this week is no exception. We cover a lot of ground here - talk of Armageddon coming from the U.S. President, Russian attacks in Ukraine, North Korea marking a national day with increasingly aggressive rhetoric, a little discussed attack at a U.S. base in Syria (believed tied to Iran), and inflation data arriving on the same day Congress restarts the January 6th Committee Hearings.

A special conversation that takes you behind the scenes as a war reporter. Who is a "fixer," what do they do, and why do they matter? In the world of journalism, a fixer is an important person who the audience rarely sees but who is essential to news gathering in nearly every way — a lifeline for both the reporter and the story — as you'll hear in this special conversation between veteran war reporter Hollie McKay and her fixer, Ahmad Naweed, who lives in Kabul. Listen as the two share insights into a world few of us know, explaining what it's like to work under Taliban rule in a country transitioning power virtually overnight. You will hear them reflect on the extraordinary situations they navigated: close calls averted, adventures shared, and what life is like in Afghanistan one year after the Taliban takeover of the country and the withdrawal of the United States.
