    Special - Letting It All Burn w/ Derek Davison
    Oct 4 2024
    Although host Derek Davison has mentat-like abilities to aggregate an enormous amount of world news each day for his Foreign Exchanges newsletter (and once a week for our AP news roundup), even he needs a break every now and then. This week, instead of the news, Danny interviews Derek about his piece for FX, "Letting it All Burn". They talk about what goes into Derek's journalistic work, what drove him to write this unusually reflective column, what he thinks is particularly different (or not) about the current moment in the Middle East, and whether he sees any way out of the status quo in Western/North Atlantic politics.
