10 Years After the Tunisian Uprising

Foreign Policy recommends: Revolution 1.
In this episode of Foreign Policy Playlist, we feature Revolution 1, a new podcast that delves into the story of the Tunisian Uprising by talking to the people who lived through it.
Ten years after the uprising, FP’s Jonathan Tepperman talks with Erin Brown and Cyrus Roedel, the pair behind the new podcast. They discuss their journey to Tunisia in search of people directly connected to the events that kicked off the Arab Spring and led to the fall of Tunisian dictator Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali.
The featured episode highlights the story of Mohamed Bouazizi, the street vendor whose act of self-immolation was the catalyst for widespread protests.

Spies don’t talk—it’s the cardinal rule of the business. But here at Foreign Policy, we get them to open up. On I Spy, we hear from the operations people: the spies who steal secrets, who kill adversaries, who turn agents into double agents. Each episode features one spy telling the story of one operation.
