Foreign Policy Playlist recommends: Radio Diaries.
On the latest episode of Foreign Policy Playlist, we spotlight Radio Diaries, a unique podcast that gives ordinary people recording gear and then edits their tape into personal stories. One of the show’s most compelling episodes focuses on Majd Abdulghani, a teenager living in Saudi Arabia and trying to navigate her path to adulthood. We feature that episode on Foreign Policy Playlist this week along with a conversation that FP editor in chief Jonathan Tepperman had with the creator and executive producer of Radio Diaries, Joe Richman. The Saudi episode was produced by Radio Diaries’ Sarah Kate Kramer.

I Spy
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.
