This podcast episode delves into two distinct yet significant themes: the harsh realities faced by Belarusian journalists living in exile amid governmental repression, and the cultural significance of the popular Chinese card game Guan Dan. Through poignant accounts of journalists who left their homeland due to persecution and their courageous efforts to provide independent news despite ongoing threats, alongside an exploration of Guan Dan’s rise and its reflection of societal trends in contemporary China, the episode highlights the resilience of individuals against oppressive regimes and the way culture adapts to economic challenges.
