The Lazarus Heist (international politics and cybercrime)

# data[].attributes.body
About the podcast: Hackers, North Korea and billions of dollars. With Jean Lee and Geoff White. Investigators claim a secretive, elite North Korean hacking ring, nicknamed the Lazarus Group, is responsible for the theft of billions of dollars around the globe. Pyongyang denies having anything to do with cybercrimes, saying the United States is making these allegations to try to tarnish its image. Season 1 told the stories of the Lazarus Group's alleged hacks on Sony Pictures Entertainment and Bangladesh Bank and the WannaCry ransomware attack. Lazarus returns in season 2 begins at an ATM, possibly near you.

At first glance, this was perhaps not a topic that would be on top of my list. However, I got hooked from the first episode onwards. It became one of my favourite podcasts of last year, because of the impressive journalism with many insights and great suspense like a real-life international (and little-known) detective story. Thoroughly recommended!

About the podcast: The world’s most popular history podcast, with Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook tells the stories behind the history. They question the nature of Greatness, why the West no longer has civil wars and whether Richard Nixon was more like Caligula or Claudius. They're distilling the entirety of human history, or, as much as they can fit into about fifty minutes. One of my favourites!

The Hundred Years' War on Palestine with Rashid Khalidi

In this podcast of November 2023, Palestinian-American historian Rashid Khalidi discusses his latest book The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017, which is essential reading to understand the context of the current war in Gaza. Khalidi defines Zionism not only as a nationalist project in conflict with the Palestinian one, but also a settler colonial project supported by the British and later the American imperialism. He begin in the late Ottoman period as Khalidi examines the familiar episodes and key turning points, which he characterizes as declarations of war and wagings of war on Palestinians. He discusses the 1917 Balfour declaration and the communal conflict in the British Mandate of Palestine that led to the general strike and Arab revolt of 1936. The 1948 war, the Palestinian Nakba, and the creation of the State of Israel provide the backdrop for Cold War period conflicts, the rise of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and the outbreak of the First Intifada, which culminated in the Oslo Accords of 1993-95. Khalidi reflects on his experiences with the failures of Oslo, which set the stage for the rise of Hamas in Gaza and periodic sieges that have continued to the present day. He concludes with a consideration of the current war, situating the unprecedented civilian toll of both the attacks by Hamas in Israel and the subsequent Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip within Khalidi's larger narrative of more than a century of war on Palestine.
