War News Radio

Coverage of war and politics can quickly devolve into a haze of statistics, strategies, and expert predictions. Lost are the completely real effects policy decisions have on real people around the world. We at War News Radio are trying to rediscover the voices of real people. Our show fills the gaps in the media’s coverage by airing new perspectives, both personal and historical, in a balanced and in-depth manner. We hope our broadcasts will engage our listeners and inspire them to engage critically with the rest of the world.
War News Radio fills the gaps in the media's coverage of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan by providing balanced and in-depth reporting, historical perspective, and personal stories.

This week on War News Radio, we speak to two brothers who must decide whether to escape the dangers of a warzone or stay in Baghdad with their family. Listen now to Amelia Templeton’s report.

Then, we hear about two girls who underwent plastic surgery in Iraq for very different reasons. Listen now to Elizabeth Threlkeld’s report.

Next, we learn about the U.S. military’s counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq. Listen now to Alex Marlowe Ginsberg’s report.

Finally, we listen to the tale of an American couple’s 1956 trip to an Iraqi town. Listen now to Aaron Schwartz and Hansi Lo Wang’s report.
