Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode here at The Damage Report. Today is Tuesday and you never

know what you're going to get, but what you're going to get is pretty awesome. We're joined once again

by Yasmin Ali Akhan. Yasmin, welcome back to the show.

Hi, John. Thank you so much for having me. It's always exciting to be on The Damage Report.

Really excited to dive into some of these topics.

And we're excited to have you diving along with us. You're the host of Global Threads podcast.

Let's help people a little bit about what you do.

Podcast and a lot of my work is focused on raising awareness for different issues are going

on around the globe as opposed to just here in the United States. Things that might get some coverage

in our news cycles, but really don't go into a whole lot. And that's what my podcast is all about

looking into the context, the history, how we got here, how it does involve the US, if it does it

all and usually it does. And seeing if and what the way forward is from that point.

That's awesome. And it's important. America's a really insular country. We're trained to only

care about our own history and what's going on here. Most people don't pay attention to international

news. And so it's good that you're trying to get them to. Thank you. We try occasionally too on TDR

and it's fun. We cover news occasionally from around the globe and then release it. And nobody

watches it's that's always fun. We're not going to stop. We've been doing it for years. We're going

to keep doing it. Give us a couple thousand views, whatever. We're still going to do it anyway.

Yeah, it's just just the Iranian election. No need to watch it or anything anyway.

But we're very glad to have you here, everyone. Thank you for being here. Regardless of what platform

you're watching on, maybe you're on the app, maybe you're on Twitch, maybe YouTube. I don't know,

maybe you're on a platform. I don't even know about it. There's probably a lot of those.
