Hands down my favorite new podcast this week was 'Caliphate', a new podcast produced by The New York Times.
Only one word can describe this podcast accurately: Powerful.
Rukmini Callimachi has written about terrorism for years as a journalist for the Times, and this podcast brings listeners into her trips inside the active war zones, and along to meetings with former and current terrorists that form the basis of her journalistic work.
Nick Quah of the Hotpod Newsletter, an email newsletter that covers the business and development of the bourgeoning Podcast sector, emphasized the power and effect of the shows heavy reliance on diegetic recordings (i.e. from real life), as opposed to the typical NPR voice over narration that way too many documentary-style podcasts rely on.
The production is top notch, and for people who believe in any God, the stories you hear will make you question those beliefs hard. There are so many more layers to dig into and threads to pull on as well.
Episodes will drop weekly, and so far two episodes have been released. I can't wait to listen to next weeks episode.
