East and West

David Lepeska

14 Episodes

Turkey is ubiquitous these days: warring in the Maghreb and the Levant, popping up in your Netflix, weaponizing its diaspora in Europe and peddling its perspective in DC. Inside the country we see democracy drifting toward dictatorship. Women in the crosshairs. The Kurdish movement crushed. An economy in shambles and a ruling party facing its stiffest test yet. On East and West, veteran journalist David Lepeska talks to analysts, activists, authors, artists and officials to get the real story. The name of the show refers to that cliched bridge between civilizations, Turkey, to the supposed clash between the Christian and Muslim worlds, and to his peripatetic foreign correspondent's life, yo-yoing between his U.S. home and half a dozen locales on the other side of the world, so he'll also tackle any subject that strikes his fancy and interview a variety of guests suggested by subscribers.
