In today’s episode of The GeoPolitical, Arav Kapoor discusses the “messed up” nature of American politics while also shedding light on the brutal civil war taking place in the south Asian nation of Bangladesh.
In today's episode of The GeoPolitical I, Arav Kapoor, has the spectacular opportunity to sit down with a firefighter in the town of Fairfield, Connecticut: Mr. Brian Madia to discuss the ins and outs of his complex and rewarding job. From terrorism and its risks to fire safety, this is a your one-stop-shop for a variety of fire related questions and more!
Listen to James Blanco and Arav Kapoor discuss underfunded American pubic transit and the rise of rideshare apps (Uber/Lyft) throughout the nation!

In this episode of The GeoPolitical, I am joined by the food service director of Whitsons Culinary Group at Fairfield Public Schools in Fairfield, Connecticut to kick off a long series discussing weather American School Lunches are actually as health a they seem to be given many different economic and political factors that may be weighing into the healthy futures of our coming generations! Check out my updated website here: https://www.thegeopolitical.net/homeA quick disclaimer concerning the interview: Mrs. Carr is employed directly for the private organization, Whitsons Culinary Group, not Fairfield Public Schools but rather acts as a middle man between district employed food service employees and Whistons employed people like herself. As such, the information she shares may pertain to a general positive outlook toward Whitsons Culinary Group, a group providing lunch services through this part of the nation, rather than that of the people of Connecticut, the state department of education and the Fairfield Public Schools district. Regardless, please enjoy the interview.Happy Summer Political Peeps. :)
