Red Scarf Girl by Ji-Li Jiang is another memoir that I've always wondered about. It ties the author's experiences growing up in the Chinese Cultural Revolution into a neat little anti-communist message promoted at American schools.

We’re joined by crypto-court reporter Jacob Silverman to talk about the first week of the trial of SBF, witness testimony, betrayal, parents, what makes a polycule and more.

Felix is joined by Stef aka @iwrite4jacobin to discuss his investigation into Argentina’s AMIA bombing. The 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires has generated much speculation as to who the perpetrators actually were, accusations of irregularities in the investigation, suspicions of cover-ups, connections with intelligence agencies, and the probable suicide of a prosecutor related to the case. Stef takes us through the whole story and its implications for relationships between America, Israel, Iran and Argentina.
