Episode 26 - Stopping By The Dream Chateau
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
Continuing with our special "modern" episodes in the run up to the election, we cover the period of 2013-2015 a period where the wheels seemed to begin coming off the AKP, with Gezi Park, a corruption scandal and an election that saw them lose their majority for the first time. A lot of the seeds of their political vulnerability were planted in this period and we take a good look at them.

We decided to be uncontroversial with this bonus. Instead of tackling a serious issue or a contemporary event, we just chatted about Eurovision. Or we tried to, but enjoy this preview nonetheless and if you want to find out all the other super fun stuff we managed to get into the bonus then head on over to the Patreon:

Episode 25 - Desperately Catching Up
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
Well, it's election time in Turkey and so Sinan will be guiding us through 1970-2013 and covering absolutely everything that happened in that time in Turkey. Don't @ them if they've missed anything. Things predictably don't go according to plan, but at least it's a fun time along the way as we demonstrate why we didn't want this podcast to be topical for as long as possible.

Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Well, this would be a very good episode of almost any other podcast, so why not have a little fun before we enter election mode? We tried, very hard, to talk about the Milli Gorus political movement in Turkey which spawned several very successful political parties including the governing AKP.
