First guest appearance on Overton Sisters! In this episode Anne and Maria interview Derin Koçer - a war studies and international relations major, a charming Istanbulite and a columnist for various magazines in English and Turkish.

Together they talk about Erdogan-era politics, political opposition, secularity and identity in Turkey. All of these topics are tied together with the recent Turkish TV show that is now available on Netflix. “Ethos” (or “Bir Baskadir” in Turkish) has sparked many conversations in Turkey and its diaspora . The show dissects the dichotomy of the progressive secular and conservative religious worlds within the contex of modern Istanbul. We highly recommend you watch it!
