Given the situation in Turkey right now, we thought we would take a break this week.  

You could of course take the time to catch up on our past episodes. But we also encourage you to read up and reflect on some of the other stories happening right now around Turkey: The wildfires that have reduced massive stretches of natural habitat along the southern coast to ashes; the murders of more women through domestic violence; and the struggle to keep people vigilant against the latest Covid surge.  

The news cycle in Turkey can sometimes feel unbearable, so more than anything we hope you take this time to take care of yourselves and those around you.  

Stay safe out there and kolay gelsin.
