s1e4: since the genocide started, Ukraine has been the focus of the most intense foreign news coverage ever. yet, it has also never been so wrong and distorted. seen through the western gaze, Ukraine is often covered and explained without zero Ukrainian voices. and when they are included, they are labeled too emotional or too biased to take seriously. in this one, we decolonize foreign news coverage of Ukraine. our featured Ukrainian is Olga Tokariuk, a prominent Ukrainian journalist

s1e3: Ukraine has seen an unprecedented wave of global solidarity since russians launched the genocide of Ukrainians. hundreds of millions fundraised, billions sent in various types of aid. millions of people around the world volunteer for the cause of Ukraine's freedom. however, in the end, foreign humanitarian aid to the country is a mess. Ukraine receives tons of stuff she doesn't need and next to zero of what she asks. this week we decolonize foreign myths about what solidarity with Ukraine should really look like. our featured Ukrainian is Tymofiy Mylovanov, Ukraine's former economy minister, current adviser to the presidential administration, and president of Kyiv School of Economics

s1e2: most are familiar with russian culture. as a culture-colonizer it thrived globally at the expense of colonized voices that were silenced, repressed, and appropriated. that's exactly the reason why centuries of kickass anti-colonial art done by Ukrainians remains mainly unknown to the rest of the world. especially the names of Ukrainian women who have been leading it with powerful messages of equality, freedom, and, oftentimes, queerness — decades before it became mainstream in the rest of Europe. Ukrainian scholar Sasha Dovzhyk is our featured Ukrainian for this one.
