A wide-ranging and incisive collection of interviews with Noam Chomsky, addressing the urgent questions of this tumultuous moment.

In these informative interviews, conducted for Truthout by C. J. Polychroniou, Noam Chomsky addresses the rapid deterioration of democracy in the United States and rising tensions globally. He examines the crumbling social fabric and fractures of the Biden era, including the halting steps toward a Green New Deal; the illegitimate authority of the Supreme Court, in particular its decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade; and the ongoing fallout from COVID-19. Chomsky also untangles the roots of the War in Ukraine, the diplomatic tensions among the United States, China, and Russia, and considers the need for climate action on an international scale.

Throughout, Chomsky "remains . . . a beacon of hope in the darkest of times" (Sarah Jaffe).

Having one voice, or two similar voices just doesn’t work in audio. Sometimes Chomsky is prefaced sometimes not.
Furthermore, the questioner, author sometimes begins a question with s bit of a diatribe which seems somewhat dogmatic before getting to the question.

Same narrator, two people. Confusing.

Normally I love Chomsky’s insight. But listening I had no idea if he was talking for a sentence or paragraphs. The dialogue lacked direction, focus, and chronological topics. It was a lot of jumping around, and I hate to say rambling.

Lack of focus
