1

In this episode, Claire and Scott chat to author and journalist Omar El Akkad about his vital and urgent book of non-fiction One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. (Published by Canongate and Penguin Random House.)

It is difficult to understand the nature of a true rupture while it is still tearing through the fabric of our world. Yet that is precisely what Omar El Akkad has accomplished, putting broken heart and shredded illusions into words with tremendous insight, skill and courage. A unique and urgently needed book.
-Naomi Klein
