Episode's summary
For six years, Dr Sam Bailey squared up to the Medical Council of New Zealand during a prolonged campaign of corruption, lawfare, and sheer vindictiveness. She was characterised as presenting a “serious risk of harm to the public”, despite no evidence of such a charge. Fined to the value of NZ$250,000, Sam was entered into bankruptcy via a deceit by a state which did not even inform her. After much soul-searching, and to avoid state seizure of her assets, Sam has set up a funding page which asks, ‘Can You Help Dr Sam?’. Meeting the target will also allow her to continue the work which has been so valuable to so many since 2020.

The Syria Podcast: Yemen, Empire and the Gulf
ListenedMike Robinson is joined by Vanessa Beeley and, on his first appearance, Isa Blumi, Professor in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Stockholm University for episode 12 of the Syria Podcast. They discuss why Yemen remains so poorly understood in the West, and why its resistance matters far beyond its borders. In this episode: Vanessa outlines the Saudi-led war launched in March 2015 at the request of former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, and the plans to partition the country. Isa explains why academic and think-tank coverage reduces Yemen to tribalism and sectarianism, and who funds that research. Isa traces how the Gulf states became pillars of the petrodollar system, and why he believes their ruling families are now racing to consolidate assets.
