The Week That Was podcast takes a look at some of the stories that we’ve published recently on Global Voices.
This week we take you to Cambodia, Syria, Tajikistan, The Gambia and Colombia, where we talk about the defenders protecting their communities from deforestation, government negligence or incompetence and brutal bombings. We also speak to GV Latin America editor Laura Vidal about why the residents of Medellín in Colombia renamed their city.

This episode features stories by Mong Palatino, Echo of Truth, Amira Al Hussaini, Lara AlMalakeh, Demba Kandeh and Cati Restrepo.
