The podcast Are You Listening? takes a look at some of the stories that have recently come out of the Global Voices newsroom. In this episode, we break down the curious case of coffee culture in Jamaica [1]; a historic visit to the biggest Muslim country [2] in the world; and what it's like to be jailed by ISIS and live to tell the tale. [3] We also introduce you to an iconic Macedonian folk singer who fell into obscurity [4] and lastly, we take you more than a hundred years back to the battle where Ethiopia [5] fought off white colonizers. In this episode, what’s old is new.
