László Molnárfi is a community organizer in Ireland. He is a primary contributor to Aontacht Media and formerly Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union President. He describes himself as part of the left but has recently made waves by critiquing the mainstream left. 
In our chat, he explains the problems of the mainstream left and the rise of left populism. Fascinately, he argues that populism isn’t a dirty word of the right but something more neutral. He advocates for the left to take up populist causes to better unite the populace while also arguing the intellectual case for the authenticity behind it. We cover current Irish politics, the multinational corporate sector in Ireland, Irish history, our shared appreciation for Angela Nagle’s work, and the trends that will shape Ireland’s 2030 election.
You can listen to this podcast on all major podcast platforms as well.

Oung is a journalist and researcher writing for Taiwan-focused Taipology and nuclear-focused Elemental. She was previously a reporter at Taipei Times and ReNews. She also founded Taiwan Offshore Wind Unredacted (unredacted.biz).

In our chat, we discuss her unique perspective of Taiwan and China. On the surface there appears to be rising tensions but could there also be rising friendship? We explore the history of Taiwanese and Chinese relations in trade, diplomacy, and culture. We also touch on US influence on Taiwan and if at this point it's in Taiwan's best interest. Most interestingly, Oung explains the rising discontent of Taiwan's youth propelling a heterodox political leader to the forefront of Taiwan to shake things up. Finally, we go back even further in history to examine Sun Yat-sen who is revered by both sides and could potentially be a unifying political symbol for the future of Chinese and Taiwanese relations.
