Some news about @MHConflicted. After nearly eight years, @AimenDean and I have had to stop producing the podcast for Message Heard, following unresolved difficulties over payment for our work.

It's a disappointing way for this chapter to end, especially after everything we've put into the show. But we're enormously grateful to all our Dear (and Dearest!) Listeners who've supported us over the years.

The good news is that Aimen and I have no intention of ending our conversation! The Middle East remains at the centre of world events, and there's still so much we'd love to explore together. We are currently devising an exciting new plan and will share more with you soon!

For anyone who'd like to keep in touch, I've set up a little mailing list. If there's news about what Aimen and I might do next, I'd love to be able to share it with you. You can leave your email here:

Always a pleasure speaking to @BShtwtr about Yemen! This time, he talks about the city of Taiz which is once again suffering from a brutal Houthi siege. A reminder that regional conflict is more than just geopolitics!

So glad to see this, @KarlGustel! I interviewed @opinion’s Adrian Wooldridge last week for @MHconflicted to discuss his excellent book! Episode coming soon!
Centrists of the world, unite!

At the book launch for the Swedish translation of Adrian Woolridge’s (@opinion) latest book today @CSSC_SSE.

We disagree on some things but also on many, let me explain 👇

Hey @Aethelfred1, I saw @s8mb's post and immediately thought of my @MHconflicted episode with Crais as well! Wonder if the dynamics we associate with the "rise of modernity" are as old as time, and we simply know more about how they've played out in recent centuries.

Clifton Crais has a similar theory about how the advent of mass-produced guns led to warlords and militarised non-state actors proliferating. Interesting episode of @MHconflicted about it.
