The Belarus solidarity algorithm

A year into the protest movement in Belarus, what are things like on the ground? This week we talk to the poet Hanna Komar about her own experience in detention, and the extraordinary "algorithm" of solidarity among women in the movement. We're also talking about Russian gas, Norwegian oil, and the magnificence of Emma Raducanu.

You can read Hanna's article, 'Sisterhood behind bars', here.

This week's Isolation Inspiration: Lykke Li and Robyn on Song Exploder; The Book of Reykjavik.
