The episode discusses the political changes in Bangladesh following mass protests that ended Sheikh Hasina's long tenure, featuring insights from Naomi Hossain.

In 2024, mass protests brought an abrupt end to Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s long tenure in power, opening the door to Bangladesh’s most consequential election in more than a decade.
