About this listen

A 'Dictators v Democrats' program.


Democracy is at war. We can see the forces rallied against it: autocratic states like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, techno-aristocrats, religious fundamentalists and populist demagogues.


From the trenches of Ukraine to the halls of power in the US, democratic, free values are under determined assault.


But, there are those who resist.


In 'Why We Fight' we talk to those who claim to be defending democracy; that's everyone from soldiers, protestors, activists, religious leaders, industrialists and politicians.

We find out who they are, what drove them to take up the struggle, what their work is and why their idea of democracy is worth fighting for.

    Why We Fight: Episode 2 - Tamara
    May 15 2025

    In this episode of Why We Fight, I am speaking with Tamara, a woman protesting against Aleksandar Vucic’s corrupt and undemocratic government in Serbia.

    She is one of many protesting in the wake of a tragedy at a railway station in Novi Sad last year in which 16 people died.

    She speaks about feeling democracy slip away, about how corruption effects daily life and what she wants Serbia’s future to look like.

    Why We Fight: Episode 1 - Sheikh Said Ismagilov
    May 8 2025

    In our first episode of why we fight, we're talking with Sheikh Said Ismagilov.

    He is one of the most senior Islamic clerics in Ukraine and was Mufti of the Religious Administration of Muslims of Ukraine.

    When the Russians invaded in 2022, he signed up to fight as a combat medic, serving in Bakhmut and across the lines. He participated in the liberation of his hometown of Bucha, where the Russians had looted his home.

    Join me, as we find out what it was like for the Sheikh to defend both his faith and freedom.
