In this episode of FO° Podcasts, Fair Observer’s Editor-in-Chief Atul Singh speaks with Lauren Greenberg, Deputy General Counsel at White & Case LLP, about the transformative impact of Title IX on women’s sports in the United States. From founding Dartmouth’s first women’s softball team to filing a landmark Title IX complaint, Greenberg shares how law became her tool for creating equal opportunity. The conversation explores the evolution of women’s athletics, the life skills sports cultivate, gaps in media representation, and why true gender parity still requires cultural change. They also discuss the next frontier — pay equity, leadership roles and expanding support for underrepresented sports. A powerful discussion on rights, opportunity and the future of women in sport.

In this episode, Founder, CEO & Editor-in-Chief Atul Singh sits down with Dr. Edmund Ghareeb, renowned scholar, historian and author of Enemy of the Sun: Palestinian Poetry of Resistance. Together, they explore the remarkable story behind the book’s publication, its connection to the Palestinian struggle, and how poetry became a powerful voice of identity, resistance and survival.

Ghareeb recounts how the book, Enemy of the Sun, featured works by iconic poets such as Mahmoud Darwish, Samih al-Qasim and Rashid Hussein — figures who turned Palestinian poetry into political testimony. The conversation traces the book’s unlikely publishing journey, its ties to calls for resistance like the Black Panther movement and its rediscovery decades later.

The discussion delves into the intersection of politics, literature, and history, exploring how Palestinian poetry connects with broader human struggles, from apartheid and exile to freedom and dignity.

This powerful conversation captures not just the Palestinian cause, but the universal resilience of those who fight to be heard.

In this episode of FO° Podcast, Producer Rohan Khattar Singh speaks with Zweli Martin Dlamini, investigative journalist from Eswatini, about a shocking new policy under the Trump Administration — the deportation of third-country migrants to Eswatini, a tiny landlocked kingdom in southern Africa.

The conversation uncovers the controversial “Dollars for Deportees” deal, exploring whether Eswatini’s monarchy, led by King Mswati III — is financially benefitting from US deportations. Dlamini explains how this arrangement, which sends non-Eswatini nationals to the country, has raised serious human rights and legal concerns.

Why would one of Africa’s smallest nations sign such a deal? Is the US outsourcing its migrant crisis to weaker states, and at what cost?

This episode investigates power, money, and exploitation behind an agreement many call modern-day dumping by the West. Join Rohan Khattar Singh and Zweli Martin Dlamini as they unpack the ethics, economics, and silence surrounding one of America’s most disturbing foreign policy moves.
