  • Deputy Mayor Putin

    How did a once faceless bureaucrat, a man whose own wife said he was born under the sign of the vampire, become the idealized face of Russian manhood and its authoritarian leader? Deputy Mayor Putin explores how Putin’s formative years shaped him, and how the supporting cast of characters he gathered along the way helped him get to the Kremlin’s inner sanctum.

  • Undercurrents: Tech, Tyrants, and Us

    Smartphones, social media, and surveillance tech are sold to us as ways to build a safer, more connected, and convenient world. Many of us were hopeful this tech would also lead to a more open, more free society. But with authoritarianism seemingly on the rise across the world, did we get it wrong? Maybe tech is just making life easier for the tyrants. In eight episodes, reported from around the world, journalist Natalia Antelava and the team from Coda Story focus on the stories of people caught up in the struggle between tech, democracy, and dictatorship, and ask whether tech is doing more for dictators than it is for democracy.
