Season 2, Episode 4 – “Villains with Borders”Who decides which country is the villain?In this episode of Who Yelling Now, Olga Foreign explores how nations are cast as monsters — sometimes for truth, sometimes for convenience, sometimes for survival.America is a villain in the eyes of many abroad, while America names Russia, China, Iran, and others as villains in turn. But villainy at the level of nations is rarely just about justice. It’s about propaganda, power, and control.Through original spoken-word poems and sharp reflection, this episode asks:Why are villains essential to governments?What happens when yesterday’s villain becomes today’s ally?How does fear of an external monster keep citizens obedient at home?And why might villainy, even when manufactured, still be beneficial to those in power?Listen in as we unravel the theater of global villainy — and ask, at the end of it all: Who’s yelling now?
