Angle, Anchor, and Voice

by Ezgi Basaran

Angle, Anchor, and Voice is the podcast extension of my Substack, where I write on the politics of Turkey, the Middle East, Islamism, authoritarianism, geopolitics, and the shifting moral and political landscape of our time. I am Ezgi Başaran, a journalist and academic from Istanbul, now based in Oxford. I hold an MPhil and a DPhil from the University of Oxford, where I also teach Middle East politics. I am the author of two books, Frontline Turkey and The New Spirit of Islamism. Published occasionally, sometimes every other week, the podcast will feature conversations with scholars, experts, journalists, policymakers, and practitioners who know the topic well, bring a different perspective, or help widen our gaze. Some conversations may clarify the world around us. Others may make us less comfortable with what we think we already know.

    This week I come to you in podcast form as I promised earlier. I interviewed Faisal Devji, a top historian and a public intellectual. He is the Beit Professor of Global and Imperial History at Oxford and a Fellow of Balliol College. He is the author of some of the most original books written on...

  3. Interview with Nathalie Tocci : Turkey is neither a baddie, nor a goodie for Europe

    This week I am including an interview in podcast form in Angle, Anchor and Voice. The reason is really simple: to let you hear the experts speak directly to you. My hope is that you come away from each conversation holding a better-formed version of the question that drew you in, rather than a...
