Our take on Dissident at the Doorstep podcast

Dissident at the Doorstep tells the story of Chen Guangcheng, a Chinese activist known for standing up to harsh policies. Now, he's caught up in some tricky politics in the U.S. Alison Klayman, Colin Jones and Yangyang Cheng host the show, and they really get into how Guangcheng's changed – or maybe how we never really got him in the first place. It's from Crooked Media, promising much more than a good story. This podcast makes you rethink what it means to be a hero and what we believe in. Dissident at the Doorstep is a politics podcast by Crooked Media.
