Phileas #15 – Our Chinese overlords

Episode 15 is a slightly different show; the original idea was to have a long part of the first, “internationnal” segment as a discussion about China and how we see it in our future, and then move on the the local stories… But as the flow of the show went seamlessly the other way around, we decided to keep it going like the natural, fun conversation we like to have every month. As we said during the show, the Phileas Club is a planet wide coffee table where friends of different backgrounds come together and chat for a while.
So for the month of July, Turki, Scott and Patrick talk about health care, Walter Cronkite, Iranian planes, swine flu pandemic, Barrack Obama, French workers blowing up factories, as well as the issue of sex toys on Saudi TV and the future of our Chinese overlords.

Turki, Julio and myself listen to Neda, an Iranian national, tell us about the situation in her country. We talk about the past and present as we try to understand what led to the uprising we’ve all heard about.
We also take on a few other stories, like Micheal Jackson’s death of course, and EU elections or is issue of the burka in France.
We hope you enjoy this show and that it brings a little bit more understanding of the situation and motivation of the people in Iran.
