Our Podcast About the United Nations!
Introducing: "To Save Us From Hell"
“The United Nations was not created in order to deliver us to heaven, but in order to save us from hell.” — Former UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld
That’s long been a favorite quote about the UN — and now it is the title of our new podcast about the United Nations!
To Save Us From Hell is a bi-weekly podcast about the United Nations in which Mark Leon Goldberg and Anjali Dayal break down the latest news and happenings around the UN. From shenanigans at the Security Council to the UN’s life saving humanitarian work around the world, this is a show where two veteran UN watchers will dissect key debates driving the agenda at the UN — and uncover some geopolitical intrigues along the way.
As a journalist, Mark has covered the United Nations for 19 years — since the Kofi Annan era. It’s been his beat since before he started the Global Dispatches podcast nearly 13 years ago. Anjali is an international relations scholar at Fordham University who’s been studying the UN for nearly that long.
We’ve teamed to create this new show because we know the UN, we know podcasting— and there is absolutely nothing like this out there.
To Save Us From Hell is a podcast for both UN insiders and anyone who cares about the UN and who wants to know more about how that puzzle palace works. We are doing this for listeners who need to keep up with the latest news and would appreciate the kind of expert analysis we can provide. We’ll also occasionally invite guests who can discuss specific topics and can reveal the parts of the UN system that sometimes fly under the radar.
Ever wonder why the UN does what it does? (Or doesn’t do something it ought to be doing?) Then this is the show for you.
To Save Us From Hell is available exclusively to our community of paying subscribers. We’ve recorded dozens of episodes! Get a paid subscription to get your UN nerd on!
