  • Summary

  • We are now standing on the precipice of history. Powerful political and cultural forces are seeking to upend western liberal democracies and the freedoms we so often take for granted. Few people understand what’s at stake quite like Ayaan Hirsi Ali.


    After a dramatic escape from a strict Islamic upbringing in Somalia, she found refuge in the Netherlands where she became an elected member of the Dutch Parliament. Now a celebrated author and activist, Ayaan has devoted her life to defending western values against threats from Islamic fundamentalism and more recently, far left progressive ideology.


    Part of her Courage.Media platform, The Ayaan Hirsi Ali podcast explores how anti-western, anti-liberal movements are taking root in our politics, our schools, and our communities. On this podcast, Ayaan invites a variety of world-renowned guests to discuss these issues in great depth with her, and we hope you enjoy listening.

    South Africa in decline: supercharged DEI, corrupt leadership, and broad support for racial violence


    Ayaan is joined by South African human rights lawyer Mark Oppenheimer to talk about why the government is threatening to take land away from white farmers, its ongoing dispute with Elon Musk, the ANC’s real motive behind bringing the genocide case against Israel at the ICJ, and why Julius Malema, the communist politician who endorses violence against white people, could very well become the next President of South Africa.

    The 'Woke-ification' of Science | Michael Shermer | EP08
    Jan 29 2025

    “No scientist ten years ago would have ever gone along with this”


    “People don’t trust these science magazines anymore, they don’t trust medical institutions”


    “Everything we’ve seen on college campuses has infiltrated all the sciences now”


    In this episode, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Michael Shermer delve into the importance of scepticism and transparency. They discuss Michael’s own work in this field, both as prolific science writer and publisher of Skeptic Magazine. From woke-ism in science, to freedom of the press, to ‘blank slate’ theory, they cover all the bases to give a sharp analysis of contemporary Western culture.
