Latest Podcast

Independent and lucid analysis of Indonesian politics, policymaking, justice, and economics featuring Kevin O’Rourke and Erin Cook. The podcasts incorporate exclusive interviews with experts and draws on content from the Reformasi Weekly reports, produced for subscribers since 2003.
We examine new data on air quality and disease risk from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), as Palangkaraya's measurement for 2.5 μm particulates averaged an astounding 120 μg/m3 throughout September – 24 times the maximum safe WHO guideline of 5 μg/m3, and conditions worsened in October. CREA's analysis examines what this means for residents, especially children, and what should constitute a national disaster. Also: Kevin and Erin discuss the mass mobilization of Marines to Jakarta last week, a supposed eavesdropping operation that allegedly constitutes treason, and incipient moves to impeach the vice president.
