On Spec Podcast brings you independently produced, unvarnished, and transparent field reporting that goes beyond clickbait.

Each season has a distinct theme: we take you from Mexico to Malawi, Iran to China, Armenia to the United States, offering unexpected deep dives into the everyday lives of people behind international news headlines. These stories —so personal to the reporters on the ground— will give you a nuanced and intimate perspective beyond your own borders.

Latest season: Lethal Dissent

 Lethal Dissent

On Spec’s 18-month investigation takes you inside the secret war waged on Iranian dissidents in exile. We follow poets, soldiers, politicians and ordinary folk who have escaped the Islamic Republic but still live in fear of being hunted down and forced back to Iran to be imprisoned or executed.
