I've been downloading Podcast episodes to listen to on the plane during my upcoming travels. This one caught my eye, so I listened to it while I was packing. Chris Hayes, a well known cable news host interviews various people for his podcast called "Why is this Happening?"

In this episode, posted November 21, 2022, Chris interviews Macer Gifford, a British volunteer soldier fighting in Ukraine. Macer identifies as a Humanist, which is why I'm posting the interview here. It's refreshing to hear from Humanists doing heroic things in an effort to promote fairness against aggression.

It was an interesting interview. Maybe folks here would find it interesting. Here is what the blurb for the podcast says:

"As the war intensifies in Ukraine, we thought it was time to revisit what’s going on there. Although the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson was recently liberated, the battle for freedom continues in other regions. Harry Rowe, known as Macer Gifford, is a British volunteer soldier fighting in Ukraine. Gifford assumed the pseudonym Macer Gifford after needing a new identify while fighting in Syria from 2015 to 2017. The former currency trader arrived on the ground in Ukraine 10 days before the war began. Gifford joins WITHpod to discuss the trajectory of the war since June, what he’s hearing from folks there versus what he’s heard from the West, his thoughts on how long the conflict could go on and more."
