This week Tom is joined by award-winning war correspondent
Anthony Loyd for a special “Journalist & Journalist” edition.
Together, they explore why some wars capture global attention
while others, equally devastating, remain largely ignored.
Drawing on three decades of frontline reporting from the Balkans
to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Ukraine, Anthony offers a unique
insight into how compassion fatigue, geopolitics, history, and
media dynamics shape public awareness. The conversation contrasts
Russia's invasion of Ukraine with Sudan’s overlooked civil war.
Anthony also reflects on the personal toll of covering forgotten
wars, and what it means to keep telling these stories, even when
the world isn’t listening.

Recorded August 2025.
