About this episode
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has run Turkey in some capacity for 20 years. Even after his government’s slow, incompetent response to an earthquake and an ongoing economic crisis, the presidential election is heading to a run-off in two weeks. How does Erdogan keep hanging on? And could he finally be unseated?
Guest: Suzy Hansen, author of Notes on a Foreign Country: An American Abroad in a Post-American World
