The topics of conversation are varied and of interest to me personally, politically, and ethically. I am recent fan of Amy's on Democracy Now and have been listening every day for several weeks. I had no prior knowledge of Amy's work, career, life or experiences, and learned so much from this interview. I was not educated about events in East TImor before listening. I agree with Amy's views about modern journalists being compromised via relationships with the government. I can't begin to explain as she does, but I got alot out of this discussion and appreciate it very much. Thank you. 2017-04-19T17:22:01Z
