Zack and Jenn are joined by Worldly’s first guest host, Vox senior reporter Dara Lind, to discuss President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines — an abrasive populist leader whose year-long war on drugs has already killed over 7,000 people.

For Elsewhere, they look at a bizarre political crisis in Australia that reveals an important truth about immigration.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
