About this listen

 Cliff Potts is an American writer and editor behind WPS News, an independent news archive documenting events as they happen. Broadcasting from the Philippines, this podcast is where he steps out from behind the writing to talk through the ideas, questions, and observations that led to his work.

This is not a polished broadcast or a traditional news show. It’s a working space—part reflection, part analysis, part attempt to make sense of a world that doesn’t always make sense. Episodes focus on why something was written, what was happening at the time, and what still hasn’t been resolved.

Recorded from the Black Bunker, FOB Philippines, this is the Cliff Potts Power Hour, Truncated—for the pod people.Copyright Cliff Potts Social Sciences

    We’re taking a short pause to fix the audio and come back the way this is supposed to sound.

    In the meantime, WPS News is still active on the web. You can find the full archive and ongoing work at wps.news.

    We’ll be back in May with a better signal. Stay with us.
