#595 The Aussie Woman Living Under Taliban Rule - Hollie McKay

Summary: This episode is amazing and so is Hollie McKay. I can honestly say I have had no other conversation like this on TYP. Or off it. Ever. It starts out typically (a normal chat) but gets truly fascinating about a third of the way in. Hollie is a journalist, author, investigative reporter and former newspaper columnist and TV reporter, currently living and working in Afghanistan. Yes, Afghanistan. She is, in my opinion, extraordinarily brave (a woman living in a country under Taliban rule and putting herself in harm's way) but I will warn you that parts of our conversation might be confronting for some (like her recent trip to a 'suicide bomber' school). I personally found it fascinating, eye-opening and inspiring and yet again, I realised how little I know about so many things.
