This is the first audio edition of the New World Same Humans newsletter.
A number of you have asked for the Sunday instalments as a podcast, and I’ll be recording an audio version of every Sunday newsletter from now on. Let me know what you think.
This week, I reflect on the racist killing of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis on 25 May, the global wave of protests that have come about since, and what they mean for those of us who want to be better allies to those who most need it.
If you prefer to read this week’s instalment, you can find the full text version here.
