On Episode 89 of the World BEYOND War podcast, we invited Bridget Conley, Research Director at the World Peace Foundation and host of the “Disrupting Peace” podcast, to share her perspective on many topics. We talked about the condition of our militarized planet in 2026, the absurdity of increasing military budgets to meet political quotas, the ruinous profit motive for endless war, the legacy of genocide and atrocity studies in the peace movement, recurring myths of war culture and more.
Mentioned in this episode: “The Priory of the Orange Tree” by Samantha Shannon. Musical excerpt: “Department of War” by Jesse Welles.
