A Place to Sleep

Do people without housing have a constitutional right to rest?

The controlling court for nine Western states said yes, so now Oregon requires cities to set aside places to sleep.

We sent reporters across the state to see what it’s like to sleep in these sanctioned spaces.

Hungary’s Cautionary Tale: How Autocrats Broke Democracy

Viktor Orbán has become an icon to far-right Christian nationalists around the world. How did this onetime radical firebrand become one of Vladimir Putin’s staunchest allies — referred to by some as a “Trojan horse for Russia?” 

 

Do Orbán and his majority Fidesz party serve the best interests and desires of the people? Or is he the godfather of a criminal organization built on conspiracy theories about the European Union, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, George Soros and others? Is Viktor Orbán’s Hungary, in fact, a cautionary tale for those who believe in free, representative, multi-political party democracy? 

 

To explore these questions and more, CITIZENARTS is honored to present a dynamic podcast discussion with Borbala Kriza, Bálint Magyar and Zsuzsanna Szelényi in Hungary’s Cautionary Tale: How Autocrats Broke Democracy.

Dubai’s infamous ruler, Sheikh Mohammed, garnered praise for modernizing the UAE and advocating for gender equality.

Face-Off

The nuclear age began in secrecy and scientific ambition. The story is familiar, but its implications have never left us. A bomb created in a moment of wartime urgency became the foundation of a global order defined by terror and deterrence. But what happens when that global order breaks down?

Face-Off: Nuclear Anarchy is an 8-part series tracing the arc of nuclear danger from the Manhattan Project to the Cuban Missile Crisis to the abandonment of the New START treaty and the shattering of the nonproliferation order today. We take you behind the scenes of key moments and key places of the nuclear story to shed light upon the present.

In each episode, Pulitzer-winning journalist Jane Perlez interviews leading participants in the nuclear conversation: David Sanger, Tong Zhao, Rose Gotemoeller, Alex Wellerstein and more. Plus, Matthew Bunn, of Harvard’s Managing the Atom project, joins for a wrap-up segment to put everything in context. 

We are living in a more crowded and unstable nuclear world—where proliferation spreads not through ideology or conquest, but through fear, hedging, and the collapse of confidence. Face-Off asks who will hold the line, and for how long? 

Episodes out every Tuesday in October & November 2026. 

This project is made possible by the Belfer Center at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Managing the Atom Project. Our special guest is Professor Matthew Bunn, Faculty Chair of the Managing the Atom Project (@matthew-bunn.bsky.social).

Face-Off is produced and reported by Jane Perlez. Our production team is Nina Porzucki, Louise Morris, and Frank Zhou. Sound design and mixing by John Myers and Rowhome Productions.

The Dark Shining Moment Countercast

It was the moment the 21st Century began in earnest: In 2016, Russia reached out across the internet and interfered with America’s democracy, setting the conditions that helped propel Donald Trump into the White House.
Dark Shining Moment tells the story of the first people to detect Russia’s interference – before that pivotal election. It’s a narrative about how information has been used to create a new reality for the public, for democracies and for the world – kicking off the crisis we’re in today.
While the first six episodes titled Dark Shining Moment tells the story of how Russia exploited the internet, The Dark Shining Moment Countercast examines some of the promoted narratives coming out of authoritative regimes. Identifying such disinformation is just part of the puzzle. The Countercast will also explore how democracy can thrive in the digital age because, in the information age, narrative doesn’t just inform a society–it shapes the questions that people ask.
