Author: EngageMedia December 21, 2021 Duration: 41:11

Pretty Good Podcast caps off its second season with a special two-part series on complexities of freedom of religion and expression online in Indonesia, home to the world’s largest Muslim majority and where minorities have historically been the subject of discrimination and hate speech. Our first episode, with academic Leonard Epafras of the Indonesian Consortium of Religious Studies in Yogyakarta, tackles the broader history of religion in the country, as well as zoning in on the youth’s experience of expressing their beliefs online.


Hosted by EngageMedia, Pretty Good Podcast: Discussions on Digital Rights explores the often unseen connections between daily life and the digital frameworks that shape it. This isn't a series about abstract tech theory; it's grounded in the real-world experiences of the Asia-Pacific region. Each conversation focuses on how current events, from shifting political landscapes to new social movements, directly intersect with critical issues like online privacy, freedom of expression, and digital access. The podcast deliberately amplifies local and regional voices, offering perspectives that are frequently overlooked in global tech discourse. By linking headlines to the underlying principles of digital rights, the show provides essential context for understanding how power operates in our connected world. Tune in for thoughtful, accessible discussions that make the complex landscape of our digital lives not just understandable, but relevant to everyone. You'll find a natural flow of ideas in this podcast, where experts, activists, and community members break down why digital rights matter far beyond the screen.
