The Killing of Marie Colvin

The Killing of Marie Colvin

Time: 1:03:25
In February 2012 - a year after the war in Syria had started - photographer Paul Conroy and Sunday Times correspondent Marie Colvin smuggled themselves into the war-ravaged Syrian city of Homs. As the first journalists on the scene, they witnessed the targeted attacks perpetrated by the Syrian government on women, children and civilian hospitals. 
As they were broadcasting the siege of Homs live to the world, the Syrian regime was using their satellites to locate and target them. The missile attack that followed killed both Marie and French photojournalist Rémi Ochlik and severely injured Paul. 
Ten years on since the start of the conflict in Syria, Paul Conroy talks to former Sunday Times journalist and colleague of Marie Colvin, Tom Pattinson, about those fateful hours in Homs.

One of the few to go beyond the sound bites...

Well informed, well presented and well constructed - one of the few podcasts out there that attempts to go beyond the sound bites and present multiple sides of an argument to explore the issues really at play. Well done - I will continue to listen and recommend to others.

Defiance - BRILLIANT

I have listened to most podcasts that dig into this nefarious couple and this one is one of the best. Beautiful production, well researched and Pattinson has a great voice....

Entertaining and thought provoking

Peter McCormack is an interesting chap, he’s a self professed entertainer more than he is a journalist or Bitcoin expert (check out Peter’s other excellent podcast What Bitcoin Did), but I think this approach works well. When you know all the answers, it’s difficult to ask those all important questions.
You do need to be inquisitive, and impartial, and Peter comes across as both. I’m not sure about the name Defiance, but I can see why it was chosen as it is attention grabbing. A natural progression from WBD and an opportunity to explore more libertarian/ individualist concepts and ideas, presented is a ‘podumentary’.
In less than five years time Pete is going to be super famous and a household name with the kids. Early bitcoin podcasters will become bitcoin royalty.
Enjoy. 👍🏻

Superb journalism

Was drawn here for Ghislane Maxwell story but will now listen to all of them. Great investigative reporting that is truly gripping to listen to. Highly recommended.

A light in the dark

Defiance is doing the important work of diving deep into the heart of global issues, broadcasting the full story, often abstracted away and condensed by hearsay and social media headlines. Peter and crew do a wonderful job of exploring the big picture, the background, and contextual nature of these issues and leave you with an informed perspective. There is evil out there hiding in plain sight and it is crucial that these people are exposed. A great series and I can’t wait for more.

Amazing. Well worth listening to.

I wasn’t sure if this was my thing but I was wrong. I was gripped after the first episode. Give it a go and see what you think. Very well put together. 5/5

Fight the power

I’ve been listening to What Bitcoin Did for a few years and decided to give this a go. Completely different but amazing. I like the topics Peter decides to highlight, I enjoyed the one with his friend in South America. The Steve Wankurchin series was good and the recent 4 part series on The Ghost Inside was so emotional. It has been my highlight podcast of 2020. I didn’t know the band before this but I’m now getting tickets for Brixton in 2021. Thank you.

All episodes

A great break down of difficult topics on the geopolitical landscape. Easily digestible segments with a hint of humour in some. Very worthwhile listen.

Subscribed for the ride

Listened to my first episode of Defiance and loved it! Pete’s humility and conversational interview style makes an enjoyable listening experience. I only wish the episode had been a little longer. I’ve hit the subscribe button and will be digging in the archives for my next fix 👍🏿

Big fan of Peter’s work on the What Bitcoin Did podcast, and this is a brilliant complimentary podcast. See things from a different perspective - open your mind.
