Oft Off Topic

Nauru is granted independence from Australia and now their fate is in their own hands. But what will they do with the Phosphate mines? What is their plan for the ecological devastation their island has endured? Well this episode we find out those answers.
We also learn how about the time their government decided to back a Broadway play, how the island handled the refugee crisis of the early 2000s as well as how well their response to COVID worked out.
All this and more, on this episode of Oft Off Topic
