If You Were In Charge with Sanam Naraghi Anderlini
Each episode, she tackles a major global challenge but flips the script. Instead of hearing from politicians and pundits, Sanam talks to the frontline doers and imaginers—activists, organizers, and peacebuilders—whose lived experience, courage, and ideas are reshaping what’s possible. People who, if they were in charge, could change the world.
Exploring what they’re already achieving, what they could do with greater power and money, and, most importantly, what gives them hope.
Join Sanam and her daughter, Soleh, each week as they reimagine a better future with thought-provoking discussions and insights from leading global experts.

A Woman in Charge: Reimagining the UN's Power in This Age of Crisis
This week on the podcast, Sanam Naraghi Anderlini is joined by two distinguished voices in global diplomacy to examine the United Nations at a critical juncture.
Richard Gowan, Director for UN and Multilateral Diplomacy at the International Crisis Group, and María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, former President of the UN General Assembly, Foreign Minister of Ecuador, and poet, delve into the mounting pressures facing the UN amid intensifying great power rivalries.
Their conversation explores the urgent need for institutional reform, the vital importance of gender parity in global leadership, and the UN’s responsibility in advancing preventive diplomacy to sustain peace and security. The guests call for a renewed commitment to multilateralism, accountability in implementing resolutions, and the long-overdue appointment of a female Secretary-General.
