The war in Syria is well into its fifth year, why can’t it be stopped? We meet “Madaya Mom” a new Marvel comics superhero inspired by a real-life mother from a besieged Syrian town. A Californian explains how he became the “coffee king” of Serbia. And we learn where the term “gaslighting,” which has been tossed around a lot this US election season, came from. Plus, singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno shares a story about the time she met her superhero Ricky Martin.
