MEA: Au revoir or Adieu?

MEA: Au revoir or Adieu?

It's the end of the world as we know it. Wasn't that what REM once sang? Ironically when the famous US rock band from Athens, Georgia committed those lyrics to popular music folklore, the world made more sense. Today, after 17 years and many laughs, smiles, tears (and the odd exasperated outburst), Dr Harry Hagopian brings the curtain down on a remarkable podcasting run with this, the final Middle East Analysis. The epitaph reads: Here lies Middle East Analysis, 2009 to 2026, it lived hard, loved dearly and asks for your prayers as it returns to its maker. Something like that. So for next hour, alongside our guest, Bishop Jim Curry, who takes the lead for the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales for matters related to the Holy Land, we look back on almost two decades of culture and conflict, rancour and resilience not to mention the insight, knowledge and razor-sharp analysis of the good Doctor. But is this really the end? Seemingly so but Harry leaves the door perhaps not open, but slightly ajar by saying au revoir rather than adieu.
