Aiding & Abetting is a podcast from Karama exploring the uncomfortable realities, contradictions, and power dynamics behind modern humanitarian aid.

Hosted by Karama founder Tom Colley, the series goes beyond familiar charity narratives to ask deeper questions about who really holds power in the aid system, and whether the current model is fit for purpose.

Through conversations with aid workers, activists, researchers, and local responders, the podcast examines issues including localisation, mutual aid, donor politics, colonial legacies, and the future of humanitarian action.

Produced by Karama, a network supporting locally led mutual aid responses and advocating for more dignified and accountable humanitarian systems. Aiding & Abetting is for anyone who wants an honest insider’s view of how humanitarian aid actually works, and what meaningful alternatives could look like.
