Power leaves a trail. Nova and Zuri are here to follow it.
Power Plays is an investigative podcast in which two Gen-Z voices examine political scandals, corruption allegations, hidden money trails, conflicts of interest, and abuses of authority around the world.
With sharp analysis, fearless questions, and a fresh perspective on global politics, Nova and Zuri break down complicated cases and explain how power operates behind closed doors. They trace the people, institutions, financial networks, and decisions at the center of each story—without turning the conversation into another dry political lecture.
From suspicious contracts and unexplained wealth to cover-ups, influence networks, and public officials accused of betraying the people they serve, Power Plays explores what happens when authority is protected by money, silence, and fear.
Power Plays is an independent commentary and investigative podcast. Episodes distinguish established facts, reported allegations, and host analysis. A person discussed in connection with an allegation should not be considered guilty unless responsibility has been established through an appropriate legal process. Sources and corrections are provided when applicable.

Power Plays is an independent commentary and investigative podcast. Episodes distinguish established facts, reported allegations, and host analysis. A person discussed in connection with an allegation should not be considered guilty unless responsibility has been established through an appropriate legal process.
