  • Very helpful and accessible!

    Really good resource for sharing with folks who aren’t super involved with politics, but still want to do something:

    I was able to share an episode with a younger cousin and they really appreciated how the host breaks down concepts and terms in a way that is easy to understand.

  • Grounded information

    Most conversations about fascism seem to only talk about history or make wild claims about the future, but these conversations actually take lessons from history and apply them to assessing the current moment, and the near future impacts on our communities in ways that we can actually organize around and respond to. The language is accessible and the tone is connecting - you can feel the long arc of relationships behind Ejeris and her guests. A great podcast!
