  • A must-listen for the resistance!

    This podcast is consistently thoughtful, well-researched, and grounded in conversations you won’t hear on mainstream outlets. The hosts bring together organizers, writers, historians, and everyday people to break down what’s happening in the world and why it matters. I always come away with new insights and a deeper sense of connection to movements for justice.

    Highly recommend if you’re looking for sharp political analysis without the corporate media spin!

  • Fraud of Recycling Episode

    The episode on the fraud of recycling is excellent. So much deliberate deception from the fossil fuel and plastic industries that is important to know about and that is so negatively impacting our bodies and our planet.
