Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 37: Grief and Solidarity from Minneapolis to Seattle
Q: What was the purpose of your visit to Minneapolis?
The visit was to learn lessons about community organizing and responses to institutional violence, particularly related to ICE activity.
Ep 36: Make Universities Unruly Again with Brian Soucek

Ep 36: Make Universities Unruly Again with Brian Soucek
Q: How do you explain to listeners what academic freedom is and why it should matter to people outside the university?
Academic freedom is the idea that evaluation of teaching and research should come from disciplinary experts rather than external influences, and it matters because it ensures independent thought and scholarship.
Ep 35: Immigrant Rights are Human Rights with Angelina Godoy
Q: How do you see the connection between state-level protections and the data practices of ICE?
Washingtonians are being rendered more vulnerable by state policies that allow access to information by federal immigration authorities.
