Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 1.2k ratings
  • great resource

    this show is so helpful and a really good intro to all kinds of important topics. the only reason it’s 4 stars instead of 5 is that a lot of the hosts are pretty deep in millenial cringe humor in a way that i personally find really hard to listen to

    Gave me a jumping off point into anarchist theory and community. Also just a generally good podcast for people who want to learn some practical skills.

    Activists really have a particular sing-song inflection that stops these being good binge material, but the info and tips are great!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Know Your Rights with Mo (Rerun)
Q: What should I do if federal agents arrive or knock on my door?
Do not let them in without a warrant, get their identity, call your lawyer or the hotline, and insist on speaking through counsel; private privileged channels help ensure information is not used against you.
Celeste on How and Why to Talk to Rural Conservatives
Q: How should people approach conversations with those they disagree with, especially in rural contexts?

Celeste on How and Why to Talk to Rural Conservatives
Q: What is the zine about, and what was the thinking behind the project?
The zine is about building good relationships in rural areas to foster potential positive change, moving from initial stress and fear about disagreements to acceptance and practical action, and recognizing that change comes from ongoing, relationship-first work.
Celeste on How and Why to Talk to Rural Conservatives
Q: Could you introduce yourself and tell us a bit about who you are and what you do?

Q: What is a red flag warning and why is it significant for communities in fire country?
