  • Brilliant thoughtful nourishing

    Finally listened to this podcast after multiple recommendations from organizer buddies. Really probing and sober analysis, of this nightmarish moment, but paired with grounded considerations of our response as organizers — and humans. I’m already planning to. assign the Astra Taylor interview for class just for its framing of AI in the classroom. I can tell this podcast is going to enter my weekly rotation as a don’t miss.

  • I'm gobsmacked by having discovered the Movement Memos Truthout podcast because it is consistently delivering real, hard, bone-deep answers to the questions of what the hell are we going to do while the political machine is stealing from us, shrugging at the thought of killing us, and controlling our lives. This is what you are looking for. Listen all day. Share all the days. Get on it.

  • Top notch

    Excellent analysis. Deep but not too dense for the format. Short enough to remain engaging, but long enough to have a lot of substance. Grateful for you all.
