  • Episode 2 is a wonderful fantasy story, wonderful because I haven't found fantasy or science fiction that includes principled anarchism since Ursula LeGuin.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mallacht an Ghiorria by Sean Fitzgerald
Q: Could you introduce yourself with your name, pronouns, and just a little bit about who you are and what you do in the world?
My name is Seán Fitzgerald. I'm a male-presenting illustrator and writer living near the Derryvay Mountains; I work with community projects, teach traditional crafts, and I engage in language revival and zine-making.
Additional Persecution Likely
Q: Why the title Additional Persecution Likely?
The title reflects both the historical context of ongoing repression in 1925-1926 and a forward-looking sense that persecution would persist, which resonated with current events in Russia and Ukraine.
Additional Persecution Likely
Q: What drew you to translate Delo Truda and how did you approach the project?
They framed the project as a partisan genealogical effort, aiming to highlight anarchist perspectives often marginalized by Bolshevik narratives, and used archive.org scans and careful translation to preserve voice and context.
Additional Persecution Likely
Q: Could you introduce yourselves and describe what you do in the world?
Oksana and Ben describe their work as translators and researchers focusing on anarchist print culture and the history of Delo Truda, with ties to New York and the broader diaspora.
Road Soda by A.A. Zatarian
Q: What is Road Soda about, in your own words?
She describes Road Soda as a collection compiled from self-published chapbooks spanning about twenty years of traveling, with a throughline about the shift from wandering to settling down and the textures of memory along the road.
