  • Mutual aid

    Thank you for teaching about mutual aid. I have found that mutual aid has made a home for my radical nature and an answer to my question of there must be something more than this. Truly the people that are the problem have the answer.

  • RIP

    Basically dropped out of relevance before the pandemic and doesn’t even bother to speak to what’s going on, or with any frequency. Culturally just outdated.

    You can sit in a puddle of your own urine and complain or you can ride up and do something about it.

  • Possibly my favorite

    When it comes to politics, this is definitely my favorite podcast. These folks are able to speak about anarchism in such a way that even my neoliberal dad can tolerate an episode once in a while 🏴
