  • Tasty, healthy source of protein for a balanced podcast diet

    TFSR opens a window into the concerns of modern anarchism. It does so in an inviting, entertaining, snark-free way. It doesn’t condescend to listeners who may be unaware of the often insular jargon used to contextualize anarchist subject matter. TSFR manages this difficult feat but talking to the regular folks doing the work; folks who happen to have big dreams for what is possible in the world and are willing to roll up their sleeves and do the slow, hard work it takes to make those dreams a re... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tariq D. Khan on Americanism and Red Scares
Q: Could you tell us a bit about the book and about the story that you tell in it?
The book explores the connection between settler colonial violence and anti-left repression in the U.S., arguing these stories are intertwined.
Aaron Losty on Comics Composition and the Cartoonist Cooperative
Q: Can you talk about your use of color in this book?
The color palette was influenced by early comics and it's just a happy accident that it resembles the colors of Palestine.
Aaron Losty on Comics Composition and the Cartoonist Cooperative
Q: What makes for a good collaboration?
Just communication and trust are key components.
The Implications of Trumps War On Antifa (with Moira Meltzer-Cohen)
Q: What does it mean to be called a domestic terrorist, and how does that alter the law's approach toward you?
Currently, it means nothing concrete; there is no legal mechanism to designate a domestic terrorist group, making such claims largely rhetoric.
The Implications of Trumps War On Antifa (with Moira Meltzer-Cohen)
Q: Can you talk about what legally changed with the executive order of September 22nd?
Nothing legally changed; the executive orders are frightening but do not alter existing laws restricting civil liberties.
