  • Crucial listening

    Project Censored holds a place of honor in my saved folder. There’s a few episodes that I go back to over & over but the No State Solution with Mohammed Bamyeh is probably my most replayed podcast of the year. Thank you, Eleanor & Mickey & everyone involved. I appreciate you all

    It’s vital to have access to press and news sources that are not owned by the establishment, corporations, or government. If I could change one thing, it would be the theme music. When listening to news, I prefer a calm, bombastic-free energy. Leave the jacked-up approach to CNN and FOX. P.S. Also, when the word “The” is in the podcast title, guess what happens in the sort. Needle in a haystack. Stand out, just use “Project Censored Official”. In closing, I LOVE the music breaks. Wow. IT’S TIME ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ALPRs: The Surveillance State on Wheels
Q: What can listeners do during the National Week of Action against ALPRs?
Ed outlines actions such as public events, ALPR 101 sessions, and 'flock walks' to map cameras, plus engaging with local officials and using KnowALPRs resources to organize.
ALPRs: The Surveillance State on Wheels
Q: How are people organizing against ALPR contracts, and where have they achieved wins?
Ed details city-by-city organizing, contract cancellations, and the emergence of a broader ecosystem with other vendors replacing canceled contracts, emphasizing that the fight is about the technology model rather than a single company.
ALPRs: The Surveillance State on Wheels
Q: Given the new Supreme Court ruling on geofence warrants and location data, do you think this will impact Flock's ability to operate?
Ed expresses skepticism that the ruling will broadly limit surveillance, suggesting the impact will be narrow and primarily affect cell phone data rather than ALPR datasets.
ALPRs: The Surveillance State on Wheels
Q: Could you walk us through what ALPRs are and how they create, or really make use of a loophole that basically avoids sidesteps the Fourth Amendment?
Ed explains that ALPRs like Flock Safety capture images continuously, store them in a central database, and enable searches on anything visible in the image, not just license plates, effectively broadening surveillance capabilities beyond the original purpose.
From Factory Farms to Firewalls: Resisting Corporate Power
Q: What makes Little Red Barns a different lens on factory farming and civil rights than mainstream coverage?
Potter discusses firsthand reporting, archival research, and the 'Little Red Barns' framing that reveals greenwashing, the impact on rural communities, and the broader political power plays protecting industrial agriculture, beyond what corporate media typically covers.
