Soundtracks from the Militant 70's: The Revolutionary Music of Paredon Records
When Detroit-born singer and organizer Barbara Dane attended the 1967 Festival de la Cancion Politica in Havana it sparked a bold idea: she would launch a grassroots record label to curate music from the world's revolutionary anti-colonial movements. Thus was born Paredon Records. Forget everything you've learned about the protest music of the 1960's and tune in as Ryan and Riot-Folk alum turned public radio producer Mark Gunnery speak with Barbara about the vision behind Paredon, the incredible artists she collaborated with and her defiant journey as a blacklisted leftist musician in the Cold War.

The Violent Rise of Narendra Modi
Originally recorded in early April, Ryan is joined by activist academics Sam Agarwal and Smriti Upadhyay to discuss the historic farmers protests in India and the authoritarian government led by Narendra Modi. From overseeing anti-Muslim pogroms as the governor of Gujarat State in 2002 to becoming the country's Prime Minister in 2014, Modi is often labeled the Donald Trump of India. But the movement behind him has deep organizational roots and a complex network of civil society organizations, corporate financiers and social media giants aiding and abetting his regime. While the episode was recorded before the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in India, it provides some of the context which might help explain this terrifying moment. Read Sam's recent Truthout piece here: https://truthout.org/articles/bidens-trade-policy-with-india-could-accelerate-global-climate-catastrophe/.

Egypt: The Revolution and its Aftermath
Ten years ago, Egyptians took to the streets against a decades-old military dictatorship. But the initial success of the revolution faded, first with the entry of the Muslim Brother to power, and then with the military-coup that overthrew them. Today, Egyptians again live under military rule, and tens of thousands of activists, journalists, artists and other political prisoners linger in the country's most notorious prisons. In this episode, Ryan speaks with Saed, a participant in the revolution who was later held in Tora Prison, and scholar Vivienne Matthies-Boon, who has been researching the deep impact the revolution and subsequent repression have had on its participants.

How Bolivians Defeated a Coup Regime
Speaking of elections, let's talk about Bolivia. On October 18th, voters handed Luis Arce and the Movement for Socialism a historic majority. In doing so, they defeated a right-wing government that had held power since a coup last year forced President Evo Morales out of the country. Now, Evo's party is back, and they have a bigger mandate than ever. How did this victory come about, especially amidst massacres, mass arrests and vigilante violence against activists and lawmakers alike? Bolivian-based human rights lawyer Thomas Becker joins the show to tell the story.

Jeremy Corbyn Suspended from the Labour Party
British MP and socialist figurehead Jeremy Corbyn was suspended from the Labour Party Thursday over comments regarding public assumptions about anti-semitism complaints within the party.  In this episode, Ryan is joined by UK-based activist and Labour member Navid Somani to discuss Corbyn's suspension, the very real existence of anti-semitism within the party and how this situation should be understood in relation to the larger, ongoing push to delegitimize the left-flank of Labour.

Thai Students Return to the Streets

A week of unprecedented protests against Thailand’s military-government and monarchy have brought the country to a potential crossroads.  A continuation of the student movement that brought tens of thousands to the streets in the early summer, the protests have been met with significant repression from police and a number of prominent activists – some who were living in exile in neighboring states – have died or disappeared under mysterious circumstances. In this episode, Ryan speaks with two participants of the protest movement about the situation on the ground. Below are a few sources you can follow to get updates on the situation, many of which have been censured in Thailand: https://twitter.com/Thisruptdotco https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish https://twitter.com/prachatai_en https://twitter.com/FreeYOUTHth

In this episode, Ryan speaks with Chilean activist Alan Ruckert about the violent rise and deepening crisis of neoliberalism in Chile and throughout the world.

Another Tragedy on the Greek Islands
Ryan speaks with a former medical volunteer who worked in the Moria refugee camp on Lesvos, Greece. The overcrowded camp housing primarily Afghan refugees was burned to the ground last week after two nights of fires tore through it, leaving more than 13,000 people on the streets. It is not yet known who is responsible for the fires, but police and fascist attacks have become a regular fixture of life for refugees on the island, as have riots against the conditions inside camps like Moria.
