The BAD PODCAST – Why We Don’t Vote and Other Anarchist Topics

The BAD PODCAST – Love Is More than a Feeling (and Thoughts on Palestine)

Aly and Jim talk about love, particularly how Aly defines it and how many of the deepest aspects of it can apply to people who are not our romantic partners.

This is our 10th episode, and we (Aly and Jim) go into our roots as an antifa dance (& theatre) collective, discussing why we believe what we do in street dancing, art, and theater are revolutionary antifascist activities just as vital to a revolutionary movement as other forms of direct action.
