    This is an interesting podcast that might be nice for the list. I don’t know much about how to get to the site as it should be posted, but it is once a month and the indigenous creator of the podcast is eager to share it to help people learn about socialism and post-colonialism while the history seems to meld nicely to today’s activists.

      Made an error in the last post. The creator of the podcast is not Indigenous – I misheard him when he said: those of us who live here who AREN’T indigenous. I thought he said ARE, but since it was about Victor Serge – around whom I set my moral compass – I listened to it more than once and realized that. I just wanted to correct that.
