Huge news this week: We now have a dedicated phone and PHONE NUMBER for Blabbermouth. A Blabberphone if you will. Here’s the digits: 206-302-2063. Call that number to talk back at people you hear on the show, or to tell me about someone I need to haul in and question on the show, or to tell me anything else you think I need to know about.
As for this week’s guests:
At 2:37, I talk about May Day and all the different political philosophies it brings out with Dr. Nick Barr Clingan from the University of Washington’s Comparative History of Ideas program. What, exactly, is anarchy? And how about oligarchy, democracy, capitalism, communism, socialism, and fascism? The good doctor breaks it all down.
Then, at 19:42, I interview two Seattle anarchists who will most likely be in the streets on May Day. (One of them was riding on light rail built by the big bad state government when we talked, so I asked her about that.)
After that, at 44:50, Ijeoma Oluo is back on the show to talk about the devastating power of Beyonce’s new visual album, Lemonade.
Plus, as always, the music of Ahamefule J. Oluo!
