Street fight.
It's not like pumped full of ideology but it's good vibes.
Street Fight is great. I'm tankie as shit but I love Street Fight because they keep it at the same level where Anarchists and I can break serious bread. Stolen labor value? Petty business tyrants? Shitting on the clock? Bonding over shared miseries?
Oh I am there for that shit. I dunno if its a deliberate choice or if they're just too laid back to get into it, but while firmly "Anarchist" the SF boys keep it at a more entry level, and imho, most of the disagreements between Red and Black are at the upper echelons of theory and stuff like that. Street Fight keeps it accessible and succinct, and in that simplicity, they also keep themselves on target. Leftist infighting, while I do think it has a point and a reason, does, as a wholly unavoidable consequence, waste our time on each other and not our mutually shared foe. I value our contradictions and our fights because I respect Anarchist positions and consider them fellow travelers, a good Anarchist critique can ground a Communist opinion in a way that no Capitalist criticism can offer. That's valuable as hell. But it can be a mutual waste of time, especially if its all done in bad faith etc.
Sorry I'm using a thousand words just to say "Street Fight is For Everyone"
Bryan once offered to help me fake a job app. They're good, folks.
Rolling thunder is the best produced, but it's kind of just an NPR style news show. It also takes the side of protests kind of no matter what.
IGDcast has some really good interviews but can be slow.
IGD is probably the singular best anarchist podcast simply cuz it tries to do a bit of everything (news, highlighting actions, topic deep dives) and pulls them all off pretty decently
Final Straw, IGDcast, Black Autonomy Podcast, Coffee with Comrades, Live Like the World is Dying, MaroonCast, Ransom Notes, You Don't Need Permission, Rebel Steps, Red Dot District, Resonance, Trouble, Circle A, From Embers, Indigenous Action, We Will Remember Freedom, and The Institute for Post American Studies, Propaganda By The Seed to name a few. What are you looking for? Theory? Organizing? News?
All of it, i have a bit of free time to listen to a lot and I think i've gotten the hang of what the marxist podcasts are saying. They're getting repetitive so I need new ideas. thanks!
There's some pretty good ones out there. I wish there was one to fill the void of The Guillotine - that's the huge hole missing in the anarchist podcasting space - but the above are all pretty good.
If you're looking for basic anarchist stuff then You Don't Need Permission & Rebel Steps are more about anarchist praxis/organization, Trouble and Circle A are good intros to anarchist thought on various topics, Black Autonomy and MaroonCast are great anarchist podcasts on anarchism from black american perspectives, Red Dot District is more about firearms - think SRA but anarchist, Live Like the World is Dying is anarchist prepper-based, From Embers is kinda like Citation Needed from anarchists, Indigenous Action is anarchist thought from an indigenous perspective, Resonance is an audio distro of various zines, We will remember freedom is a collection of sci-fi type anarchist fiction, Coffee with Comrades is more like a chill conversation on philosophy/theory with authors. Hopefully you find some stuff you like and is useful.
Yeah, it seems like it. I hope they come back, but it's not totally unusual for the working class people who do these podcasts to need to take a break sometimes.
If you want a source for a wide range of anarchist podcasts, I recommend the Channel Zero Network - it's basically an anarchist podcast worker's coop that both hosts a large number of podcasts who all advertise and support each other, and plays an anarchist podcast as like a streaming type thing all the time too.
Time Talks by Chris Time Steele has some good conversations with guests about anarchism and other topics
