- Arte
We explore the relationship between International arts and the class struggle. Interviews, Commentary and audio art.
We are Outa-space because artists often lack the place to make and create work.
We are Outa-space because the street, the squares, online and all the common places we mix in are where we need to decide our future.
We are Outa-space because we need to take our minds above the clouds to look down on our planet, to dream, to wonder, but also to see everything in the context of everything else.

Lost at Sea? Series 5, Episode 1
This episode is personal and self indulgent. It's about why this podcast has been off the air for 2 years and why it's coming back, what's it's mission, how it's different but the same?!
I talk about Art(of course), the need to fight the far right today, whats wrong with the left and some personal crises and I start to ask a question about my own humanity type and why I think we all need to listen to oursleves and tell the truth as best we can
The rest of the series won't be like this episode. This one is more personal but if your nosey person you might love it. I just needed to do it so dont care if you like it. Feel free to jump it and wait for next shows when I have got some great artists and activists lined up and will be again working with a wonderful team.
All the art and production is by me (Rob MacDonald) and is expained in the podcast.
Click - The Music in this episode is Hyper-Movement by Parallax
You can read about this song and the meaning of the lyrics in the description of the youtube link.
