  1. Disarming Nuclear Myths with Brennain Lloyd of Northwatch

    Disarming Nuclear Myths with Brennain Lloyd of Northwatch

    Today we’re joined by Brennain Lloyd from Northwatch to discuss the prospective construction of a nuclear waste repository near Ignace in northwestern Ontario. What are some of the risks of burying nuclear waste? How is Canada’s industrial sector presenting nuclear waste and nuclear waste management to the public and does this image hold? What is the historical context of nuclear energy production and waste management in Canada?  How do you build a broad-based collective opposition movement to a large-scale industrial project threatening the environment and Indigenous lands? From the early days of anti-nuclear activism in Canada and We the Nuclear Free North to the industrial technicians of pro-nuclear ideological optics and the colossus of industrial energy, Kiegan Irish, Alex Boos, and Brennain Lloyd explore such questions and more! Thank you immensely to Brennain for sharing your time, knowledge and expertise. A big thank you to Jacob Irish for postproduction and to our listeners for tuning in.

    AND WE ARE BACK! Back with a new name and back with a new episode, back-to-back, and today’s all about settlers and Land Back. In this episode, Kiegan Irish and Alex Boos explore a variety of questions about the nature of settler subjectivity, its transformability, and ways to theorize settler solidarity politics with Indigenous Land Back struggles. From the Red Paper to Wasáse, from the Yintah to your grocery list, we weigh in on the intricacies of settler colonialism and a range of possible disruptions to it. So, sit back, stand up, run, move your body, break a window, do whatever tha fuck you wanna do as you click play, turn that volume dial up, and give it a listen.

    Community and Autonomy: Migrants in Greece

    Feeling lonely? As the first round of vaccines rolls into Canada, a yearning for the revitalization of social relations long severed and strangulated by the social distancing and confinement required to fight COVID-19 grows stronger. But what kinds of social relations are we going to build now and commit to the future? What can we build together in the face of crisis at home or abroad? In this episode, Kiegan Irish and Alex Boos are joined by friends Ryan Faulkner and Héloïse Muller to discuss how community organizing in Greece has handled one of the EU’s worst economic crises and the growing “refugee crisis” and to walk us through their experiences volunteering for autonomous zones in Greece.  Donate to Khora here: https://www.khora-athens.org/donate

    Post-Capitalist Desire: Mark Fisher 2020 Vision

    Seven months into the global pandemic, Kiegan Irish and Alex Boos revisit one of Mark Fisher’s papers called “Post-Capitalist Desire.” At a time when societal collapse, economic recession, world-historical crises, homelessness, unemployment and fascist tendencies are on the rise, we believe it is crucial to think about the situation of the political left in public discourse and how it is taking shape today. What could a post-capitalist world look like? How do we think through capitalism to its end and beyond in the settler colonial context of Canada? In what ways are Fisher’s reflections on the challenges the political left faces adaptable to our lives today? How have things changed and what are some ways that we can fight for a better future together? From Occupy to #WetsuwetenStrong, new Left media to fashion and music, we explore all of these questions and more! Special thanks goes to Jacob Irish for his fine-ass editing and postproduction work! Thank you to our listeners for joining us.
