    Ep03 The Prophetic Pop Life of Prince w Professor C. Liegh McInnis

    Jackson State University professor of English, author of “the Lyrics of Prince,” C. Leigh McInnis connects the literary genius and import of LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka) to the lyrical/musical genius and socio-political impact of Prince. Two progressive Prince disciples nerd-out on the piercingly conscientious lyrics of the leader of the 1980s anti-Reagan Revolution, one of the pantheon of musicians who inspired the congressional Parental Music Resource Center (PMRC), which devised the policy of labeling albums with Parental Advisory Stickers. Celebrating Prince’s trailblazing life of controversy, professor McInnis and I cut into as many pieces of the Prince pie as is possible during one podcast, using Prince as a lens to critically understand the 80s and 90s specifically, African American history more broadly, as well as the future of US race relations and how anti-racist whites can work to defeat systemic racism by understanding & supporting Black self-determination & Black sovereignty.

    Fishin' 4 Democracy with Professor Pete Knutson

    From the heart of America's most popular anarchist jurisdiction since the WTO protests in 1999, we pry into the mind of an anarchist who blows minds for a living! On episode 2, “Fishin’ 4 democracy”, with the chair of anthropology at Seattle Central College, owner of LokiFish.com & lifelong activist, Professor Pete Knutson. Joins us for a riveting conversation about his journey, since his earliest activism as a high schooler protesting the Vietnam War to today. Pete’s unrelenting quest for truth in a country enmeshed in Team Sports politics and his commitment to working class values has comforted the afflicted & afflicted the comfortable his whole life. As high as the stakes are for voting out the “neofascist catastrophe” Trump in a few weeks, Professor Pete reminds us that we must not relent in our fight for progress when we elect the “Neoliberal disaster” (to quote @brothercornelwest) to replace him. Join us for the anarchist analysis, from our anarchist jurisdiction in Queens to Pete’s in Seattle for all the punk rock fun!
