    Those Labors Dreamt: The American Demise of the First International

    The World's Fair came to Philadelphia in 1876 to celebrate the rise of global capitalism. But during the heat of the festivities, a group of men gathered in mourning, foreclosing on the possibility of a globalized labor party. In this podcast, we'll examine the ignoble death of the First International Workingmen's Association in Philadelphia. You'll hear about the philosophical clash between anarchists and communists, the shift of the First International to the American continent, and meet some of the more interesting American rabble rousers running around during the 19th century.

    Angel Fire - Korean Americans in the LA Riots, Chapter 4: KOREAN AMERICA

    In this final chapter of Angel Fire, we talk about the tensions following the riot and the fate of a few of our characters. And because this podcast was recorded in 2020, we talk about how race riots can be averted before they start by consulting Angela Oh directly, as well as a pair of activists working in the trenches. We discuss the importance of emotion and education in forestalling the worst and end on a high note, the birth of a new Korean American nation within the United States.

    Angel Fire - Korean Americans in the LA Riots, Chapter 3: K-TOWN

    The riots have begun and in this third chapter of the Angel Fire podcast series, you'll hear about the incredible violence visited on the Korean American community in LA. This podcast will center on Koreatown, LA, and detail the many people who tried to defend their neighborhoods and make peace in the midst of conflict. We talk about the media treatment of Korean Americans and how, when the fires die down and the riots are cover, Korean Americans are battered and bruised, but also perhaps ready for a political awakening. Join us for Chapter 4: Korean America, in a few weeks, where we'll examine the long term consequences of the riots.
