Green & Red: Podcasts for Scrappy Radicals Green and Red

In this special cross-podcast episode, Bob and Scott talk with the host of the anarchist podcast Coffee with Comrades (@coffeewcomrades) about street organizing-- the history of it, the current politics around it and the mechanics of how to do it.  We also go a bit into the history of the Green and Red Podcast, how Bob and Scott met, campaigns we organized and how we decided to start your favorite podcast. 
This is our first cross-promotional episode, and we were really excited to join Coffee with Comrades.

In this episode, we get into the legacies of Columbus and America's  genocide of Indigenous people with Prof. Michael Oberg (@nativeamtext),  the larger problems of the way Native American History is taught, and  why a 1619 Project is needed for American Indians too.

We start off with a clip from the Sopranos highlighting the conflict in the Italian-American community over Columbus Day. And then we deep dive into Indigenous Peoples' Day, the cultural impact of America's genocide, the Indian Wars and violence in the U.S. historical narrative. We also talk about whether cultural gains (things like tearing down Columbus statues, changing sports team names, etc.) will result in material gains (economics, health care, etc) for Native Americans, Ruth Bader  Ginsburg and the epidemic of police murder of Indigenous people.   

Michael Oberg is Distinguished Professor of  History at SUNY-Geneseo. The author of seven books on Native American history, Oberg received a SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in  Teaching in 2003 and a Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship  in 2013.

COVID-19 Rocks the White House!  In our latest episode, we get into the news of the past week with  journalist and author Paul Street (@Streetwriter17).

We also discuss Paul's new  book, "Hollow Resistance: Obama, Trump, and the Politics of  Appeasement."

Over 200,000 Americans have died from Covid-19. That number is expected to double in the next few months. The Trump Administration continues to put out misinformation about vaccines and tests the idea of "herd mentality" (we think he meant "herd immunity") as the only real solution. 
In this episode, we dive into these issues and more with returning guest Prof. Sarah Koster (@NotSoNormalNaCl) from Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, CA. 
We also talk reproductive health politics around Trump's supreme court nominee and the forced hysterectomies being carried out in ICE detention centers.
Sarah is a Family Nurse Practitioner and also has Masters in Public Health from the University of Washington in Seattle. Sarah worked in research and program evaluation for about 7 years with the Infectious Disease Division at the University of New Mexico Medical School and completed a fellowship in Infectious Disease Epidemiology with the University of Alabama at Birmingham while living in Southern Africa.
She teaches Community Health at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, CA and is committed to involving students in conversations about the importance of structural determinants of health including how capitalism and various existing political systems, in the US and globally, continue to negatively affect health outcomes.

In our latest episode, we talk with author of Against the Fascist Creep Alexander Reid Ross  (@areidross) about America's history of political violence and the right wing creep in the  United States. From slave patrols to far right groups protesting COVID19 mask  requirements and attacking Black Lives Matter protests today, America  has a long history of political violence. Much of the deadliest has been  carried out by forces of reaction and racism (i.e. right-wingers).  We  talk about the history of right wing violence,  how it compares with movements on the left, current dynamics around  militia groups, influences of Trump and the rise of eco-fascists.    

Alexander Reid Ross is an adjunct professor of geography at Portland  State University, a doctoral fellow with the Centre for Analysis of the  Radical Right and author of “Against the Fascist Creep.”
