Mother Country Radicals
Zayd Dohrn was born underground - his parents were radicals and counter-culture outlaws, on the run from the FBI. Now Zayd takes us back to the 1970s, when his parents and their young friends in the Weather Underground Organization declared war on the United States government. They brawled with riot cops on the streets of Chicago, bombed the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol, broke comrades out of prison, and teamed up with Black militant groups to rob banks, fight racism - and help build a revolution.

A story that needs telling
8월 24일
This podcast is one of the very best I’ve had the privilege of listening to. As a mother and so-called radical, this story hit me like a gut punch—especially when hearing from the children of the revolutionaries. Especially well-done in its nuanced approach to issues of race, revolutionary action, and relationships. This story is timely, thoughtful, and engaging. I’m filled with gratitude to the creators and the participants. Thank you for putting this out into the world. I’d be thrilled to read more and/or see a documentary from the creators!
Reminds me of my father

What a great show, it brought back so many memories. My father worked for the “Citizens Action Committee”, he helped poor people of all races to get housing and jobs in the late 60s early 70s. He was also from Chicago and was familiar with some of the revolutionary people spoken about in this podcast. When I was a child he had a sticker that said “impeach Nixon”, I was too young to know what it meant. Thank you for this wonderful podcast, it’s a reminder we are still in the fight.
Excellent show
