    The Proletariat Lariat Ep 26 "Factionalism is Good Actually"

    The normal pod crew assembles together once again for your regular show. This week we return to talk about what it means to stand in solidarity with Gisele Shaw & trans wrestlers and how the old guard too often gets a pass while they alienate others. We also spend our time diving deeper into why lack of accountability plans & conflict resolution might pave the way for CM Punk's return to fail, and our main topic of how factions in and outside the ring can be good for all. Thanks for listening and spread the word of our podcast to all of your friends!

    The Proletariat Lariat Bonus Episode 'BDS Interview w/ MJ'

    In a bit of a departure from our regular format we welcomed guest MJ to our show for a very important interview regarding some of the most recent work from the Democratic Socialists of America's BDS/Palestine Solidarity Working Group. MJ discusses with us some of the WG's most recent campaigns as well as how they hope to raise the political consciousness within the United States socialist movement when it comes to placing a greater priority on Palestinian solidarity. If you are curious about their work we encourage you to check their stuff out further @DSA_Palestine on twitter. And their most recent statement regarding Los Angeles City council-member Nithya Raman here https://medium.com/@dsapalestinesolidarity/socialists-dont-enable-zionism-e89f7d79b85b

    The Proletariat Lariat Ep 25 "The Long Convention"

    The normal pod crew assembles together once again for your biweekly regular show. On today's episode we take a bit of a deep dive into the controversy surrounding Riho's twitter deactivation and the online bullying campaign that accompanied it. We talk about what it means to be a public figure and how important it is to take care of your mental health when in the public eye whether as a professional wrestler or as an organizer. We then go on to discuss all of the hype heading into Wrestlemania in the next couple weeks and how WWE has handled the unplanned rise of Sami Zayn amidst the very much planned coronation of Cody Rhodes. We juxtapose Wrestlemania with annual organizing conventions and how putting so much pressure onto one big event can make it difficult to be able to make any last minute adjustments. Thanks for listening and spread the word of our podcast to all of your friends!

    The pod with special guest Ariadne (@shardsambit) discusses the life and legacy of Billy Two Rivers, in and out of the ring; how @takesoup handles the haters with class and why American neckbeards hate Japanese women wrestlers; and the third topic which dives into coalition building and how important it is within the organizing world as well as in the professional wrestling industry.

    The Proletariat Lariat Ep 23 "Puff Puff Pass Rumble"

    New year, new pod! We have nearly all hands on deck; Zach was too busy getting 4th place on her Tuesday Trivia Night when we recorded. The crew talks Wrestle Kingdom 17, what was great about, what to watch if you've never watched New Japan Pro Wrestling, why Mercedes Mone is more unlikely sign with AEW, and why CB and Maria want the entire roster of STARDOM to step on them. That and more!

    The Proletariat Lariat Ep 22 "2022: The Year of the Scissor"

    Brawl Out, Vince Out, Scissoring Out; the year of 2022 was a lot for the Pro Wrestling Industry. For our last episode of the year, we have the entire Proletariat Lariat podcast crew to discuss moments that have stuck out for us.  We then reflect on what lessons could be learned and how they apply to our own organizing in left spaces. Finally we look to the new year to what lies in the horizon for 2023 in the world of pro-wrestling.  We'd like to thank everyone who has listened to the podcast for our first year, anyone who became or were a patron on patreon, and especially thank all the guests who came on the pod!
