It's been an absolute marathon making extra episodes in the run-up to the election. Fortunately @anarchocatfan joined @truthout as a volunteer a while back, and has been rocking the show's sound quality. Shout out to my partner in crime who helps make all my work possible. 
ICYMI we started making extra episodes of Movement Memos this week because a bunch of people were asking for a follow up to this piece, and with only two episodes left before the election, we just wouldn't have had time. truthout.org/audio/searchin…
So I created this episode where I kind of walked people through a writing exercise to help them write a personal safety plan. If that sounds intimidating, remember, there's a transcript to refer to. It's just a matter of ordering your thoughts. truthout.org/audio/planning…
Then I talked to @sarahkendzior again because I've been told that our last convo was useful to folks and that they wanted to hear more. Our convos about authoritarianism and fascism also just seemed relevant. truthout.org/audio/arm-wres…
And most recently, we put together this episode where I talked about the world-building poetics of organizing. truthout.org/audio/reclaimi…
As you may have noticed, the show yoyos from episode to episode in terms of it being an interview, or something more op-ed like. I know that's not recommended. But I started the show just before COVID hit & then we suddenly lived in a different world than I'd envisioned it in.
So I just kind of winged it, continuing convos w some guests when it felt like there were whole chapters left to say. I felt like that was something people needed. Elaboration. I know a lot of organizers and plan to have a lot of them on. But I really like bringing people back.
I hope people dig how it's been coming together. I think we have made some useful things so far, and that's what matters most to me. That's my whole goal in doing this. I hope it's helpful.
