We’ll go back to convos in times of train takeovers and disruptions, like episode 28 on Demand the Impossible with Bill Ayers, recorded blocks away from where young people from Assata’s Daughters & BTGNC Collective led an action on CTA trains about the new #NoCopAcademy campaign.

Over the next several months, we’ll be revisiting some of our favorite book conversations, like episode 20 when Page sat down solo with Dr. Fannie Rushing and ended up with so many hours of tape that we had to break the episode into 5 parts!
