On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from author and educator Max Haiven speaking on the book : Revenge Capitalism The Ghosts of Empire, the Demons of Capital, and the Settling of Unpayable Debts. The book is described this way: "Capitalism is in a profound state of crisis. Beyond the mere dispassionate cruelty of ‘ordinary' structural violence, it appears today as a global system bent on reckless economic revenge; its expression found in mass incarceration, climate chaos, unpayable debt, pharmaceutical violence and the relentless degradation of common life. In Revenge Capitalism, Max Haiven argues that this economic vengeance helps us explain the culture and politics of revenge we see in society more broadly. Moving from the history of colonialism and its continuing effects today, he examines the opioid crisis in the US, the growth of ‘surplus populations' worldwide and unpacks the central paradigm of unpayable debts – both as reparations owed, and as a methodology of oppression." https://www.plutobooks.com/product/revenge-capitalism This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear reflections and contemporary ideas from Emma Feltes, who articulates a legal framing for understanding Canada as unceded territories. This perspective is particularly important in the context of understanding the territorial realities of lands and waterways that today are at the heart of the major national development projects that the current Liberal government of PM Mark Carney is pushing. This is a critical voice of context on the territorial realities on this point.

On this edition of Cultural workers for Palestine I feature different content from the usual broadcast, focusing on the mobilizations for Palestine that took place in Belém, Brazil during the COP30 UN summit on climate that took place in Belém, Brazil. As there is a stunning amount of creativity that goes into the thinking, organizing and actions within such institutional spaces which are often cold, or openly hostile to addressing the voices of peoples and struggles that are marginalized. Badra speaks about the on-the-ground alliances between Palestinian activists and Indigenous people in Brazil, both involved in critical struggles for land rights. Also Badra speaks about the ways that the climate justice struggle and the Palestinian struggle are critically interwoven at this time.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from photographer Mahmoud Khattab, who reflects on Egypt today. Mahmoud has recently published a beautiful photo book, that also includes some writing, which is drawn from Mahmoud's experiences as a conscript in the Egyptian army. Mahmoud subtly documented his experiences in Egypt, facing conscription time, through a set of intimate and beautiful photographs. The book is described this way: "The Dog Sat Where We Parted is a photography book: a visual narrative of my time in conscription as I venture into the desert as a soldier with a dog, a head shaved and a camouflage that appealed to sand. Questioning times of following orders and sharing a plate and a story with strangers who dressed and shaved their heads just like me. Through photographs discretely taken together with journal writings, I echoed my solitude as I pay my debt to a country with servitude of my body and time."

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear about the Tasmanian Palestine Advocacy Network. This interview highlights the wide geographical scope where meaningful Palestine solidarity work is happening in the face of genocide in Gaza. This interview also meaningfully addresses the critical importance of understanding both the interconnections and need for solidarity across borders between anti colonial struggles in the context of both Australia and Palestine.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from musician Richard Skelton who shares reflections on both the creative process surrounding a four part soundscape and music project called Imperial Valley. The project is connected to a set of photos taken in California during the Great Depression, one of the largest periods of internal economic migration in the United States.
