June 11th is the international day of solidarity with Marius Mason and all long-term anarchist prisoners. This year we want to explore the connections between long-term prisoner support and anti-repression efforts around recent uprisings, a sharp reminder to us that the difference between a status of imprisoned or not is often tenuous and temporary. With thousands of arrests for protesting, rioting, and property destruction from last summer's George Floyd uprising, we must be preparing for the possibility that more of our friends and other rebels may end up in prison. We're also seeking to find ways to facilitate interactions between our long-term prisoners and uprisings in the streets. We were happy to share the production of this episode with the lovely folks at June11.Org. To this end, we speak with: Cameron and Veera, who are part of a group that have been supporting prisoners from the Ferguson uprising for the last 7 years; Earthworm from Atlanta Solidarity Fund and ATL jail support ; Jeremy Hammond, formerly incarcerated anarchist and hacktivist, and his twin brother, Jason Hammond, who works with the Chicago Community Bond Fund. They produce the podcast, TwinTrouble They share with us their experiences with state repression, what motivates them, and some thoughts on what we can be doing to make us, our communities, and our liberatory movements more resilient. The speakers responded to questions in the same order throughout the conversation but didn't identify themselves much, so remember that the order and the projects they're involved in can be found in our show notes. You can learn more about Marius Mason and how to support him at SupportMariusMason.org. You can see past podcasts by June 11th, prisoner statements, artwork, info about the prisoners supported by the effort, a mix-tape they curated last year and events listed for various cities you can join at June11.org. We're releasing this audio before June 11th to entice folks to consider a potluck, an action, a letter writing event, a banner drop, a postering rampage or something to share the day with folks behind walls. Hear our past June 11 episodes here. You can also hear the June 11th statement for this year alongside other info on prisoner support from comrades at A-Radio Vienna in the May 2021 BadNews podcast!

Fundraising for Sean Swain Parole Sean Swain is fighting to be paroled after 30 years in prison and 316 podcast segments. You can find more about how to support his efforts here: https://www.anarchistfederation.net/sean-swain-is-up-for-parole/ David Easley needs help Comrade David Easley, A306400 at the Toledo Correctional Institution, who has in previous months been viciously assaulted by prison staff at the direction of the ToCI Warden Harold May, as well as number of other inmates also who have been isolated for torture and other oppressive, covert, and overt retaliatory actions at that facility, denied adequate medical care for speaking out against the cruel, inhumane treatment at that Ohio facility. More and more comrades are reporting occurring throughout the ODRC, and across this country for any who dare stand up and speak up for themselves, and the voiceless within the steel and concrete walls. This is a CALL TO ACTION to zap the phone at the U.S. District Court in Toledo, Ohio and demand that Comrade David Easley be granted a phone conference with Judge James R. Knepp II, and the Attorney General because Comrade Easley's lawyer of record has decided to go rogue by not filing a Memorandum Contra Motion as his client requested and now the State has presented a Motion to Dismiss his case to that court. Plaintiff: David Easley, A306400 Case No: 3:18-CV-02050 Presiding Judge: James R. Knepp II Courtroom Clerk: Jennifer Smith Phone No: (419) 213-5571 Also, reach out to Comrade Easley using the contact info he like many of our would appreciate the concerns, and love from us on the outside to stay the course, and not get discouraged in his Daily Struggle. David Easley #A306400 Toledo CI PO Box 80033 Toledo, OH 43608 Fundraiser for David Anarchist Bank Robber and Prisoner, Giannis Dimitrakis Healing from Attack the following was received from comrades at 1431 AM in Thessaloniki, Greece, a fellow member of the A-Radio Network. We had hoped to feature an interview they would facilitate with Giannis Dimitrakis for June 11th, however you'll see why this hasn't been possible. We hope he heals up quickly and would love to air that interview for the Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners in August: On 24/5, our comrade, a political prisoner, the anarchist Giannis Dimitrakis was transported to the hospital of Lamia, seriously injured after the murderous attack he suffered in Domokou prison. G. Dimitrakis barely survived the the attack, and the blows he received caused multiple hematomas in the head, affecting basic functions of his brain. A necessary condition for the full recovery of the partner is the complete and continuous monitoring of him in a specialized rehabilitation center by specialist doctors and therapists. In this crucial condition, the murderous bastards of the New Democracy government, M. Chrysochoidis, Sofia Nikolaou and their subordinates decide on Thursday June 3rd to transfer Giannis back to Domokos prison and even to a solitary confinement cell, supposedly for his health. Transferring our comrade there, with his brain functions in immediate danger, is for us a second attempt to kill him. Domokos prison does not meet in the slightest the conditions for the treatment and recovery of a prisoner in such a serious condition. Αs a solidarity movement in general, we are again determined not to leave our comrade's armor in their blood-stained hands. Nothing should be left unanswered, none of the people in charge of the ever-intensifying death policy that they unleash should be left out of our sights. Immediate transfer of our partner to a specialized rehabilitation center Hands down from political prisoners Solidarity and strength to the anarchist fighter G. Dimitrakis This is an invitation to engage June 11 in solidarity with Giannis Dimitrakis. On June 9th there will be a solidarity demo in Exarchia, Athens at 7pm! . ... . ..

22 August: On today's show we wrap-up a hectic fortnight of sport as Niall, Sinead, Steve and Eoin Lúc recount their highs and lows of Rio 2016. We look back at the best performances, the biggest disappointments and our new favourite sports that we won't see again for another four years.
19 August: On today's episode, Niall joins us from Rio to talk about a fantastic performance from Thomas Barr in the final of the 400m hurdles. We also look at Bolt's last individual Olympic race, and ahead to the golfers and walkers in action today.
16 August: On today's show we analyse Katie Taylor's shock defeat yesterday, from the loss of key figures in her corner to overly-ambitious expectations. We also look ahead to our last boxer, Michael Conlan, who will fight an old nemesis later today. Annalise Murphy's medal race yesterday was delayed , and if it is delayed again, Murphy will automatically win the bronze. Sinead spent yesterday with Murphy's family, who almost had to leave the party. And finally we will look at French pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie who bizarrely compared himself to Jesse Owens after losing yesterday, to much criticism. Hotline Rings is now available on iTunes, where you can subscribe to get all the latest episodes.

We also look ahead to big days for Ireland's women: Judy Reynolds, Sara Treacy, Annalise Murphy and Katie Taylor.
Meet Jill and August Wheeler, van-lifin', mountain bikin', beer drinkin' Idahoans with adventurous dreams of traveling the world while giving us all much needed trail and travel advice and inspiration. Brand new to full-timing, these two didn't hesitate to quit their jobs, jump behind the wheel of their van, and hightail it out of Idaho to explore the world. It was a warm sunny day at Lake Guntersville State Park, when I glanced out the window of RAIF and noticed that we had new neighbors. Were they weekenders or were they here for the now-cancelled-RVE Summit? With Idaho plates, they had to be some of our peeps, and that they were. From the moment we said hey (say hi to strangers), we were in love. Like so many people we have connected with on the road, we knew immediately we would be drinking with these two around many a camp-fires. Little did we know we would also be dancing with them, riding bikes with them, and planning trips with them. When you meet a couple like Jill and August, you are immediately inspired to get your ass off the couch, grab your skis or boards or bikes or whatever it is that makes you move, and move. Riding in blue jeans, racing in high school, using Clorox wipes before it was a necessity, camping in tents, braving tornadoes, traveling the world, owning a brewery, building out a van - twice, and working in health care - Uh, these two are our heroes. We want to be them when we grow up. *Idaho in the house!* ---------------------------- Connect with Jill and August ---------------------------- * On their website at OutsideNomad.com ( https://www.outsidenomad.com/ ) * On Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/outsidenomad/ ) * On Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/outsidenomad/ ) ---------------------- Oh the places we went! ---------------------- * Back Forty Beer Company ( https://www.backfortybeer.com/ ) - Gadsden, AL * Yellowhammer Brewing ( https://www.yellowhammerbrewery.com/ ) - Huntsville, AL * Straight to Ale ( https://straighttoale.com/ ) - Huntsville, AL * Little Island Brewing Co ( http://libc.co/ ) - Singapore --------------------- Oh the beer we drank! --------------------- * Sierra Nevada * Yellowhammer Black Lager * Yellowhammer Belgian White * Back Forty Freckle Belly IPA * Back Forty BamaMosa Bière de Champagne / Bière Brut ---------------------- Oh the trails we rode! ---------------------- * Squamish Mountain Biking Trails ( https://www.trailforks.com/region/squamish/ ) - Vancouver, British Columbia * Coconino National Forest ( https://www.trailforks.com/region/sedona/ ) - Sedona, AZ * Lake Guntersville State Park ( https://www.alapark.com/parks/lake-guntersville-state-park ) - Guntersville, AL * Huntsville, AL trails ( https://www.trailforks.com/region/huntsville-1239/ ) * Noccalula Park ( https://www.trailforks.com/region/huntsville-1239/ ) - Gadsden, AL ---------- Resources: ---------- * Dogfish Head ( https://www.dogfish.com/#fishgate-dialog ) was mentioned as an influential brewery.
