James is on personal leave this week, so we're bringing you a special recording from October 2024: the book launch of From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire by Sarah Jaffe. Find the full episode at patreon.com/Macrodose. Grief is everywhere in today's world, yet even in our movement spaces, it's often a topic left unspoken. As we navigate an era of intersecting crises, how can we carve out space for our essential human needs—rest, care, and time to mourn—while organising to meet the urgent challenges of our time? Sarah is an acclaimed labour journalist based in New Orleans, USA, is the best-selling author of Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion To Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone and Necessary Trouble: Americans in Revolt. This event is guest-hosted by Dalia Gebrial, Lecturer in Geography and Social Justice at King's College London, and features Camille Barbagallo and Asad Rehman - interviewees in Sarah's book, offering their powerful perspectives on grief and organising. Buy the book: From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire James will be back behind the microphone very soon, but in the meantime, we hope you enjoy this important and inspiring conversation.

Macrodose is on a winter break this week, but we're excited to share a special recording from back in May 2024: the book launch of The Exhausted of the Earth by Ajay Singh Chaudhary. This compelling conversation, hosted by Dalia Gebrial, Lecturer in Geography and Social Justice at King's College London, dives into the urgent political and scientific realities of the climate crisis. Ajay explores the bitter struggle between those clinging to the power, wealth, and security of the status quo and the rest of us—exhausted, in every sense, by “business-as-usual.” Together, they unpack the radical politics and collective power needed to navigate our burning world, moving beyond survival toward something far better.
