Today, Hunter sat down with Nick Barber, author of a recent piece in the magazine In These Times called “In Small-Town Georgia, A Broken Taillight Can Lead to Spiraling Debt”. In his investigation and writing, Nick uncovered a corrupt private probation system that keeps people under control of the state for years in what appears to be an effort to generate revenue for Clayton, Georgia and for the company. As is so often the case, Nick highlights the story of two poor people who lives were upended by this abusive system of debt, and it is clear throughout the work that at no point in time did the city ask, “Does this actually improve public safety?” From this episode, Hunter hopes you are able to walk away with a better understanding of the insidious ways in which we have forced small towns around the country have trapped countless Americans in a cycle of poverty through the crushing force of the criminal legal system.

In the newest episode of the RevDem Rule of Law podcast, assistant editor Gaurav Mukherjee talks to Nick Barber to discuss democratic backsliding in the UK, the role of courts in protecting democratic procedures, and the state of Parliamentary Sovereignty in the face of Brexit and COVID-19. Nick Barber is Professor of Constitutional Law and Theory at the University of Oxford, and a non-practicing barrister and member of Middle Temple. His published work includes The Constitutional State in 2011, Principles of Constitutionalism in 2018, and The United Kingdom Constitution in 2021. He was founding editor of the UK Constitutional Law Blog, and he was a co-author with Jeff King and Tom Hickman of the blog post that sparked the litigation in Miller.

One of the key roles of constitutional law is to provide a strong underpinning for human rights protections. But what role do human rights play in building robust democratic institutions? Are human rights an aspect of democratic politics, or a precursor? And what happens to human rights protections when democratic backsliding begins to occur? This episode looks at these questions with expert practitioners and theorists in constitutional and human rights law.With Kate O'Regan, Nick Barber and Richard Ekins.

"It is easy to make excuses when we ought to be making opportunities" - Warren W WiersbeThere are no shortage of excuses to let our praise be dampened. Opposition and difficulty don't always mean we're on the wrong path.

And what would it look like to, in those moments, praise and worship Him all the more? Join us as pastor Nick Barber shares with us why choosing to draw closer to God during these times can sometimes result in unexpectedly beautiful blessing.

On this interview episode, Andy and Derek talk with Joe Keatinge and Nick Barber, the creators behind the new Image series, Ringside. The first issue will be released this week, and so the guys wanted to get the lowdown on what promises to be a fascinating and different title. Joe gets things rolling by laying down the premise of the first narrative arc, introducing us to Danny Knossos, the once-famous wrestler called Minotaur. In classic noir fashion, the protagonist in this first issue returns to the old haunts from his past to help out a friend in trouble, and in doing so inadvertently becomes embroiled in a darker world that he had thought he had put behind him. This is more than a mere wrestling story, Nick and Joe explain. It's a brooding, crime-infused drama that bumps up against the world of professional wrestling. What's more, the series will have an ensemble cast, giving us shifting focal characters and rotating perspectives so as to flesh out a larger and more haunting landscape. The creators also describe how they met one another and how the idea for Ringside came about. They discuss their working relationship, the division of creative labor, and the history behind pitching the story to Image. In fact, Derek and Andy really don't have to do much during this interview. They ask a few questions to get things started, and then Joe and Nick take it from there with their own stories, turning parts of the interview into a personal back-and-forth of a couple of guys catching up. And that's part of The Comics Alternative is all about, isn't it: bringing people together through comics?

Today we have Greg's interviews from last week's New York Comic Con. Things kick off with writer/editor/Valkyrie Katy Rex. Katy is working on Strange Wit, a graphic novel about the life & works of writer Jane Bowles. They talk about that, her multitude of other works, and just what it means to be a Valkyrie in today's comics climate. Next comes artist Nilah Magruder. Winner of the inaugural Dwayne McDuffie Diversity Award earlier this year, Nilah is the cartoonist behind the webcomic M.F.K.. They chat a little bit about her approach to the comic as well as the new picture book she's working on for 2016. Keep checking back at Multiversity Comics for an more in-depth interview with Nilah in the coming days. Following that Greg checks in with Leila del Duca and Joe Keatinge of “Shutter”, delving into some process talk with Leila and getting some lowdown on Joe's upcoming Image book Ringside with Nick Barber. Plus, Greg takes the opportunity to pick his brain on the just-announced Moebius Library and what we might be seeing from that Dark Horse project. And finally, things wrap up with a talk with writer Alex Simmons and Joseph Illidge. Simmons' work on the comic “Blackjack” has been brought back into print by Dover Graphic Novels, and we get a chance to hear from the writer himself about why writing the adventures of a 1930's African-American soldier of fortune with a conscience is still relevant in 2015. Robots From Tomorrow is a weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth's surface. You can subscribe to it via iTunes or through the RSS feed at RobotsFromTomorrow.com. You can also follow Mike and Greg on Twitter. This episode is brought to you by Third Eye Comics. Enjoy your funny books.

This week, we're happy to welcome the writer of Shutter and Ringside, Joe Keatinge, along with the respective artists of those two series, Leila del Duca and Nick Barber! We talk about wrestling lingo, shooting down NPR commenters, our favorite bad gimmicks, the rights of ninja ghosts, and much more! Plus, new entries to the Word Heavyweight Champions list!
