Podcasts about radical history

On October 26, 2025, the Sam and Esther Dolgoff Institute (SEDI) hosted historian Mark Leier for a rich and provocative discussion on Mikhail Bakunin—philosopher, agitator, exile, and one of the most misunderstood revolutionaries of the nineteenth century.Drawing on his biography Bakunin: The Creative Passion, Leier unraveled the myths that have long haunted Bakunin's reputation—from the caricature of a “prophet of destruction” to the false dichotomy between anarchism and Marxism. Through careful historical reconstruction, he showed how Bakunin's ideas on education, materialism, and the role of intellectuals anticipated later critiques of bureaucracy, vanguardism, and the professional-managerial class.Leier traced Bakunin's path from his Hegelian studies in Berlin to his clashes with Marx in the First International, revealing a thinker whose insistence on freedom, spontaneity, and working-class autonomy remains vital today. The talk also explored Bakunin's warnings about the rise of a new class of intellectuals who, under the guise of science and reason, might reproduce domination in revolutionary movements—a lesson Leier connects to contemporary politics and the recurring tension between theory and action on the left.Mark Leier is a professor of history at Simon Fraser University and the author of Bakunin: The Creative Passion (St. Martin's Press / Palgrave Macmillan), Rebel Life: The Life and Times of Robert Gosden, and Where the Fraser River Flows: The Industrial Workers of the World in British Columbia. His scholarship focuses on labor radicalism, anarchist thought, and the history of working-class resistance in North America.This event is part of SEDI's ongoing speaker series, bringing together radical historians, writers, and organizers to deepen our understanding of the past and sharpen our interventions in the present.The Sam and Esther Dolgoff Institute: https://www.dolgoffinstitute.com/Explore Mark Leier's work:Rebel Life: The Life and Times of Robert Gosden, Revolutionary, Mystic, Labour Spy - https://www.newstarbooks.com/book.php?book_id=155420058X Works at The Anarchist Library - https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/mark-leierLIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND SHARE!https://youtube.com/cyberdandySupport the showhttps://www.patreon.com/c/cyberdandySupport the show

In this SEDI session, anarchist writer and editor Iain McKay delivers a brisk, idea-dense tour of Peter Kropotkin's science, ethics, and revolutionary politics—showing how the famed geographer's fieldwork and evolutionary arguments undergird a living anarchist program.McKay (lead author of An Anarchist FAQ and editor/translator of major Kropotkin editions) threads together mutual aid, syndicalism, and council organization with Kropotkin's critiques of state socialism and “red-in-tooth-and-claw” misreadings of Darwin.He contrasts T. H. Huxley's dour view of nature with Kropotkin's empirical case that cooperation is a force in evolution, then links that insight to the ethics and strategy of class struggle. Along the way he situates key works—Modern Science and Anarchy, Mutual Aid, Fields, Factories and Workshops, The State: Its Historic Role, and The Great French Revolution—as a coherent toolbox for building working-class power outside parliament and against bureaucratic socialism.McKay also speaks from the editor's desk: he assembled the comprehensive Direct Struggle Against Capital and produced new English editions of Modern Science and Anarchy and Words of a Rebel, restoring Kropotkin's revolutionary edge against later hagiography.This event is part of the Sam and Esther Dolgoff Institute (SEDI)'s ongoing series, bringing radical thinkers, organizers, and historians to deepen our understanding of the past and sharpen our interventions in the present.The Sam and Esther Dolgoff Institute (SEDI):https://www.dolgoffinstitute.com/Explore Iain McKay's work:An Anarchist FAQ – https://www.anarchistfaq.org/Author page – https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/iain-mckay

When Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States came out in 1980, it literally rocked the boat. Instead of starting where most histories of the Americas start — on the deck of Columbus's ship as it approached land — Howard Zinn flipped the script, focusing instead on what the people standing on the shore would have seen. In this episode, we look at the ripple effects of Zinn's radical take on history. You can read a transcript of this episode on our web page.Check out our booklist with titles related to A People's History of the United States.You can find Nick Witham's book Popularizing the Past at the University of Chicago Press.Learn more about the ReVisioning History series from Beacon Press, and visit the Zinn Education Project for tons of resources for teachers and students.History books are one of the subject areas targeted for censorship right now.

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show. On today's episode: Headlines - 55 people arrested at Palestine Action group protest in London- Victoria's first Native Title claim passed in state for Millewa Mallee- Blak Up! Rest Reconnect and Organise for change. Read more about the program here. The show begins with a segment from the Women On The Line show, in which host  Xen Nhà speaks with scholar Carolyn D'Cruz and librarian and archivist Clare O'Hanlon about gender in academia and archives as well as transphobia and the 'manosphere'. The segment originally aired on the 23rd of June this year. This conversation was ahead of the pair's appearance at the Researching Our Culture talk at Victoria's premier LGBTQIA+ literature festival Q-Lit. It is important to acknowledge white supremacy's role in creating transphobia as transphobes the world over continue to react to gender diverse people as something that is new and generational, rather than simply a set of identities which has always existed, the history of which is being erased by colonial projects. As such, this conversation of preserving gender identities within archives is hugely important. Women On The Line airs from 8:30 to 9 on Monday mornings. To listen to the full conversation click here and more from the amazing Women On The Line crew go to 3cr.org.au/womenonthelineFollowing that we hear  an excerpt from the latest episode of the Peoples History of Australia podcast titled 'Resistance on the line: the radical history of telephone operators'. The episode features a conversation between host Christian and librarian, union activist and historian Jeff Rickertt about the fascinating history of the telephonists. The excerpt we are about to play covers the history of the telephonist profession, how it became deliberately feminized, and the formation of the continent's first telephonist union the women's telephone attendants association in 1907.

See event page for details here. Audio from the Converge On Canberra rally which began yesterday -- a coordinated action in which grassroots solidarity groups from across the continent protested outside the federal parliament ahead of the opening of the 28th Parliament. On Saturday, a group of staunch activists sprayed red paint on the Australian-American memorial known as 'the eagle'in protest of the complicity that the two governments have in genocide against Palestinians. After spraying the memorial, a wreath was laid in memorial of all those killed by Israeli Occupational Forces, who are funded and armed by the Australian and America governments. Sunday's actions saw a rally outside Federal Parliament before a march to the Israeli embassy. Today's focus will be a national planning day for the movement and Tuesday will see another rally noutside the Parliament as it opens again. We hear three speches from:Shovan Battari, Amal Naser - Palestine Action Group Sydney NSW - and Leah House - Ngunnawal and Ngambri Sovereign person opening the rally.                      Muntaser Musameh - Palestinian Australian Cardiologist ACT The Monday Breakfast show also spoke with Sarah Baarini from Sanction Israel Now live at the Converge on Canberra on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land. The show ends with a live cross at the picket at the North Melbourne Public Housing Towers, where work was set to resume with residents still inside. Through community action, work for the day was ceased with workers told to go home. Songs played: - Let Love Rule - Archie Roach.                              

Final part of a three week session on Irish radical and working class history, that was held in the Spark in Phibsboro in April. The main theme today is the “social question” and what that meant in terms of Irish radicalism in the 19th century.It brings up writers such as Agnes Henry, Anna Doyle Wheeler, Bronterre O'Brien, William Sharman Crawford, and Eleanor Marx.More details and links to works by these writers can be found at conor-mccabe.com.

Third of four recordings made in the Spark, Phibsboro, in April 2025, dealing with Irish radical and working class history. Topics in this episode include Repeal and Chartism, Daniel O'Connell as a 19th century neoliberal, and working class resistance to the extractive, colonial, mode of production.

Liverpool's modern history is one of struggle, adversity and community and today we hear from David Swift, author of Scouse Republic: An alternative history of Liverpool. In the 1980s the city was in deep economic decline from its Victorian heyday as one of the world's busiest ports. Liverpool's radical identity was forged by the ideological battles of the decade and from the predations of Margaret Thatcher's Tory government and its supporters in the press, namely the Sun Newspaper. *****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

On the anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting, we reflect on the legacy of queer resistance—from medical torture disguised as treatment to the state-sanctioned violence that sparked the Stonewall Uprising. This episode uncovers the sanitized history of Pride and centers the voices so often erased: trans women of color, sex workers, street kids, and the criminalized. Before Pride was a parade, it was a rebellion led by those with nothing left to lose. Their fight wasn't for acceptance—it was for survival.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Sep 10, 2020 In this episode, Breht sits down with historian Johanna Fernández, author of The Young Lords: A Radical History, to explore one of the most militant and visionary revolutionary groups of the 20th century. We trace the origins of the Young Lords from street gang to revolutionary cadre, their Marxist-Leninist politics, their grassroots organizing in poor Puerto Rican and Black neighborhoods, and their fierce fight against racism, colonialism, police violence, and capitalism itself. Dr. Fernández brings deep archival research and firsthand insight into how this organization fused theory and practice, turning the politics of the lumpen and working class into revolutionary power. This is a history not just to remember—but to learn from and build upon.

In our latest installment of Step Off! Radio, Stacey Uy of the Radical History Club returns to discuss her role as the founder, researcher, writer, and illustrator of the series. And discuss its humble origins, as well as what drove her to spotlight understudied historical legacies. We also discuss the importance of curating a curriculum for students that not only challenges false narratives but centers communities that have traditionally been marginalized and ignored in U.S. history books. Lastly, we also discuss how her research methodology has changed since first starting the series in 2019, and what the future hold for The Radical History Club.

With summer upon us, it's worth reflecting on one of beachgoers' favourite items. The bikini may be small, but it has a fairly large and radical history dating back to the anti-nuclear movement in the 1940s. And deciding to put it on today, for some, can still be radical, too. Angela Barnett, a writer and body-positivity campaigner based in Auckland, tells Mark Leishman about what she calls "a protest in three small triangles".

Joe Penny, Lecturer in Global Urbanism at the UCL Urban Laboratory in London, talks with Álvaro Sevilla-Buitrago about his alternative history of capitalist urbanization through the lens of the commons. Against the Commons underscores how urbanization shapes the social fabric of places and territories, lending awareness to the impact of planning and design initiatives on working-class communities and popular strata. Projecting history into the future, it outlines an alternative vision for a postcapitalist urban planning, one in which the structure of collective spaces is defined by the people who inhabit them. Álvaro Sevilla Buitrago is Associate Professor of Planning History and Theory, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (http://multipliciudades.org/). Blending critical spatial theory and urban history, his research traces the role of planning in the genealogy of capitalist territorial formations, understanding it as a device for the dispossession and reconfiguration of autonomous modes of social reproduction. This interview is a part of the 2023 Festival of Urbanism Book Club Podcast series

One might assume abortion has always been a hot-button topic in American politics since the Supreme Court ruling legalizing it in 1973. But that is not the case. The US pro-life movement was so non-robust for many years that by 1987, abortion was not even one of the top 10 issues for American voters. Then suddenly, in ABC's 1988 election exit poll, abortion had shot to the number one issue for voters. What made abortion into a political litmus test so suddenly? Operation Rescue was what happened. Little remembered now, OR was, believe it or not, the largest civil disobedience in American history. Between 1987 and 1994, about 75,000 pro-life activists were arrested for peacefully interfering with abortion clinic operations - that's ten times more people arrested than in the entire civil rights movement. And though Operation Rescue quickly fizzled out in 1994 because of the Clinton administration's FACE Act (recently used to prosecute Mark Houck), it gave the pro-life movement the jump-start it needed to get us to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Arguably, were it not for Operation Rescue, the U.S. would be much like Europe, with even anti-abortion conservatives more or less accepting it as the "law of the land", and little political will to fight it. It is a great honor, then, to have the founder of Operation Rescue on the Catholic Culture Podcast. Randall Terry, who ran OR for its first few years and was arrested 50 times for his pro-life activism, is producing a documentary series, Dragonslayers, which will tell the history of OR using many hours of amazing footage that exists from the time. He is currently raising funds so that the series can be made. Randall joins the show to talk about OR and its decisive role in the history of the pro-life movement, the need for direct action in the pro-life cause today, and the political tools that will be indispensable for ending abortion in all 50 states - which he calls Randall's Rules for Righteous Revolution.

Characterized by shared, self-managed access to food, housing, and basic conditions for a creative life, the commons are essential for communities to flourish and protect spaces of collective autonomy from capitalist encroachment. In a narrative spanning more than three centuries, Against the Commons: A Radical History of Urban Planning (University of Minnesota Press, 2022) provides a radical counter history of urban planning that explores how capitalism and spatial politics have evolved to address this challenge. Highlighting episodes from preindustrial England, New York City and Chicago between the 1850s and the early 1900s, Weimar-era Berlin, and neoliberal Milan, Álvaro Sevilla-Buitrago shows how capitalist urbanization has eroded the egalitarian, convivial life-worlds around the commons.  In this episode, channel host Tayeba Batool talks with Dr. Álvaro Sevilla-Buitrago on the book's argument about the ways through which urbanization shapes the social fabric of places and territories. The conversation touches upon the impact of planning and design initiatives on working-class communities and popular strata, and the various, multiple, and incremental modes of dispossession that are implicated in struggles over land, shared resources, public space, neighborhoods, creativity, and spatial imaginaries. We hear from Dr. Sevilla-Buitrago about the possibilities and alternates to a post-capitalist urban planning, one in which the structure of collective spaces is ultimately defined by the people who inhabit them.

In a narrative spanning more than three centuries, Against the Commons: A Radical History of Urban Planning (University of Minnesota Press, 2022) provides a radical counter history of urban planning that explores how capitalism and spatial politics have evolved to address this challenge. Highlighting episodes from preindustrial England, New York City and Chicago between the 1850s and the early 1900s, Weimar-era Berlin, and neoliberal Milan, Álvaro Sevilla-Buitrago shows how capitalist urbanization has eroded the egalitarian, convivial life-worlds around the commons.  In this episode, channel host Tayeba Batool talks with Dr. Álvaro Sevilla-Buitrago on the book's argument about the ways through which urbanization shapes the social fabric of places and territories. The conversation touches upon the impact of planning and design initiatives on working-class communities and popular strata, and the various, multiple, and incremental modes of dispossession that are implicated in struggles over land, shared resources, public space, neighborhoods, creativity, and spatial imaginaries. We hear from Dr. Sevilla-Buitrago about the possibilities and alternates to a post-capitalist urban planning, one in which the structure of collective spaces is ultimately defined by the people who inhabit them. Dr. Álvaro Sevilla-Buitrago is an Associate Professor of Urban Planning at the School of Architecture, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Tayeba Batool is a PhD Candidate in Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. Tayeba Batool is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Last Tuesday, voters in Kansas rejected a proposal to amend the state's constitution to say there is no right to abortion.  Kansas is one of the most solidly Republican states in the union, having chosen the Republican candidate in all but one presidential election since 1940. But data from the Kansas Secretary of State's office shows that more people voted in the abortion referendum than in any primary election in state history, and the margin of victory was substantial: 59% voted against amending the constitution to ban abortion. For many, the outcome was surprising. But those who know Kansas more intimately understand that the roots of this outcome are deeply ingrained in the history and politics of the state.  The Takeaway spoke with Thomas Frank, author of the 2004 book “What's the Matter with Kansas?” about how the state's political history is reflected in this outcome.  The Takeaway also was joined by Representative Stephanie Clayton, House Minority Whip in the Kansas's State Legislature. Clayton discussed how a more conservative leaning framework for the state's ballot measure on abortion rights ended up being a winning strategy for Democrats and moderate Republicans in the state.

The Marys interview one of their own to learn more about LAGAI-Queer Insurrection (formerly Lesbians And Gays Against Intervention), a radical collective that started organizing in 1983 against the USA's murderous meddling in Central America.   How do you keep a group going for 40-plus years? Avoid burnout? Stay radical when so many others become liberals? If you're feeling nihilistic, learn from people who've worked toward another world for longer than some of us have been alive.

A conversation on the history of the Russian revolution with historian Neil Faulkner.  Seeking to rescue the democratic essence of the revolution from its detractors and deniers, Faulkner laced with first-hand testimony this history. Guest: Neil Faulkner is a historian and archaeologist and the author of numerous books, including A Radical History of the World and most recently, A People's History of the Russian Revolution.  Neil Faulkner argues that the Russian Revolution was an explosion of democracy and creativity – and that it was crushed by bloody counter-revolution and replaced with a monstrous form of bureaucratic state-capitalism.         History is a weapon. The powerful have their version of events, the people have another. And if we understand how the past was forged, we arm ourselves to change the future.
