Yonit and Jonathan explore the emotional terrain of joy and sorrow that defines this moment — for the families, for Israel, and for those still waiting. They examine what the return means for the hostage community, the political fallout facing Israel's leadership, and the uneasy path ahead in its dealings with Hamas. Plus: a conversation with Rachel and Jon Goldberg-Polin, whose son Hersh was kidnapped from the Nova festival and murdered by Hamas in Gaza. They talk about the past week, the road to recovery, Donald Trump, and the future of Israel. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This was a conversation with Heath Carter, historian and author of Union Made: Working People and the Rise of Social Christianity in Chicago. Heath walked us through his journey from growing up in evangelical Orange County to discovering a working-class theological tradition that has been largely erased from our collective memory. We explored how the social gospel wasn't born in elite seminaries but was hammered out by workers quoting scripture in union halls, threatening to leave churches that sided with their bosses, and forcing institutional Christianity to reckon with inequality. Heath traced how both Protestant and Catholic churches went from being uniformly anti-labor in the late 1800s to embracing living wages and collective bargaining by the New Deal era—not because theologians had brilliant insights, but because grassroots pressure made it pragmatically and theologically untenable to ignore the labor question. We discussed why this tradition was gutted in the late 20th century, what UAW President Sean Fain's evangelical faith reveals about what's still possible, and whether democracy can survive when we continually compromise democratic values for market demands. Heath reminded us that 1877 was also a catastrophically bad year in American history, but out of that devastation came movements that actually changed things—not through perfect strategies or ideological purity, but through small, faithful acts and found solidarity that transformed institutional incentives. It's a story we desperately need to remember right now. Heath W. Carter is associate professor of American Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he teaches and writes about the intersection of Christianity and American public life. Carter is the author of Union Made: Working People and the Rise of Social Christianity in Chicago, which was the runner-up for the American Society of Church History's 2015 Brewer Prize. He is also the co-editor of three books: The Pew and the Picket Line: Christianity and the American Working Class, Turning Points in the History of American Evangelicalism, and A Documentary History of Religion in America, 4th Ed.

In this episode of The Sobremesa Podcast, Alan McGuire and Eoghan Gilmartin are joined by Barcelona-based Italian journalist Tiare Gatti Mora. they discuss Spain's relationship with Palestine and Israel.The conversation explores the political and moral dynamics behind Spain's arms embargo, its efforts to help stop the genocide in Gaza, and the possible calculations shaping Pedro Sánchez's stance on Palestine.

“Shocking... but not surprising” - the words of Stephen Bush, Associate Editor at the Financial Times and Chair of the Commission on Racial Inclusivity in the Jewish Community  for the Board of Deputies of British Jews in 2020. Stephen joins Nish and Coco to discuss the fallout from the shocking attack on a synagogue in Manchester last week.  The trio discuss solidarity and protest, and why the government's response to the Manchester attack is not making all British Jews feel safer.  Stephen has also spent the weekend in an all-but empty exhibition hall, at Tory conference in Manchester. It's a land of misspelt chocolate bars and retro racism - have the Tories given up the ghost?  Later - Coco and Nish try their hand at some data analysis - introducing Pod Save the UK's brand-spanking-new diarrhoea index - before checking in on a bold new idea straight out of the Green's conference - abolishing landlords.  CHECK OUT THIS DEAL FROM OUR SPONSOR https://www.shopify.co.uk/podsavetheuk  GUESTS Stephen Bush  CLIP CREDITS ITV The Green Party of England & Wales BBC The Guardian  Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series! On this edition we welcome @wilsonsolidarity Wilson.solidarity joins the Magician On Duty Journey Series with an intimate new episode Magician On Duty is proud to present the latest chapter in its acclaimed Journey Series — a deeply emotional and culturally rich set by wilson.solidarity, the German DJ and producer with Bengali roots, and a key member of Berlin's Rebellion der Träumer collective. Known for his unique blend of melodic and oriental techno, Wilson.solidarity crafts a sound that bridges continents and emotions — music that moves forward while keeping one foot anchored in his Indian heritage. His sets carry a distinct narrative quality, weaving rhythm and melody into stories of identity, connection, and transformation. This special Journey Series episode, Wilson describes, is “about love — being abandoned, and eventually finding something beautiful and new again.” The set unfolds like a diary of the last few years of his life, featuring both German and English love tracks that channel personal emotion through musical storytelling. It's an introspective voyage that captures both heartbreak and renewal, all underpinned by the warmth of his signature mid-tempo groove. A familiar presence across the European underground circuit, Wilson.solidarity has performed at festivals and venues such as Wonderland Festival, SKALAR Festival, Hoppocalypse at Renate (Berlin), and Aktion gegen Rassismus — as well as appearances across Sri Lanka and Indonesia, reflecting his truly global artistic spirit. With this Journey Series episode, Wilson.solidarity invites listeners to travel through the many shades of love — from loss to rediscovery — through the universal language of sound. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Special thanks to @bisu-andyou for the wonderful mastering!

Ways of Knowing: Oral Histories on the Worlds Words Create (Litwin Books, 2025) sits at the heart of the library project, shaping how materials are described and organized and how they can be retrieved. The field has long understood that normative systems like Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress do this inadequately and worse, deploying language and categories that are rooted in white supremacy, patriarchy, and U.S. imperialism. In Ways of Knowing, Emily Drabinski and Amanda Belantara present unique and timely oral histories of alternative thesauri created in response to the inadequacies and biases embedded within widely adopted standards in libraries. The oral histories tell the stories behind the thesauri through the narratives of the people who created them, revealing aspects of thesauri work that ordinarily are overlooked or uncovered. The set of oral histories included in the volume document the Chicano Thesaurus, A Women's Thesaurus, and Homosaurus. Drabinski and Belantara recorded hour-long oral histories with two representatives from each project, documenting the origins of each thesaurus, the political and social context from which they emerged, and the processes involved in their development and implementation. Introductory essays provide a context for each thesaurus in the history of information and activism in libraries. The book and accompanying digital files constitute the first primary source of its kind and a unique contribution to the history of metadata work in libraries. Capturing these stories through sound recording offers new ways of understanding the field of critical cataloging and classification as we hear the joy, frustration, urgency, and seriousness of critical metadata work.

In this especially candid and moving episode, I sit down with Guffguy, a charming and introspective guest who brings humor, vulnerability, and a lot of heart to the mic. From the jump, we explore how his fart fetish first took shape in childhood, through a blend of early social dynamics, familial expectations, and those unshakable formative moments that tend to follow us into adulthood. He shares with us the impact of shame, secrecy, and eventual self-acceptance, peeling back layers on the social stigma tied to his fetish and the role therapy and community have played in helping him reframe it. It's raw, funny, and unflinchingly honest. Together, we also dig into the tension between fantasy and reality—what it's like navigating kink and intimacy in a world that doesn't exactly make space for fetishes like ours. Guffguy opens up about experiences with past partners, the joy of feeling seen, and how even brief connections, when met with curiosity or kindness, can leave a lasting impact. We talk about the complexity of sharing a fetish with someone you care about, the thrill of theatrics and suggestion, and how simply being able to talk about this stuff is still a radical act in a judgmental world. By the end of the episode, what emerges is not just a portrait of someone living with a specific sexual interest, but of someone deeply human—trying, like all of us, to be understood, to connect, and to feel less alone. Guffguy reminds us that every time we choose honesty, we create the kind of world we want to live in.  Find the podcast and resources at https://FartFetishPodcast.com.

President of the Democracy Fund Joe Goldman offers both urgency and clarity for donors concerned about the U.S.' democratic backslide into authoritarianism in this conversation. As the second Trump administration consolidates power, he offers a practical three-part framework for strategic, democracy-focused giving: strengthening guardrails, powering breakthrough strategies, and working toward reconstruction.  In a conversation that grapples with difficult questions about donor fear and the paralyzing sense of overwhelm that many feel when considering the breadth of threats to democracy right now, Goldman shares specific examples of organizations doing critical work, and an array of ways that donors can get involved. His message is clear: "Courage breeds more courage. Solidarity breeds more solidarity."

In this episode, Amisha sits together with two amazing women, Nat Skoczylas and Teresa Machado.  Teresa is a project caretaker, events curator, and editor of The Radicals, shaping radical world-building experiments and working with the feminisation of politics collective. Nat is a community organiser, activist and artist building trans/queer/eco-feminist futures, anarchist spaces, and networks of solidarity and mutual aid. Together they share their visions for the future, reflecting on the power of community and the need to reclaim the narrative around radicalism. This episode highlights how curiosity, trust, and solidarity can help us navigate the challenges of late-stage capitalism and today's social justice movements. We hope it inspires you to reclaim the radical within yourself and explore how solidarity, care, and imagination can transform the world we live in. Join The Rhythm with live practice sessions every Monday and Thursday here. For links and more, visit  https://allthatweare.org/  This podcast was made in collaboration with The Radicals, a storytelling initiative powered by the Guerrilla Foundation. The project explores contemporary radicalism, reclaiming what it means to be radical while showcasing the diverse faces of root-cause activism worldwide. Through authentic and inspiring stories, they aim to reframe activists, uproot misconceptions, and reroute rebellions.  

While Strength&Solidarity is on a break we're taking the chance to re-up some favourite episodes.Back in December we featured an episode about North Korea – but with a twist. Beyond the ritual condemnations of egregious practices under Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, it's rare to get a close-up view of what the people who escape from North Korea think and feel about their lives and the future they want. Hanna Song, Executive Director of the Database Center for North Korean Human Rights, reflects on what she has learned – a more nuanced and complex picture than is usually painted.And in the Coda, a Zimbabwean human rights lawyer relies on soccer to keep things cordial.

She also unpacks the concept of ‘complexity' and explains how it can sometimes be used as a tool to illuminate important nuances and at other times be used by powerful interests to obfuscate the way dominant power structures function in order to demobilize opposition and maintain unjust power arrangements.  Finally, Anu reflects on what “belonging” means to her today and names the 3 best places in the world to get Indian food outside of the Subcontinent.  FULL SHOW NOTES INCLUDING DIRECT LINKS TO EVERYTHING DISCUSSED ARE AVAILABLE HERE.  ____________________________________ See my Top 10 Apps For Digital Nomads See my Top 10 Books For Digital Nomads See my 7 Keys For Building A Remote Business (Even in a space that's not traditionally virtual) Watch my Video Training on Stylish Minimalist Packing so you can join #TeamCarryOn  See the Travel Gear I Use and Recommend See How I Produce The Maverick Show Podcast (The equipment, services & vendors I use) ____________________________________ ENJOYING THE SHOW?
