Hairy Madonna

Vince Emanuele joins Sam and Sean from the States once more to talk about what's outside pandemic reality. What they find is the leadership potential of the people who hold civilisation together - drivers, cashiers, nurses - and a vision for a future that is you the listener seeing yourself as a Prime Minister of Unplanned Revolution. As well as a lot of silliness about Hairy Madonna, 5G bats and home rib removal, they talk about:Bernie as possibly the last gasp for electoral politics, using trial and error to overthrow governments, snapping out of the pandemic daze and the dazzling incompetency of most people in charge. This is a very loose episode in some ways, but moving into a present of having to mobilise all the time means letting go of normality. Normality is dissolving but we don't have to! Welcome to acting like there's a crisis and taking full advantage of the opportunities to do awesome shit, every day! You have the power to shut down the whole system! All RIGHT! The epidemic of boring lives is over! Also: shame is back and it's happy to help youse.

Samantha Castro and Sean Bedlam teamed up during Occupy Melbourne, Australia, and have been anarchically fighting side by side for all sorts of justice since then. They've been arrested and tackled by the cops in the streets too many times to count, occupied State Parliament and got injured in the process, been dragged out of the US Consulate, occupied the British Embassy, fought the police in court on ridiculous charges again and again and have supported, nurtured and trained young radical activists all along the way. By encouraging them to glue their bodies to the inside of Federal Parliament. For instance.Sam and Sean have often said to each other over a beer that what they say when they have a drink a together should really be a TV show. But a podcast will have to do.The funnest possible deadly serious activism talk. Is what it is.There is a lot of podcast action that isn't any kind of voice of street activism and there's plenty of anarchist stuff that is sensitive to the needs of others to the point of being unlistenably earnest. But they're gunna kill us. So let's have fun.
