After Recent Electoral Victories, What’s Next for Democratic Socialists of America?

Interview with Paul Heideman, author of Rogue Elephant: How Republicans Went from the Party of Business to the Party of Chaos, conducted by Scott Harris. Paul Heideman discusses his recent Jacobin magazine article, “Where are the Democratic Socialists of America Going?” which examines how the group is successfully navigating the U.S. electoral system but continues to face considerable challenges in rooting itself in the U.S. working class.

As Iran War Enters 9th Month, U.S. Peace Movement Missing in Action

Interview with Frida Berrigan, a long-time activist and author of “It Runs In The Family: On Being Raised by Radicals and Growing Into Rebellious Motherhood”, conducted by Scott Harris. Frida Berrigan, an activist who lives in southeastern Connecticut and opposes the ever-stretching shadow of militarism, talks about her recent commentary, “Where Are the Iran War Protests?” She notes that despite a wildly unpopular war with Iran, a mass protest movement for peace hasn’t materialized — at least in the ways we’ve been taught to recognize.

I came to Connecticut 15 years ago to pursue my PhD in American Studies at Yale and then stayed. I currently live in Hamden with my two cats and a lot of plants. During the day I work in staff Learning & Development at Yale. I spend most of my non-work time as an artist and writer. You can find me online at my website, on Substack, and on Discogs.   I was recruited to radio by Val Richardson, who asked me to come on as a programmer after a few casual mentions of concerts I was going to or had recently attended. Programming is something like a dream-I-didn’t-know-I-had come true. I was always the friend who knew a lot about music or was trying to turn people on to bands or songs I came across, but I didn’t have an outlet (or a semi-captive audience). In high school, when the wind was blowing the right way, I would listen to Bates College Radio out of Lewiston, Maine, and wish I could have a radio show.   My show typically features recent music in the Indie/Alternative/Americana/Dream-Pop/Folk-Pop/Folk/Punk/Post-Punk genres. I focus primarily on female and queer singers and musicians. I also have a soft spot in my heart for Classic Rock, which was the soundtrack of my youth.
