Proudly Radical

Reclaiming the truth in a stolen world. Proudly Radical is my solo podcast that serves as part journal and part commentary on society, politics, the economy and world events at large as an affirmed anarcho-socialist and general malcontent living in America. No restrictions, no filters, just my straight opinion on anything that comes across my mind. Radical adj. (especially of change or action) relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough. - Oxford English Dictionary

Episode 08 – The Origins of and Problem with Policing

In this episode I re-visit an old episode topic and re-work it on my new equipment and add a slightly different ending to it. This episode is about the historical origins of what we recognize as modern metropolitan police forces. In what may be true or apocryphal (it's difficult to tell) I tell you the tale of how police came to earn the nickname of "pigs" and how that set that tone for all future policing efforts. I then move the story over to "the colonies", or what would become the United Sta...

Episode 07 – Livestreamed and It’s a Doozy

Where to begin? Geez. First, it's 3 hours. Second, it covers a lot of ground. There are some repetitive parts in the beginning due to various listeners coming and going but stick with it and you'll get to meet Kristina a fellow podcaster (you can find she and her (now ex) boyfriend at the Random Couple Show ). She and I had a great (nearly) 2 hour conversation about a range of topics. Together we also address some various issues brought up by other listeners (it was great to have a woman's persp...

Episode 06 – Back in the Rhythm

In this episode I end up in a solid rant towards the end with just a bit of personal journaling up front and a bunch of headlines and stories for the majority of the episode. I talk about my shift from non-participation/apathy to voting and active participation despite my streaming partner's (and friends') opinions on the matter. I show some love and support for Bernie Sanders and some of his latest (and not so latest) policy choices/bills. Of course it wouldn't be a day in American news and pol...

Episode 05 – Let’s Do Some News

Let's do some old fashioned news breakdowns. In this episode I'll be covering LGBT descrimination in the Florida public school system, proposed Federal cuts to social security, medicare and medicaid, the White House credentialing a racist wackjob "news" site, the Secretary of State having a toddler-like meltdown at a journalist, the half-assed attempt by the current administration to sell logging and fossil fuel as a solution to pollution from wildfires, the President's* blatant attempt to downp...

Episode 04 – Some Catching Up

It's been a bit since the last episode posting since I had to recover from that bout of tonsillitis but in this episode I catch everyone up with what's been going on with me, my (imo) rather interesting search for a new primary care physician, the appointment with my neuromuscular specialist, I talk for a while about the coronavirus and class solidarity and worker's right through the lens of influencing workers at my local Whole Foods. Also visit my new forums (don't expect too much content yet ...

Episode 03.5 – Just a Quick Update

Just a quick update to let you all know I've come down with a case of tonsillitis and I'm going to delay doing this week's episodes of Proudly Radical in order to rest my voice/throat. Fear not, Mike and I will be back for Monday's Misery Likes Company Livestream even if it means I'm horse and not quite ready, that show will go on! Until then, take care of one another and I hope you're all as well as you can be. ❤️ Kai...

Episode 03 – Time to Burn Down the Health Care System

In this episode I elucidate the intricacies of getting fucked over by the American sick care system. Essentially I have two insurance companies (primary and secondary insurance) and neither will work with the others' "specialty" pharmacies at the same time each requires me to use their own. Catch-22 for the win! weeeeeee... I also discuss the absolute trash state of neurological care in the Las Vegas valley including a doctor who won't order certain tests because he can't directly profit from th...

Episode 02 – I Think I Converted One…?

I have a nice old fashioned ramble about today's events including a conversation with a Trump supporting, born-again baby boomer who is a PhD Toxicologist and how I've warmed him up to anarchism.

Episode 01 – I’m Back

My first episode back after an approximately 3 week hiatus and I'm back under the new show title :) In this episode I do the basics of introducing myself, elaborating a bit about my basic political/economic views and cover a couple headlines. Nothing too heavy but an easing of the toe back in the water. If you're looking for the Misery Likes Company Podcast it is now livestreamed every Monday at 9PM (-8GMT) through Podbean and posted later that night on this website. The Hofeller Files - Story A...
