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 72 – TV, Movies and a Bit of Ranting

In a short evening stream, I'm attempting to take it easy on my bullshit vocal cords, we talk The Expanse, some other movies and then some politics and social issues later on. Enjoy!

Episode 70 – Mood.

In this evening livestream I was definitely feeling a mood. Voice slightly rough and a sort of resigned pragmatic approach led to some direct words. Headlines, chat, a caller from India looking to practice his English and shop talk with Brian towards the end.

Episode 69 – Get Your Mind Out of the Gutter! ;)

It's episode 69 and no we're not doing something special for it. Headlines, chat, some discussion of a variety of topics, we even talked a bit about foods, Jackie's dislike for chocolate and a host of other things including more upcoming scripted episodes. Enjoy!

Episode 67 – This, That and a Loser

A bit of offline journaling followed up by some online stuff, some conversations with people about topics of the day and near the end we got to deal with the resident problem of Podbean (a problem with which they provide no tools to deal with).

Episode 64 – Privacy, Security & How Screwed We Are

In this livestream we mainly talked about a few headlines of the days that should have but didn't dominate the news cycle. Firstly the anniversary of the bombing of the MOVE headquarters in Philadelphia, PA 35 years ago and secondly the expansion to the PATRIOT Act that made it's way through the Senate. We also discussed VPNs and security tech for a bit and I weighed in with recommendations for the services I use and why. We also covered a few other headlines and you can find links to them below...

Episode 62 – Headlines, 8Values w/Brian and Chat.

Episode 61 – Musings on an Off Day

In this offline episode, things are a bit different. It's essentially part journaling and part exploration of a new streaming (video) service and me playing around with setup live on the mic, seeing if it's serviceable for my wants/needs. It's a bit odd but who knows, I hope some of you enjoy it ;)

Episode 60 – A Troll and an Anarchist Walk Into a Bar…

In this evening livestream we have a repeat troll come back through and pick up an interesting new tactic that exploits Podbean's terrible moderation system for dealing with users. This member of the cult of trump is particularly enamored with myself and I couldn't be more flattered that they spend so much time obsessing over my words. Eventually the event comes to a head with a semi-legitimate exchange that results in them trying to then "save my soul" or some other such nonsense. Eventually th...

In an actually fun, productive and informative night time episode we cover a bunch of news/headlines, get some practical education done concerning Anarchism & Socialism and a wide variety of topics ranging from historic colonialism, language, US constitutional concerns from a callers and so much more. I also had the added pleasure of being joined by Marko, a lovely man from Croatia who called in and spent quite some time on the line with me discussing these topics. Enjoy! Some of the links f...

Episode 55 – Old School Journaling

This is a blast from the past kinda episode so don't expect a political science or economics lecture in this one.This is purely just me having a bit of a heart to heart with the mic and by extension of course, all of you. Some talk about my day, some talk of days past and some talk of things I wish I could still do. Enjoy a peek into a sedate, middle of the night version of Kai. Much Love.

Episode 54 – The Story of May Day

Here's the prerecorded, singular episode that is just the telling of the tragic story of the hows and whys of May Day, International Worker's Day.

Episode 53 – A May Day Special

In the May Day special I cover a few headlines at the top of the episode but the main course is the story of how May Day came to be, the history behind the massacre and the resultant travesty that occurred in the courts. Later on in the back third of the show I have a passionate exchange with a user by the name of Perspective 360 (and community member deyah stops in for a word or two) concerning black rights, racism and tons of tangentially related topics.

Episode 51 – News, Gear, Lessons and More

We covered a fair amount of ground in today's livestream. From a bit of talk in the beginning about a touch of interpersonal drama that I had to deal with today in real life we quickly move into headlines and discussion of the fucked nature of *gestures at everything*. A few other podcasters also stopped by and we talked techniques and gear choices as well as some software discussion in order to ditch Adobe products. In the end we wrap it back around to discussion of revolution, May Day, protest...

I'm back! After tons of Podbean shitfuckery I finally am at the helm once more. Voice is still (as always it seems, shit) but I'm back! This evening livestream is largely dedicated to the developing story of the astroturfed protests across the US and the grifters potentially behind it, the Dorr Brothers. Brian and I worked on this story on Sunday and found out quite a bit about these scumbags on our own as well as info provided by the general hivemind of the Internet and Reddit. Enjoy!...
