Chris McGinnis writes songs that exist somewhere between a hiccup and a heartache. Through tales of stolen Winnebagos and hip-shaking grandbabies, Chris’ music is Appalachian absurdity for the 21st Century. He has six tomato plants and a cat named Catrick.

A storyteller from Alabama, Kozak weaves mythology, spirituality, and poetry into his songs and delivers them with a dark voice and rhythmic finger-picking. His latest EP, “Our Lady of Embers,” tells the story of divining a thread of hope across these southern mountains.

This week, we’re sharing a conversation with two anti-repression organizers in the UK who are both associated with NetPol, or the Network for Police Monitoring as well as other defendant support projects. For the chat we speak about the sort of work their orgs are involved in, changes in sentencing amongst protestors, increasingly violent police suppression of antifascists counter-demonstrating (and greatly outnumbering) anti-immigrant crowds, the Filton Palestine Action cases and more. We hope you enjoy and you can find some links in the show notes on where to find more of Maya and Andy’s work.
If you’re listening to the radio edition, you’re missing about half an hour of the conversation. You can find the extended interview, alongside the transcript (soon) and many other episodes at https://tfsr.media
We recorded this interview several weeks ago, before Palestine Action was proscribed by the US as a Specially Designated Terrorist Entity and has had sanctions applied to it by the US State Department, so it’s notable that we can legally not suggest anyone offer material support to Palestine Action thanks to the Anti-Antifascist US government as they could be punished under US law.
