In the first episode for this week, Nate speaks with Sam Asumadu of Media Diversified (@WritersofColour) about far right in places like Ukraine, Myanmar, and the militaries of countries like the UK and US. She's currently researching an article to try and thread the needle of all these stories, and we hope you enjoy this discussion. Also: Media Diversified is currently on strike in an attempt to protest the unequal response on platforms like Twitter when users report abuse against Black people, specifically Black women, and Romani people. You can see more information about this under the hashtag #DoWeCountToo.

In Every Country a Far Right feat. Sam Asumadu

Matt Potter

There’s no Hell of a Way this week, as Nate has covid and Francis left on vacation before the war in Ukraine started. We’ll hopefully be back next week. In the interim, we’re crossposting a piece from Media Diversified (@WritersofColour) director and previous guest Samantha Asumadu, in which she speaks with author Matt Potter about information warfare (both as relates to Ukraine and in general). Thank you for your patience, and hope you enjoy.   For this week’s bonus, Joe, Francis, and Carey discuss a recent story in which some aviation Marines got charged for being idiots on a gondola ride. Yes, you heard that right.

*CROSSPOST* Sam Asumadu Interviews Author Matt Potter on Information War

In this special extra segment, Nate interviews Sam Asumadu from Media Diversified (@WritersOfColour) about the phenomenon of Indeterminate Sentences for Public Protection (IPPs), a now-banned sentence that has resulted in thousands of British residents effectively receiving life sentences for acts as minor as stealing a mobile phone at age 17. Sam’s written an article on the topic for OpenDemocracy, which is available here: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/families-plea-over-barbaric-indefinite-prison-sentences-for-minor-crimes/ Check out Media Diversified’s Linktree here: https://linktr.ee/mediadiversified *MILO ALERT* Milo has a bunch of live shows this month in both London and Prague.

Life Sentences by Stealth: Nate Interviews Sam Asumadu about IPPs

This week, Nate speaks with Sam Asumadu of Media Diversified (@writersofcolour) about her recent piece on the UK’s war in Yemen–that is, the ways in which the UK arms industry’s relationship with Saudi Arabia means that arms sales continue no matter what. We also discuss a lot about UK domestic politics and the relationships between reactionary movements in the US and the developing world. Read Sam’s piece about Yemen here:  https://mediadiversified.org/2022/01/30/britain-is-just-as-culpable-for-the-war-in-yemen-as-saudi-arabia/   For this week’s bonus, we go to the southeast border of Europe (sorta): Joe's in Armenia right now and he explains some of the local issues to Francis and Carey, and they also discuss a strange subculture in which Russian men try to cosplay as American rednecks.
