The Affinity Collective Action Broadcast features a rotating cast of scoundrels talking shite about anarchism, eco-activism, global politics and Irish news.
Please note that the recording of this episode was so poor that it looped back round to saving itself in the most horrific. Around half way through we had to patch the audio back together. Otherwise its the usual collection of cheery banter, tree of the week and solidarity satsuma.
Cass, Mouse and LNR share news from comrades, chat about a recent trip to the land and discuss the attempted overthrow of U.S democracy by the far-right. Featuring tree of the week!
Cass, Lnr and Mouse talk about people's attempts at building a better world around the globe with a quick break to talk about oak trees.
