An Important Announcement Regarding Resistance Reads Podcast
Hello all,
Matt Wellstrom and I have now aired 22 episodes of our series Resistance Reads. And Recently Matt and I had a serious conversation about the future of the show.
This show has been an incredible passion project of ours and I look forward to every single time we sit down on that couch and discuss books. Even when we didn't like the book, the discussion is something I absolutely love.
So we've been doing a lot of thinking and the result of that conversation was that we have decided not only continue on with the show, but that we want to expand the show to include a new series, Resistance Reels, a show about power and resistance through film and TV. We have so many amazing movies that we want to cover in addition to the books.
We really want to build a community around the show and create conversations about how to resist oppressive systems, because the truth is, with everything happening in the world we need to defend our rights and our democratic systems and art can help us do that.
But, we decided that given how much work it is just to do a new book every 3 weeks for Resistance Reads and now, this show once a month, that we really need to start treating the show as something more than a hobby, but to treat it something more akin to a job.
So today, we launched a Patreon Page and our very first Episode of Resistance Reels. The very first episode of Resistance Reels is Free and Live on YouTube. The Patreon page will have three levels for subscriptions and will include bonus discussions from Resistance Reads, The second show, Resistance Reels, and a Non Fiction Book Club where we host a live discussion of key passages and chapters from Non-Fiction books about Power and Resistance.
We want to help you find all the tools you need to helping making this world more democratic. And as always, Resistance Reads itself will remain totally free and open to anyone and, if you're so inclined you can join us for our live streams and become part of the discussion in the chat.
Thanks to all of those of you who watch or listen to our show!
