New interviews will return in September.  Back in April of this year, rabble radio shared a special soundscape episode inspired by Earth Day. All the staff here at rabble recorded bits of audio of the nature that surrounded them and it made for, what I feel was, a very beautiful little tribute to the Earth. But that's not the only time that we've talked about soundscapes on the show.  In August 2016, then- rabble radio host Victoria Fenner presented an episode entitled "Acoustic ecology and the art of listening." The episode, celebrating World Listening Day, featured interviews from different audio artists as well as a piece of audio Fenner created herself. We'd like to share that with you today.  To listen to the full original episode from 2016, click here.  If you like the show please consider subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and now: subscribe to rabble on Patreon to hear exclusive bonus episodes of rabble radio.

This summer, we're sharing re-released episodes of rabble radio from our archives as we mark 25 years of rabble.ca. New interviews will return in September.  This week's re-released episode takes us back to January 2017, the month of Donald Trump's first inauguration of Donald Trump as president. We're joined by former rabble contributor Sophia Reuss as she shares her reflections from the Women's March on Washington, DC. We also hear voices from the Vancouver and Toronto protests.  There is something so powerful about listening to people take to the streets the very day after his inauguration. It completely captures the start of a massive wave of resistance and serves as a heavy reminder that the battles people were fighting back then are the exact same ones we're still up against right now.

This summer, we're sharing re-released episodes of rabble radio from our archives as we mark 25 years of rabble.ca. New interviews will return in September.  This week's re-released episode takes us back to November 2009 with a segment from episode 94 of rabble radio. In this archival feature, we revisit a conversation originally broadcast by Red Eye—the long-running progressive podcast that was a staple of rabble's podcast network. The interview features David Eby, then, the executive director of the BC Civil Liberties Association and now the premier of British Columbia, discussing the province's controversial plans to displace Vancouver's unhoused population ahead of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. As Vancouver takes the global stage once again, this time for the FIFA World Cup, looking back at Eby's sharp critiques of state displacement feels incredibly informative—and perhaps a little hypocritical. We also look back at a vital conversation for Pride Month. Meagan Perry speaks with Arthur Kisenyi about the legislative landscape for queer people in Uganda. Unfortunately, in the years since this interview first aired, Uganda has passed even harsher laws, making it one of the most dangerous places in the world to be queer. It's a reminder of how much is at stake, and how the fight for global queer liberation continues.
