Black Guy Fawkes is a musician. I first came across him when I saw a video of him covering an Against Me song. I became an instant fan. Aside from the great music, his story is one of the importance and challenge of finding your community amidst these difficult times. Said challenge is not a destination, it’s a journey. One that we’re all still on. Please welcome to the show, Black Guy Fawkes. 

Dennis Kucinich is a public official. He’s been a Mayor, State Senator, Congress Member, and Candidate for President of the United States. He is, in my opinion, one of the few out there who has genuinely tried to use public office, as corrupt as it is, for good. We talk about his history, the current state of affairs, and even a few points of disagreement.

Craig Pasta Jardula is a Journalist and YouTuber. Also, we’re friends, at one point we were roommates. Pasta and I were both part of the Bernie movement. When that fractured, we went different ways. I’ve been curious about that fracturing, so I decided Pasta was somebody I needed to ask about it. We see things differently. We’re not aligned on issues such as Covid, Kyle Rittenhouse, and social issues. We talk about it, and its impact on the splintering of a movement that once, at least in my opinion, had potential, and hopefully will again.

Jake Flores is a comedian and podcaster. I first cross paths with Jake when he was a guest on The Jimmy Dore Show many years ago (when it was a much different show), and have been following his path ever since. He’s a huge contributor to the left podcasting space, and he’s never been shy to call out what’s been happening politically in the stand-up comedy world amidst this fascist rise.

David Rovics is a musician, songwriter, anarchist, and activist. I’ve been listening to David for over 20 years, having first discovered his music when the Iraq War jolted me awake and I started participating in the anti-war movement in the United States. If you’re not familiar with him, you are about to learn why this is the perfect episode for St. Patrick’s Day.

Last week we had Zac Polston, well, this is the other half of the Vanguard. Gavin Charles is a YouTuber, Journalist, and Filmmaker. He’s the creator of the Found Footage Indie Horror series, No Clip, and, as mentioned, he’s the co-host of the YouTube Breadtube show, the Vanguard.

Zac Polston, known on YouTube as Zac from the Vanguard, is a YouTuber, Journalist, and Filmmaker. He’s the co-host of the Lefty Breadtube show, The Vanguard. They do a news show from a progressive point of view, and dissect the inter-fightings of indie lefty media. Also, they talk film, sports, and culture as 2 dudes from Kansas City.

John-Michael Bond is a writer and comedian. He’s had quite a life. The son of a preacher, Americore, being held up at gun point, and that’s barely scratching the surface. Punk rock, public broadband in Chattanooga, philosophy, politics, religion, and cats. This is everything 1000!

Sarah O’Connell is a show host, writer, and movie reviewer. I had the honor of being a guest on her show, she’s an incredible interviewer. She noticed things about Loner and Left At Wall that I didn’t even think of. She’s interviewed some of the biggest actors in the world. This is her story.

Jesse Ortiz is a med student and activist. He is the founder of the Instagram account, Italians for Zohran, an account in support of the election of Zohran Mamdani. It remains active post-Mamdani’s victory, as an outlet for leftist and progressive Italian-Americans (and everybody else, too) to gather and exchange ideas, and pushback against the commonly held generalization that Italian heritage in the US automatically means right-wing conservative.
