For episode 181, Elia Ayoub is joined by Margaret Killjoy to talk about her piece "⁠The Sky is Falling; We've Got This⁠" published on her newsletter. We recorded this shortly after Trump was announced as the winner of the US elections and many people were feeling despair, understandably so.

Check out Margaret's new book and first novel "The Sapling Cage" with Feminist Press!
