I had a bunch of notes planned - updates on travels and new projects that I was gonna share. Best laid plans...

Welcome to the new era of Act Out! Talking through some of the craziness we're all feeling - not in a cheapened, let's om together kinda way - but in a deep, anti-capitalist way. Here we are - what does here look like, feel like - and what are folks doing, what can folks be doing - to create that light at the end of the tunnel, rather than wait for the powers-that-be to light their path with the flames of our hope?

The end of an era – a look back and a look ahead, to work that's been done, and all yet to come. It's been almost five years of Act Out! and while this chapter is ending, this book is far from written. We're gearing up for deeper dives – beyond surface headlines and rapid fire news cycles – and we want you to be a part of it. So here's to raised fists, to sit-ins and shut downs – and a lot more marching in the streets. See you on the front lines.

**NOTE: Stay subscribed to the podcast! It will continue! We'll be back on April 17th with a new format. Got ideas or thoughts on what you'd like to hear? Sign up for our newsletter or visit the Art Killing Apathy site to get in touch!

A special episode that looks at a grotesque statistic and asks the question – if you can judge a government by how they treat their most vulnerable and marginalized --- how more pointed is that judgement when you look at the hometown of that government?
