Host Anna Duensing offers an introduction to the podcast and to the April Institute, where the idea for this show came from, what its goals are, and how she first got interested in the subject of the Black Antifascist Tradition and (anti)fascism in the U.S. context more generally.

The songs cited toward the end are Paul Robeson, "Peat Bog Soldiers" (Die Moorsoldaten), Leadbelly, "Mr. Hitler," and Jazz Gillum, "War Time Blues."
