- People's History Podcast: "Rent Strike" (S1E3)
Tenants take their growing dissatisfaction and aim it at their landlord, the Boston Housing Authority.
This is episode three of the first season of a people's history podcast! "The Point: Rebellion and Resistance in Boston Public Housing" traces a social history of Boston from the urban rebellions of the 1960s, through busing in the 70s, into the Clinton era.
We investigate these events from the lens of one community: Columbia Point, the largest public housing project in New England. Built on an isolated landfill site next to the Boston city dump, it was the site of major organizing, from welfare rights to a Free Breakfast for Children program. It was also the first public housing project to be sold off and redeveloped as private "mixed-income" development (and was a model for the federal policy "HOPE VI").

- Jacobin Radio: Labour Manifesto, Netanyahu Indictments, and the Bolivian CoupSuzi speaks with Kevin Ovenden about Jeremy Corbyn’s new Labour Party manifesto. The just-launched manifesto promotes a vision for the country with broad appeal that challenges and counteracts the politics of austerity, despair, and decline that have characterized the last several decades. Corbyn is campaigning for real change, and we get Ovenden’s analysis. Suzi then talks to Yoav Peled in Tel Aviv about what happens now that interim Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving PM, has been indicted on three counts of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Neither Netanyahu’s Likudnor Benny Gantz’s Blue and White Party have been able so far to form a government since Israel’s second election of 2019 in September, and the indictments put Israel in uncharted political territory. We get Peled's insights on what happens next. Finally, Suzi talks to political sociologist Gabriel Hetland about Bolivia, now caught in a spiral of horrors as the far-right regime of terror consolidates its rule after the ouster of Evo Morales on November 10. We also get Gabriel’s latest research into the conditions of the disputed elections that led to Evo Morales’s contested victory and forced resignation.
