Kaarina chats with Hugh Goldring of Ad Astra Comix about Anarchism leading up to the Spanish Civil War, during the war, and in Canada and North America today. Hugh also shares his thoughts on anti-fascism today.

Kevin and Kaarina discuss the short and tragic life of Canadian volunteer Thomas Danek.

In Part 2 of our interview with Tyler Wentzell, we talk about a whole lot of things: his research on Toronto's Standard Theatre, the Foreign Enlistment Act, canada and the Spanish Civil War from the persepctive of a military historian, and anti-fascism. 

Kaarina and Kevin talk about Jean "Jim" Watts, who worked as a journalist, broadcaster, driver, and censor in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

Kevin Levangie joins host Kaarina Mikalson to talk about Doctor Norman Bethune, a Canadian doctor who ran a blood transfusion service in Spain. Kevin tells us about Bethune's background, his radical politics, his art, and his work in Spain and China.

Just a quick announcement that Listen In is taking a break. We will be back in June with more episodes.

Kevin Levangie traces the typical (if such a generalization is possible) journey and experience of a Canadian volunteer in the Spanish Civil War. He discusses the Canadian's resistance to discipline, how scarcity of resources affected volunteers, and the battles they engaged in.
