  • #12 The Soviet Coup
    Producer: Dasha Diachenko. The podcast will explore the tragi-comedic elements of the 1991 Soviet Coup that unfolded between the 19th and the 22nd August 1991 – an event that drastically changed the course of world history and ultimately led to the fall of the Soviet Union. Professor Mark Kramer of Harvard University and Dr Daphne Skillen give details of the events leading up to the Coup, why the attempt to preserve the Communist rule failed and whether it could have ever been a success. It was a tragic fight for those who resisted the regime and a cartoonist loss for those who tried to preserve it.

  • #11 The Brixton Riots
    Producer: Jade James. The Brixton Riots of 1981 were a conflict between the Brixton community and the Metropolitan Police Force. This podcast explores how a variety of factors such as institutionalised racism which resulted in the marginalisation of the black community, racial tensions between the police and black community and crowd psychology led to the disorder. All of these elements connected and ultimately, served as a catalyst which sparked the Brixton riots of 1981.

  • #10 Exarcheia From Romance To Anarchy
    Producer: Tina Kondouli. Athens has a long history of escalating tension between protesting crowds and police forces, but nowhere more so than the district of Exarcheia. From the Polytechnic Uprising of 1973 to the anti-Prespa Agreement protest in January of 2019, the area of Exarcheia has notoriously been at the epicentre of the historic vendetta between discontented citizens and state apparatuses. No event in Greece’s recent history has established this district as a law-defying enclave than the outbreak of riots in 2008, following the death of the young Alexis Grigoropoulos at the hands of a police officer. His death was the catalyst lighting a fire out of the brewing anger and desperation amongst the people of Greece, which was fuelled by violent suppression and lasted for nearly a month. This podcast tells the turbulent story of Exarcheia, from then until now.

  • #9 The Water War: David & Goliath
    Producer: Joseph Gitata. At the turn of the 21st century, decades of political turmoil, economic instability and neoliberal development policy in Bolivia resulted in a battle that pitted corporate interests against the basic needs of everyday life. In one corner, a corporate behemoth backed by titans of the international economic system and by the government whose citizens it sought to extort; in the other, the citizens of Cochabamba, Bolivia - unbowed by the power of their opponents. This podcast will narrate the events which culminated in the Cochabamba Water War and evaluate why the citizens of Cochabamba were so successful in their expression of constituent power.

  • #8. Students of the Eros Era
    Producer: Erika Grimshaw. Students have always taken to the streets; from as early as the Middle Ages, students have exercised their political voices. But the student protests of the 20thcentury were beyond movements that were at one time fleeting, and fragmented. This podcast takes the listener back to France 1968 and South Korea 1980, and explains how two seemingly disconnected protests, which ended in bloody battles and military suppression, are examples of a worldwide social phenomenon unique to the 20th century.

  • #7: Beyond Your Command: Soweto Uprising
    Producer: Winnie Orbih
    On the morning of June 16, 1976, thousands of students from the African township of Soweto, outside Johannesburg, gathered at their schools to participate in a student-organized protest demonstration against the imposition of Afrikaans. It was meant to be a peaceful protest but hundreds were killed in the police response. This podcast details the dramatic events that took, place on the day, which marked the beginning of the end of the Apartheid system.

  • #6: Hooligans in Revolt
    Producer: Segun Awolowo
    Football goes further than which team scored the most goals. Football has the power to bring people together like no other sport. But what happens when these people are together not to celebrate but for other reasons? This podcast considers the phenomenon that is football hooliganism as well as its birth and developments over time. Rather than the plain view that hooliganism is just fighting, this podcast aims to go deeper and analyze reasons why these men act the way they do. The podcast looks at European ‘Hooligans’ as well as ‘Ultras’ in the middle east and how their ideological differences affect the ways in which they interact with the state.
    Segun Awolowo, graduated from Warwick Law School 2018 and is currently undertaking the Nigerian Bar Examination.

  • #5: Gender & Colombian Reintegration
    Producer: Suvi Jokinen
    On November 24th 2016 the Colombian Congress ratified a peace treaty with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. This lead to the disarmament of thousands of guerrilla soldiers. However, the reintegration of these former guerrilla combatants in Colombia has failed to adequately address individual complexities such as gender and age. This has left many of the former combatants without structure in their lives. Many have skills which they’ve had to leaveunused since the disarmament, as their decades long training has not been considered valuable. They have been unable to become a part of the Colombian society again, despite a formal networkof reintegration coined by some as “The best in the world”.
    These ex guerrillas are not only the perpetrators, but also victims of the conflict, as they too have lost family members, friends, loved ones, and a way of living. This is not considered in the reintegration programmes. The former combatants should be dealt with as valuable survivors of the 50-year conflict in Colombia.

  • #1: Tiananmen: Constituent Sculpture
    Producer: Renée Liew
    This podcast explores the 1989 Tiananmen Square student protest by focusing on the Goddess of Democracy sculpture created by the protestors. It develops two different timeframes of Tiananmen Square: It begins with the student-made sculpture as part of the battle of space, where monuments held an especial significance; And then it moves to the memorialisation in both China and Hong Kong, demonstrating how each has re-written the event through their constituent sculptures.
