Victor shares their unique perspective on music, explaining why they don't identify as a musician despite leading a protest drumming band. They dive into their research on how culture can be a form of resistance against capitalism. Victor also talks about their involvement with 'Rhythms of Resistance,' a band that plays samba fusion music at protests. They recount their accidental journey into drumming and activism, including powerful protest actions and the importance of creating liminal spaces for change.

With thanks to Sue for appearing on the podcast
In this episode, I sat down with Sue to chat about Death Cafes and our relationship with death. Sue explained how the Death Cafe movement began in 2011, inspired by a Swiss psychiatrist and developed by John Underwood in London. We talked about how these cafes provide a space for people to discuss death openly, without judgment. Sue shared her personal journey with death, from her early fascination as a child to her work as a nurse and her spiritual explorations. We also touched on different cultural practices around death, like the Mexican Day of the Dead, and the role of death doulas and spiritual midwives. Sue's insights on embracing mortality and living fully were truly inspiring.
