The Stuart Bedasso Show

As promised, the author of The End of Policing, Alex Vitale, is on the show and this is a MUST listen. How did policing start in the US? Should we just end policing tomorrow? Police are not an appropriate response to homelessness, drug use, sex work, and more. We have to create institutions that reduces the need for police. Listen then get the book at https://www.versobooks.com/books/3906-the-end-of-policing.

Pat LaMarche is back to talk about her new project - her collaboration with Jason Seaux - on a comic book called Invisible, about a homeless vet superhero. Get your copy at www.invisiblevet.com. All proceeds go to help homeless vets. We talk about the process of comic book creation; Dave opens up his mouth and now he may have to start writing a comic book. How do they get statistics on homelessness? It's the government, of course it's bullshit. And it's not TSBS if we don't work in cannabis. Support Stuart Bedasso Radio at www.StuartBedasso.com.

We fucking talk to Lee Camp - the hardest working person in show/news business. Where do you get your news? He says it again - RT has never told him what to talk about on his show! He's coming to Rochester, we'll be there. Get your tickets at leecamp.com. An awesome interview!

There's No Music!

Dave had a conversation with Kellye Gray whose new CD, called Rendering, is out now. They talk about the CD, which took 2 years to create, as well as about music in general, and the fabulous musicians she's worked with throughout the years. You also get some breaking news about what Kellye's going to be up to in the future. Think french fries, french bread, french dressing.
