episode “We Naturally Got Hostile: Voices from the Kingston Penitentiary Riot of 1932.’ artwork
“We Naturally Got Hostile: Voices from the Kingston Penitentiary Riot of 1932.’

For four days in October 1932, during the height of the Great Depression, prisoners at Kingston Penitentiary revolted, protesting conditions in the prison until the guards and militia regained control. The shock of this event led to public calls for prison reform, changes within the prison system, and eventually the 1938 Royal Commission on the Penal System of Canada. The history of the riot, however, has usually been told using only government reports and newspapers, or relegated to a small part in the biographies of famous individuals. Using previously untapped archival materials – including interviews, letters and manifestos – this talk will focus on what the prisoners themselves thought about their incarceration and the causes of the riot.  By exploring the complaints, criticisms, fears, hopes, dreams, and frustrations of the imprisoned, the talk will restore their demands and goals to a central place in understanding this watershed event in Canadian history. This lecture given by Cameron Willis occurred on November 21, 2019 at 12 noon at City Hall in Kingston, Ontario as part of theHeritage Resource Centre Lecture Series [https://www.cityofkingston.ca/residents/heritage-conservation/resource-centre]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
