FEEDROP: Metra: Let The Story Begin

This week, we're thrilled to share the first episode of Metra: A Climate Revolution with Songs Metra is an original musical fiction podcast about how we change the world. The year is 2043. The world is hot, water is scarce, the weather is unpredictable…and the fossil fuel industry continues to thrive. The wealthy are comfortable in their air-purified, cooled, humidified, superbly hydrated Bubble cities. But in a roadside bar on the Outside, an unlikely group of revolutionaries is about to demand a new story. Starring Tony-nominee Jeannette Bayardelle and a Broadway and NYC theatre cast. Metra weaves ancient myth, transformative magic, and memorable music to tell the story of a dangerous climate future, and the fight for the world we deserve. Written and created by The Hartfords.

Performing the Revolution in New York

In our last episode of the season, we come full circle, diving into Radical Evolution's 2023 exchange with Janam that took place in New York. We learn about their collaboration with PSC-CUNY (Professional Staff Congress, the union of Faculty & Professional staff at CUNY, the nation's largest public urban university) - as well as how it has informed the work Radical Evolution has made since.

FEEDROP: The Art of Resistance: Un Encuentro Para Libertad

This week, we're sharing an episode from our comrades at The Art of Resistance, a podcast about channeling our rage and fear into creation, and using writing, music, and all kinds of art to resist the status quo… How did a creative workshop across borders and across languages further a revolution? How did music, one-act plays, poems, murals and more connect humans more thoroughly than anything else? And what can we learn from the Chicana art scene in East LA in the 90s and their alliance with the indigenous Zapatistas in Mexico about how to make art as resistance today and tomorrow? This episode's full title is Un Encuentro Para Libertad: Chicana Artivistas + Zapatistas, 1997… Check it out along with the entire Art of Resistance series wherever you're listening now…

Performing the Revolution in California

In this episode, we take you to the farmlands and rolling hills of Central California, where El Teatro Campesino was forged on the picket lines of the historic California Grape Strikes. And just like the companies we've covered in this series, we'll look at how their story has continued into the present — as well as how their tactics and tools had a profound influence on shaping Radical Evolution's trajectory.
