IRREPLACEABLE: A HISTORY OF ENGLAND IN 100 PLACES
Join us as we travel across England visiting well-known wonders and some lesser-known places on your doorstep – all of which have helped make the country what it is today. From a hut in Bletchley Park where modern computing evolved, to the iron railings in London to which suffragettes chained themselves in the fight for women’s right to vote, we’ll step back in time to the very roots of our national identity to bring you the people and the stories that have helped shape England. Irreplaceable: A History of England in 100 Places is sponsored by specialist insurer, Ecclesiastical
MILLENNIALS ARE KILLING CAPITALISM
We created this podcast in recognition that there are a number of podcasts for the American “left,” but many of them focus heavily on the organizing of social democrats, progressives, and liberal democrats. Aside from that, on the left we are always fighting a war of ideas and if we do not continue to build platforms to share those ideas and the stories of their implementation from a leftist perspective, they will continue to be ignored, misrepresented, and dismissed by the capitalist media and as a result by the general public. Our goal is to provide a platform for communists, anti-imperialists, Black Liberation movements, ancoms, left libertarians, LBGTQ activists, feminists, immigration activists, and abolitionists to discuss radical politics, radical organizing and share their visions for a better world. Our goal is to center organizers who represent and work with marginalized communities building survival programs, defense programs, political education, and counterpower. We also plan to bring in perspectives on and from the global south to highlight anti-capitalist struggles outside the imperial core. We view solidarity with decolonization, indigenous, anti-imperialist, environmentalist, socialist, and anarchist movements across the world as necessary steps toward meaningful liberation for all people. Too often within the imperial core we focus on our own struggles without taking the time to understand those fighting for freedom from beneath the empire’s thumb. It is important to highlight these struggles, learn what we can from them, offer solidarity, and support with action when we can. It is not enough to Fight For $15 an hour and Single-Payer within the core, while the US actively fights against the self-determination of the people of the global economically and militarily. We recognize that except for the extremely wealthy and privileged, our fates and struggles are intrinsically connected. We hope that our podcast becomes a meaningful platform for organizers and activists fighting for social change to connect their local movements to broader movements centered around the fight to end imperialism, capitalism, racism, discrimination based on gender identity or sexuality, sexism, and ableism.

HISTORIUM UNEARTHIA: UNEARTHING HISTORY'S LOST AND UNTOLD...
Have you ever heard of Louis Congo? What about the forgotten Downwinders or The Devil’s Bible? These are just a few examples of people, events, and things from our past that have been lost to time. They’re important in the greater context of our understanding of the world and how our past shaped our present, yet they never made it into history books. In this bi-weekly podcast, freelance journalist, Crystal Ponti, digs up extraordinary excerpts of forgotten history, bringing her passion and love of storytelling to each episode. Recently honored as one of the best history podcasts of 2018 (Uproxx), listeners have likened “Historium Unearthia” to “60 Minutes” and said, “Crystal’s narration is concise and enrapturing, and the production value of her stories holds the audience’s attention like only the best of radio programs. She delivers interesting and entertaining stories from the lost parts of history, and, not only does she unearth them, she brings them to life.”
BETTER EYESIGHT PODCAST
Dr. William H. Bates, the holistic ophthalmologist who pioneered the field of natural vision improvement, published a monthly magazine called Better Eyesight Magazine from July 1919 to June 1930. Now, a century later, a group of natural vision educators and Bates Method teachers are creating the Better Eyesight Podcast, which is a monthly podcast that reads the entire Better Eyesight Magazine edition from exactly 100 years ago to the month, while also providing expert commentary on the material. Instead of having to read all 11 years worth of magazine articles yourself, we're going to read them out loud for you! That way, you can close and rest your eyes or do some other vision enhancing practices while you listen and learn. Nathan Oxenfeld and Esther Joy Van Der Werf will be your two main co-hosts, but you'll also be hearing from dozens of other natural vision educators from all over the world to get a range of explanations of Dr. Bates' powerful principles and practices. You can support the show by becoming a Patreon supporter at https://patreon.com/bettereyesight There are varying levels of involvement ranging from becoming a Better Eyesight Listener where you get access to the full audio recording of the magazine, to becoming a Better Eyesight League Member where you get access to monthly group discussions online with other visionaries, all the way to becoming a Better Eyesight Student where you get to work directly one-on-one with a Certified Bates Method Teacher either online or locally in your area. This eleven year vision quest will not only teach you more about Dr. William Bates, his lasting legacy, and the incredibly transformational method he developed, but it will also provide you with professional commentary and modern-day explanations that will help take your natural vision improvement experience to the next level. Just imagine how much better your vision could be by June 2030!
