This year marks the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta, and this week’s show marks that occasion with a discussion on the rights of the commons with author Peter Linebaugh. We also visit a community center in Caracas, and hear from youth voices about life and revolution in Venezuela.

We join the radical arts collective Otro Beta in Caracas, Venezuela to learn about the work, and what they have to say to the people of the United States.

Press freedom is under attack

As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.

Truthout produces reporting you won’t see in the mainstream: journalism from the frontlines of global conflict, interviews with grassroots movement leaders, high-quality legal analysis and more.
