Another Way, by Lawrence Lessig show

Another Way, by Lawrence LessigJoin Now to Follow

Can we make 2020 something more than a civil war between Democrats and Republicans? That’s the challenge that has inspired this podcast by Equal Citizens founder, Lawrence Lessig. Without doubting the urgent need to defeat our current President, Lessig lays out a strategy that leverages the common ground that unites America, to the end of fixing our rigged and broken democracy. Drawing upon the history of other moments of fundamental change in America, Lessig maps a strategy that steps above our partisan divide. It is a moonshot, no doubt. But it is the one shot that could get us beyond the pathological division that destroys our government today. This is the conversation that the politicians won’t give us. And that’s precisely why we citizens must begin it now. This is six episodes that are an invitation to begin that repair.

2038 show

2038Join Now to Follow

<p>What will life look like in 2038? Twenty years from now is not the stuff of science fiction, but it still sounds like it: flying driverless cars, an internet cold war, a Chinese world order. Given the pace of change we are currently living through, the world really could look dramatically different from today. Remember, twenty years ago, social media and iPhones and the Tea Party did not exist, Barack Obama had just started dabbling in state politics, the Clinton administration was loosening up its oversight of something called derivatives, New Orleans was still dry and the World Trade Center was still standing.</p><p>2038, a podcast from New York Magazine and Intelligencer, will explore 8 different visions of how we can expect to live in two decades. Each episode will feature an expert in subject areas from business to technology to politics to climate science and beyond, laying out a very particular vision of where we’ll be in twenty years—and who will then defend his or her predictions in conversation with Max Read and David Wallace-Wells.</p>

Raíces Nómades  show

Raíces Nómades Join Now to Follow

El programa de radio Dreyeckland de Friburgo, Alemania, en español tiene nuevo nombre. Raíces Nómades sustituye al anterior Poder Latino, recogiendo su experiencia de trabajo de más de 4 años en el ámbito de las radios libres. Raíces Nómades se reconstituye como un espacio colectivo de libre conexión, de experiencias móviles de lucha en formatos diversos: noticias, entrevistas, debates, expresiones artísticas, presentaciones, etc. Desde nuestra condición de inmigrantes latinoamericanos, híbridos y alterados, relanzamos la urgencia de reflexionar sobre nuestro patrimonio cultural e histórico intentando rescatar las vidas y experiencias que hay detrás de las versiones oficiales de la historia. Aquello que el poder ha negado, y sigue negando, para poder constituirse como tal. Contra ello, invitamos a crear nomadismos, llamamos a ser móviles, a no permanecer nunca en el mismo sitio en el que nos intentan fijar, a escapar de los estigmas, las clasificaciones y las injusticias, a construir nuestras propias pertenencias de manera libre y autónoma.
