Episode 0: Introduction

Antipod

Welcome to Antipod: A Radical Geography Podcast and Sound Collective! This is Episode 0... In our initial episode, the six members of the Antipod Sound Collective introduce themselves, describe their research, discuss the origins of the podcast and the collective, and share our intentions for Season 1 of the podcast. The Antipod Sound Collective was conceived at Antipode’s sixth Institute for the Geographies of Justice (IGJ), which was held in Montréal/Tiohtiá:ke on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka land. As we discuss in this episode, our time together at IGJ included a visit to Kanehsatà:ke. You can learn more about the history of Kanehsatà:ke by watching Alanis Obomsawin's landmark 1993 film, "Kanehsatà:ke: 270 Years of Resistance," available for free on YouTube courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yP3srFvhKs You can learn more about the IGJ and the Antipode Foundation at the Antipode Foundation's website. https://antipodefoundation.org/ https://antipodefoundation.org/institute-for-the-geographies-of-justice/ Our theme music is "It’s Not Jazz," by Tronx.
