Episode 47: Minding the Darkness, Minding the Light w/Peter Dale Scott (Part 9)
🕑 Added 2022-06-01 00:49:36 +0000 UTCThis is Part 9 of Minding the Darkness, Minding the Light—our oral history series with Professor Peter Dale Scott. He is the poet, historian, and iconoclastic creator of parapolitics and deep politics. We continue talking about key figures of America's parapolitical history, including:
· Donald Freed—prominent activist and co-writer of Executive Action
· Carl Oglesby—major SDS figure and author of The Yankee and Cowboy War
· Warren Hinkle—publisher of the legendary magazine, Ramparts
· Huey Newton and Jane Fonda also make appearances in this episode
With apologies, this episode was recorded while a team of workers outside Peter’s home were apparently trying to drill to the center of the Earth and/or operate some kind of massive circular saw. We did our best to clean this up as well as we could.
The great Ben Howard should be rejoining us again for the next installment in this series!
Special thanks to Casey Moore for the episode art. Extra special thanks to Dana Chavarria for the sound engineering!

Can’t agree that Harper was Canada’s Trump. Máxime Bernier is more like it, but he’s definitely been kept on the margins although he had some influence on the last general election

A shame about the sound, he was on this day.

I pay $10/mo to allow me to be a crybabby and I want studio audio in every minute of every episode. I will take a warm bath now to sooth myself. And play the next episode.

It wasn't Peter's mic, it was the construction going on right outside his house... It was a conundrum whether to try and use the audio at all, but since the conversation covers some important issues, we just decided to go with it and do our best.

Peter was mic'ed so poorly I gave up after 26 min. 😞
