On Episode 8 we talk with rapper, podcaster and activist, Sole. As a longtime fan of his podcast, The Solecast, it was great to have him on the guest side of the mic to talk about, hip hop, the development of his revolutionary politics and what it takes to stay positive.

Two Paychecks Podcast #8: Talking the Struggle with Anarchist Hip Hop Artist and Podcaster, Sole

I've been following Kelly Dessaint's long-running zine series Piltdownlad for some time, so it's a privilege to have him on the show. His zine series, Behind the Wheel, began as way for him to cover the tech industry in San Francisco by driving for Uber and Lyft. He descended pretty far into the belly of the sleazy tech beast, from shutting down Ayn Rand-reading tech bros to crashing a worker advocacy conference that didn't invite any workers. He tells us about these adventures and why he's now a proud cab driver.

We got to talk to Danbert Nobacon of Chumbawamba about being an Anarcho Punk in England during it’s heyday. He gets into the Miner’s Strike and the Thatcher Era, squatting and using pranks to bring down The Man. He also talks about what it was like to be an Anarchist in a band that reached superstardom and has a lot to say about current politics.

Two Paychecks Podcast #6: Chatting with Danbert Nobacon from Chumbawamba

The Mattole Forest is the largest remaining unprotected, old growth Douglas Fir forest in California. By unprotected, I mean by The State, because it has been protected by dedicated and unwavering forest defenders who've held it down since 1998! They've vigilantly built blockades, put their lives on the line and vigilantly halted any underhanded attempts by Forest Service and the Humboldt Redwood Company to log our glorious wild lands. Hear activist Pluto, tell harrowing stories of defenders in tripods being attacked by logging company goons and coming out victorious! Marvel at close-up encounters with mountain lions! And you can do it, too! Tune in!
