In this episode of The Dugout, we outline our vision for the podcast, what Black anarchism means to us, and how future episodes will tackle issues of anti-colonialism, radical politics, and local activism. We also dive into Columbus news, covering Ohio AG Yost’s Blue Ribbon Task Force and the rise of copaganda in local policing. Additionally, we provide a radical analysis of the film “Judas and the Black Messiah”, examining its portrayal of Black resistance and the legacy of Fred Hampton.
