GUERRILLA HISTORY
About this episode

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we present something a bit different than usual!  We recently appeared on Lee Camp's program Behind the Headlines to discuss history as propaganda, moving beyond capitalism, and much more.  Here, we provide a roughly 50 minute introduction to the topics and reflection on what we discussed with Lee before we include our interview on Lee's show in its entirety.  A very fun interview, be sure to check out Behind the Headlines if you enjoyed how it went!

Lee Camp is a writer, comedian, podcaster, news journalist and news commentator.  Among other things, he was noted for hosting RT America's weekly comedy news show Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp before RT America was shut down last year.  You can keep up with his latest work, including new episodes of Behind the Headlines at his website leecamp.com.  You can also follow him on twitter @LeeCamp.
