About this episode

In this episode of Guerrilla History,  we present a crossover conversation we did with our friend Sina from The East Is a Podcast on the topic of Radical Independent Media As Anti-Imperialist Practice!  This topic stems from a talk Henry gave for the Friends of Socialist China, and will be continued in a forthcoming episode on Publishing As Anti-Imperialist Practice featuring several Editorial Board members of Iskra Books.  Be sure to Subscribe to Sina's show (links below), and also subscribe to our freshly made YouTube channel, which will begin uploading material very soon!
