Talking Radical Radio

What the Talking Radical Radio (three words in three fontsTalking Radical books do for historical struggles in northern Turtle Island, Talking Radical Radio does for struggles going on today. In these in-depth interviews, you get to hear grassroots activists engaged in a broad range of social change work in communities across the country talk about what they’re doing, how they’re doing it, and why they’re doing it. You get an opportunity to listen and to learn — about aspects of the world around us that are made visible through these activists’ struggles; about choices, successes, and failures in their organizing that can inform your own; and about possibilities for collaboration and solidarity.

Leave a comment

I had the pleasure of having KW’s Alysha Brilla on my show Wednesday June 25th. Alysha is in the midst of a breakout year where she wrote, performed and produced her debut album “In My Head” on her independent record label Sunny Jam Records, and was nominated for a Juno this year in the Adult Contemporary category. We talk about Alysha’s musical influences, living in KW, the commercialization of music, how she quit her LA record label, women in music, and her trip to the Junos!

Check her website to watch all her cool music videos, buy a copy of her album, and find out where you can catch her playing next! AlyshaBrilla.com
