Stories of Resistance is an award-winning podcast featuring vignettes pulled from journalist Michael Fox’s 20 years of interviews, research, and reporting from across the Americas. Each week, we’ll bring you stories that remind us of the struggles that have come before, and the ones we are living now. Inspiration for dark times.
Each episode is an example of investigative journalism, prose, poetry, historical memory, reflection on struggle—and, above all, story. Stories about workers’ struggles; resistance to dictatorship; alternative media; Indigenous and environmental organizing; and more. Eduardo Galeano-inspired vignettes for a Trump 2.0 world.
Stories of Resistance is co-produced by The Real News Network and Global Exchange.
