This year, we've put out over 50 episodes, almost double what we did in Season 1, and we learned a lot.
From interviews with Ohio organizers/farmers to political thinkers online to former Black Panther Party and Black Liberation army members; to breakdowns of 101 topics like PROPERTY, CAPITALISM, and beyond.
Now we want to reflect and thank you all for listening!

In this episode, we sit down with members of the DFW Defense Committee to break down the state and federal repression facing local organizers and community members. We begin with who the defendants are and their relationship to the defense work, then move into what’s happening on the ground beyond the state’s narrative.
Our guests reflect on the lives and commitments of the defendants before their arrests and trace how state repression has materially shaped their lives and the broader community. They outline major takeaways from this moment, including how the state is revealing its hand, and explain the differences between state and federal charges.
We also explore how prosecutors, the DOJ, ICE, and the media have misled the public, what defense committee work actually looks like, and the moments of clarity that have emerged throughout this process. As the episode closes, our guests share what support is most needed for the defendants and the committee, followed by final reflections from Hannah and Xavier.
This conversation offers a grounded, first-hand look at criminalization, solidarity, and the work required to hold each other through targeted repression.

In this expansive conversation, writer and creator Prince Shakur traces the evolution of his political, creative, and personal journeys from being a precocious kid entering college early to becoming a sharp, imaginative voice on YouTube and in contemporary literature. Prince reflects on the early days of his channel, how experimenting online shaped his storytelling, and how technical growth allowed him to more fully realize his creative vision.
Across the episode, we examine the pressures of the attention economy, the shifting terrain of journalism and truth-telling, and the responsibilities that come with documenting one’s own life. Prince breaks down the framework and goals behind his memoir, the role primary sources played in shaping his archive, and what he is exploring in his new essay collection. He outlines how hope, discipline, and political intuition shape his decisions, what he looks for in liberatory or emergent spaces, and how he navigates communities that fall short of the futures he imagines.

I (Prince) sat down with my co-host, Jordan, to talk about how they came into politics — not as theory first, but through life, loss, and the chaos of 2020.
We talked about what it means to get assigned Marx by a professor, their upbringing and early anti-authoritarianism. About being radicalized by police violence during the George Floyd protests. Jordan opens up about the moments that shaped him: studying revolutionary texts for the first time, organizing on the ground, and trying to make sense of what martyrdom means.

We sit down to break down what actually happened at the White House’s recent “anti-fa roundtable” — what was discussed, what it reveals about government priorities, and what it could mean for activists and organizers on the ground.
We talk through how this moment fits into a longer history of surveillance and repression on Turtle Island. The conversation looks at both the risks ahead and how movements can prepare, stay grounded, and keep building power.

In this conversation, we sit down with an organizer and fighter from the internationalist front in Myanmar to explore the lived realities of the Spring Revolution and the autonomous women’s struggle rising from within it. Moving from poetry to political analysis, we discuss what it means to take up internationalism in practice, not as an idea, but as a commitment carved through shared danger, discipline, and deep love for the people.
We trace the formation of the AIF (Anti-Fascist Internationalist Front), the roots of women’s autonomous power in the hills, and the political and cultural contradictions that shape collective life under war. We talk about comradeship, grief, and joy as the emotional infrastructure of revolution, the role of art and memory, and how different cultural understandings of gender and liberation collide, transform, and re-form through struggle.
This episode is a meditation on building political consciousness in motion, forging international solidarity without romanticization, and creating structures capable of holding not only power, but freedom itself

In this in-depth conversation with Ashanti Alston — former Black Panther, political prisoner, and life long learner — we explore the radical meaning of life, death, and liberation. Ashanti reflects on the personal and collective sacrifices demanded by struggle, the weight of “social death,” and the spiritual grounding found in honoring ancestors.
Drawing from his years in the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army, Ashanti discusses the challenges of underground life, the lessons of past resistance movements, and the ongoing need for ideological diversity within revolutionary spaces. He shares insights on embracing anarchism through an Indigenous and communal lens, doing the internal work necessary for healing, and building movements rooted in love, accountability, and inclusion.
This episode offers both historical depth and practical wisdom — a reflection on what it means to live, resist, and build freedom together in the face of empire.

Why do I identify as an anarchist—specifically, a Black anarchist? I share my journey from early organizing and labor work to international protest. From the Black Panther Party’s survival programs to my time at Standing Rock, in France during Nuit Debout, and traveling through the Philippines, I’ve seen how mutual aid, decolonization, and direct action can transform our understanding of freedom.✏️ What radical moment shaped your politics?

In this reupload of a collaboration between The Dugout Podcast and In the Mix Prisoner Podcast, we sit down with historian and organizer Garrett Felber to explore the life, politics, and legacy of Martin Sostre. From defense committees and anarchist theory to gender politics and prison abolition, this conversation traces Sostre’s journey through incarceration, radicalization, and post-release activism. We reflect on the lessons his struggles offer for today’s movements—on prefigurative politics, horizontal organizing, and the fight for liberation inside and outside prison walls.

It’s been a year since Trump’s return to the White House. We look at the chaos of his second term—from attacks on birthright citizenship to sweeping emergency powers and foreign policy shocks. We break down the fallout at home: labor pushback, a fractured left, and the rise of fascist movements. Most of all, we ask what resilience, solidarity, and new forms of anti-fascist organizing look like in this moment.
