Episode Details

In this episode, we talk with long time friend and comrade scott crow about mutual aid in the era of COVID19. We discuss hope, community, disaster response by just regular people (not bureaucrats, professional non-profits or "Captain Asspants" in the White House) and scott's new music label aptly titled "eMERGENCY hEARTS." We also play some music from the label.
