Politics & Cultural Influence
Update: 2023-12-31
Description
Throughout 2023 we have asked podcast guests if there are any cultural artefacts or events that they consider particularly influential on their politics.
This episode brings together responses from historian Mary Muldowney, anarchist activist Gregor Kerr, Republican activist Des Dalton, author Michael Flavin, historian Brian Hanley, and Irish Anarchist Network activists Nestor and Saornil. Below, in the order they are mentioned, are our guest’s choices for politically influential books, films, music, events and media.
