Ungagged!: Recent Episodes
Team Ungagged!
Two brilliant essays from different perspectives on the question of how do we interact with the current political far right cosplays in our parliaments and on our streets?
Ray, an academic and activist explains the current ground we find ourselves on, suggests networks we can get involved with, and how we meet the threat of the fascists in our communities; and Willie Miller's Moustache on pushing back against the tide of political sewage spewing from the representatives of the far right in our political spaces.

How do we counter and defeat the encroaching fascism, Reform , Restore and the massive swing towards illiberalism across the UK, and indeed the world? This series of podcasts is about giving you -us - ideas of how we can act in order to halt the current fall into hatred, intolerance, division and pogrom and reverse this regression into the worst aspects of human society.
On this podcast Sam Hamad, a Senior News Editor with The New Arab and an historian specialising in illiberal ideologies, shares his thoughts on recent political machinations until this point in time (I'll add a link to an article on his thesis mentioned in this). And Colin Turbett from Ukraine Solidarity Campaign Scotland on what Trump, Farage Tommy Robinson and elements of the left have in common, and how we counter these narratives.

Damien Donnelly outlines a shift in his political support toward the Scottish Green Party, driven by a belief that they are the only party offering a principled defense of the LGBTQ+ community against rising far-right influence.
Sam Hamad on his lifelong commitment to Scottish Independence, which he views as his election priority. He supports a strong Scottish Green vote to act as a progressive "anchor," ensuring the SNP sticks to a radical social-democratic agenda. He expresses his deep distrust of Keir Starmer, specifically citing Labour's foreign policy regarding the Middle East (Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran) as a deal-breaker.
Graham Campbell outlines a strategic vision for the SNP to break the constitutional "logjam" by securing a majority, which he argues would force Westminster to grant a Section 30 order for an independence referendum and makes predictions for after the election.
Maggie Chapman emphasizes that Scotland is at a crossroads, facing a cost-of-living crisis and the immediate physical threats of the climate crisis. The Greens position themselves as the "radicals" necessary to make hope possible through bold action.
Who will persuade you? Five voices give their views.
Richie Venton, representing the Scottish Socialist Party, delivers a passionate call to action for the upcoming elections. He urges voters to choose the SSP on the list vote (the peach-colored form) to elect a team of "socialist fighters" dedicated to representing the millions, not the millionaires.
Neil speaks to Cllr Graham Campbell a long time contributor to Ungagged, talk about the budget just agreed at Glasgow City Council where he is an SNP Councillor, plus the upcoming Holyrood elections and it's projected party balance.

The last of (the current) story of our previous Royal Corespondent, who has expanded in to reporting many other areas; especially as here on Ungagged we are anti-monarichists!
Anyhoo, what becomes of Prick and what plans do the gang have for the BHC06. If we did trailers you'd know all this already but we don't. So you'll have to listen to the whole lot. It's worth it!

Computers, artificial intelligence, and machine learning carry reputations as great equalizers free of human error and false judgement, yet these devices require inputs from humans to function and therefore reflect the prejudices of their programmers, Scholars such as Kathleen herself and the American sociologist Ruha Benjamin explain this phenomenon in their writing and organizing. Here Kathleen details the dynamics of a design world dominated by a select group of elites, the promise of decentralized AI in creating a more equitable tech sector, and the importance of people around the world creating and expressing themselves in their languages. Outro track Shinkansen 2 by Lost Integrity
Computers have taken over the world as one of my old high school teachers once said. Indeed this here podcast wouldn’t be possible without them. And we become more conscious of their role in our lives as the group of new technologies collectively sitting under the “digital” label pull greater scrutiny of their impact on our everyday interactions. We in North America and Europe talk about these effects of social media flexing on suburban white kids and our coworkers at the water cooler, but we don’t talk about the effects on kids in middle and lower-income countries. The author Amitav Ghosh wrote of Syrian refugee children who believed they’d be safe in rickety boats crossing the Mediterranean so long as their phones were charged. On a macro level, the digital space has set new stages for economic development, especially on the African continent which has served as a laboratory for global development policies for decades. Computerization, and our guest’s specialty machine learning, will play pivotal roles in the next century of societal change across Africa, and questions of whom that technology serves and who owns the digital space will be pivotal in ensuring equitable access.

European politics constituted a small blip on the radar for Americans in the late 20th century. National elections and popular referendums got five minutes of fame stateside before vanishing into Wikipedia lists. The 2016 Brexit vote forced Americans beyond the political class to recognize that events across the pond can cause worldwide blowback, and a new consciousness of the happenings around the world emerged in the years since the United Kingdom's historic decision. But six years isn't much time to become acquainted with another country's political nuances, especially when so much analysis of political maneuvers abroad are framed through an American lens in corporate media. Today we gain an inside look at U.K. politics from someone who's lived and acted in both the American and British scenes. National secretary for SNP Socialists and the women’s officer for the Aberdeen Independence Movement Kat Carey joins WorldBeat to discuss her time growing up on a farm in Wisconsin, her experiences in the armed forces, and the factors leading to her family's relocation across the Atlantic. She holds an MSc in International and European Politics from the University of Edinburgh and co-hosts the Talking Sense podcast.
COVID-19 stalled efforts to campaign for a new Scottish independence vote, but the dream hasn't died. Voters may not think of the European Union when they cast the ballot, but the organization plays a pivotal role in Scotland's future. Kat argues EU membership is the best conduit to avoid becoming a client state of the United States, China, or any other world power.

Part 2 of the Javoen Byrd interview
Both the Hawk Foundation and Awodi Drumming push multicultural education as a means of empowerment and Javoen has transformed the lives of black American schoolchildren, prisoners, and others as they learn about their heritage and find a new lease on life. He details some of these stories and discusses the role black women can play in this effort to reclaim black American self-determination, how to meet people where they are in education, the limits of some of the lefts tactics, and how sharing the truth changes minds more effectively than browbeating from the ivory tower.
Part 1 of WorldBeat with guest Javoen Byrd . A new generation of black American activism has emerged in the last ten years as movements like Black Lives Matter broke into the public discourse. These causes have brought wider attention to such issues of police corruption and discrimination in housing. But beyond the political realm, many black Americans are also digging into their history and finding a new sense of pride in their heritage, and one area of growing enthusiasm is in reclaiming spiritual practices from the Continent. Some of these folks felt particularly drawn to the community and healing aspects of such beliefs as the COVID-19 pandemic threw the whole world into the meat grinder. Porsche Little, a Brooklyn-based artist, diviner, and aborisha told Vox that she has received a huge increase in requests for divinations and readings throughout the pandemic. Beyond the personal fulfillment of these explorations, could embracing African spiritual practices hold value in the liberation struggles of black Americans? How does this rising enthusiasm for these beliefs intersect with the explosion of anti-racist activism in black communities of the past decade? Ethnomusicologist and the founder of The Hawk Foundation for Research and Education in African & African American Culture Javoen Byrd sits down with George on this episode of WorldBeat. Part 1 details Javoen's early forays into music, his love of the drum, and how he came to be an initiated Isese practitioner as well as the history of African spiritual practices in slave resistance, the Haitian revolution, and how the stigma against such traditions carries forward into today both among African-Americans and populations still on the African continent.

How do we restore trust in healthcare amidst a pandemic and culture that has, rightly or wrongly, demonized public health institutions? Myles shoots on the importance of transparency in healthcare towards rebuilding that rapport and how changing incentives in the system to focus on preventative and community health can achieve better outcomes.

Much coverage of U.S. healthcare workers during the Covid-19 outbreak paints a doom and gloom picture of burnout, high turnover, and failing systems. While there may be truth to these narratives, Myles explains the experience can be more nuanced than is presented. He shoots on the role of leadership in creating a lower pressure environment, the ways to create that effective leadership, and the pressures middle managers are subjected to that remain hidden from many outside accounts.

(1/3) Almost two years into the COVID-19 pandemic and Americans can’t seem to catch a break as new variants emerge and policy debates over lockdowns, school closures, and vaccine mandates dominate coverage. It’s pretty daunting for folks on the outside as we struggle to keep up with the breakneck pace of change, but what about the folks on the inside? Popular coverage of healthcare workers has been as hot and cold as leftover lasagna. From being hailed as essential workers and heroes to being demonized as liars and pill pushers and everything in between, it’s important to remember that these people are human. They have thoughts, feelings, and emotional responses to the crisis just like the rest of us, and today we’ll highlight one such worker’s experience in the field and the strategies being implemented to provide quality care both for their patients, and themselves. Former nurse manager and founder of Myles Parilla Consulting Myles Parilla joins WorldBeat to talk about his upbringing in the Philippines, the impact of his father's entrepreneurial mind on his outlook towards nursing leadership, and his journey through nursing into the leadership consulting world.

"Globalization is a force that touches all of us. Beyond cheap plastics from China and a diverse range of grub hubs in Columbia City, borders are more permeable than ever. What lessons can we learn about these dynamics as COVID-19's worst bouts fade into memory? Dr. Anderson wraps up our time together with this very question. Intro music by Batata K1ng Outro track "Nowhere Man" by Faddy Datty
Dr. Anderson spent a chunk of her career in many countries abroad, but her time in Mozambique proved to be some of the most impactful of her life. She shares her experience providing medical care in a war-torn country struggling to find its feet after independence and why the betterment of health outcomes for people in every country benefit those of us living in the heart of the empire.

Dr. Anderson shoots on the disservices inflicted on black and brown communities in the U.S. both historically and today and how trust in the healthcare system can be restored in these populations. Intro/outro music by Batata K1ng https://www.batatak1ng.com/home
"COVID-19 rocked the world in a way few other events could. International structures long taken for granted crumbled as nation states struggled to confront this novel virus and the chaos it brought. Everything from supply chains to migration policy to the reliability of scientific institutions came under fire, but no sector has taken more blows than healthcare. Americans were shocked at the sights of U.S. healthcare workers sporting garbage bags in April, 2020 as we learned of personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages. Vaccination itself became a politicized issue as government officials touted or condemned the vaccine based on their party affiliation. New revelations about the National Institutes of Health (NIH)'s funding of gain of function research casts new doubt on the origins of the virus and the implications of future such projects. It's a ton to dissect, and we're gonna need some more hands in the med room for this one. Dr. Nancy Anderson, retired Associate Professor in the Department of Midwifery at Bastyr University joins WorldBeat to discuss her entry into the healthcare industry, the tragic death of her father at the hands of a racist healthcare system, and why black and brown populations are still so gunshy about interacting with American medical institutions.
