About this episode

The episode discusses the life and legacy of Ralph James, featuring memories and insights from Kevin Donnellon.

Today I speak to friend of the podcast Kevin Donnellon about the death in early 2026 of our good friend Ralph James. Ralph was a political animal, a superb intellect, a lovely guy, and a community activist. We chat about our memories of him, his lifetime of campaigning, his legacy, and the current and future condition of the Political Left, of which Ralph was a champion. We also discuss Ralph’s unique quirks and eccentricities and recite a few funny stories!
