Season 1 Episode 1 - Radical Introductions

About this episode

The first episode introduces the podcast and discusses the significance of Detroit in the current social context.

On our very first episode of Radicals for Good, we give a radical introduction to our podcast and host. We discuss the history and current moment of Detroit and why we believe hosting this podcast in the most radical city in the United States is timely and necessary. And why we believe it’s important to share this podcast in this moment ‘on the clock of the world’.
