A New History of Radicalism, Organizing, and the Jewish Bund plus AI Robs Artists Again with Molly Crabapple

About this episode

Molly Crabapple discusses her new book on the Jewish Bund and her fight against AI art theft.

Hello! Today, we have on a guest we’re very excited about: Molly Crabapple who has a new book coming out called Here Where We Live is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund . We talk about the years she put into this book, which required her to learn Yiddish and travel the world, the realities of identity, what lessons the Bund has for today, and then we talk about Molly’s fight against AI, which has been stealing her illustrations for years. One of the best episodes we’ve done in a while so I hope you’ll take a listen! This is a public episode.
