  • America Pushes Back - What Next?
    Nov 23 2025

    Over Here, Over There looks back at the NO KINGS march and the Democratic election successes that followed, using both to outline a path forward for strengthening democratic norms, behaviours, and institutions that have been undermined by the Trump Administration. Not since the Civil War has the United States been so internally divided and under threat, even as foreign adversaries grow stronger and more audacious in their attempts to weaken the US and its allies. Claudia and Dan explore innovative strategies to counter these destructive forces—tactics that can be implemented now—and urge Democrats to elevate leaders who are bolder, more forward-thinking, and more effective in confronting Trump’s anti-democratic agenda.

    More ideas and strategies will be explored in future episodes, so stay tuned. For now, listen, engage, and join the conversation—and please don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share the episode with thoughtful people like yourselves.

    Stay for the bonus track: our adopted theme tune, “10%” by The Pleasure Bombs — now an anthem of the pro-democracy movement. Hear the song’s backstory in our previous episode, where we interviewed the band in Bari, Italy.

    You'll find The Pleasure Bombs' other great hits on Bandcamp. Just create an account and sign in, and enjoy tunes like 'Plunge into the Sea', 'The Lovelist Weed', and more.

    We took a short break, but we’ve been busy building new content. Much more is on the way. Visit our website at overhereoverthere.org for updates.

  • Another State Dinner? Really?
    Sep 17 2025

    Over Here, Over There co-host Dan Harris speaks with BBC Radio Wiltshire presenter Graham Rogers about the implications of Donald Trump's unprecedented second state visit to the UK, exploring the political dynamics, public opinion, and the expectations from both sides regarding trade and international relations. The risk is mainly on the UK side as it tries to score diplomatic points in the background, away from the pomp and pageantry on display before Trump. Will it be a risk worth taking? Tune in for the conversation, and please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe. Thank you!
