Each episode is an example of investigative journalism, prose, poetry, historical memory, reflection on struggle—and, above all, story. Stories that remind us of the struggles that have come before, and the ones we are living now. Stories about workers' struggles; resistance to dictatorship; alternative media; Indigenous and environmental organizing; and more. Eduardo Galeano-inspired vignettes for a Trump 2.0 world.

    Episode 64 | Remembering the Haitian Revolution
    Aug 29 2025
    In August 1791, slaves in the French colony of Saint-Domingue revolted, rising up by the thousands. Within ten days they've taken over the whole northern province. By the following year, they controlled a third of the colony. It was the spark that would ignite the Haitian revolution — a 13-year-long endeavour. Independence would finally come on January 1, 1804. But they would have to defeat three European countries to get there.

  • Episode 63 | El Salvador’s guerrilla Radio Venceremos

    Episode 63 | El Salvador’s guerrilla Radio Venceremos
    Aug 22 2025
    The 1980s were a time of war El Salvador. The government openly attacked its citizens. Repression. Murder. Massacres.

    Radio Venceremos broadcasted twice a day. And it was a voice of truth. A voice of reason. A voice of resistance amid the violence and the government repression and the military bloodshed. They spoke truth to power. They offered hope to the masses—the people praying for change. Praying that El Salvador could be different. That one day they would not have to live in fear.

    This is episode 63 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast produced by The Real News. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.

    You can check out exclusive pictures of the Radio Venceremos archive at the Museum of Word and Image in San Salvador here, on Michael Fox’s Patreon.

  • Episode 62 | Chile's Bulnes Bridge: Remembering the past, honoring the victims

    Episode 62 | Chile's Bulnes Bridge: Remembering the past, honoring the victims
    Aug 15 2025
    It is not a pretty bridge. Four lanes of busy traffic rush across Puente Bulnes during most hours. To the North, it buttresses against two overpasses that lead to a bustling highway. Below it, run the milky grey waters of the Mapocho River, after passing through downtown Santiago, Chile.

    50 years ago, in another time, this bridge was a favorite execution site for the military and police of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. Today, Aquiles Cordova will not let it be forgotten—ever.

    This is episode 62 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast produced by The Real News. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.

    You can check out exclusive pictures of Bulnes Bridge and the mural painting session there late last year here on Michael Fox's Patreon.
