The Revolutionsts: How The Counterculture Turned to Terror
The Weather Underground, The Baader-Meinhof Group, The Red Brigade, Carlos the Jackal, The Japanese Red Army. The counterculture has always had a dark side; it has not always been peace and love. There have been bad actors, casualties, the needle and the damage done - and in this episode, we dive into the world of revolutionary and political violence, exploring how radical groups emerged from countercultural movements and evolved into what my guest Jason Burke describes as Revolutionists Jason is an award-winning British author and journalist, currently serving as the International Security Correspondent for The Guardian. He is widely regarded as one of the preeminent experts on modern radicalisation terrorism, and global security, reporting from hotspots around the world. His latest book,The Revolutionists: The Story of the Extremists Who Hijacked the 1970s, is a sweeping history of the period 1968–1979, a decade defined by a global explosion of secular, leftist political violence. The Revolutionists were the orphans of the 1960s, young people who grew up in the shadow of the 1950s’ existential vacuum of consumerism and the 1960s’ idealistic overload. When the student protests of 1968 failed to topple the global order, a radicalised minority concluded that the "System" was too resilient for peaceful protest. It's an incredible story - and connects the counterculture with events taking place in the Middle East right now. --- If you’d like to get involved and contribute to this crazy endeavour, join our Patreon HERE Thank you to everyone who’s signed up to support the show —that really does mean a lot.

21st Century Mutoid Man: Joe Rush - Part 2
This is the second part of our conversation with Joe Rush, the initiator, mentor, and driving force behind The Mutoid Waste Company, that extraordinary countercultural endeavour to turn the waste of our industrial civilisation into art, performance, street theatre - and a way of life. If you haven’t heard the first part, you might want to start here: https://bureauoflostculture.podbean.com/e/20th-century-mutoid-man-part-1/ This time, we covered a huge amount of ground — Joe's personal story, the birth of the Mutoids and the UK counterculture of the ’80s and ’90s: squatting. We hear about the Peace Convoy, the Battle of the Beanfield, the free festival scene, the warehouse party scene, and how those worlds were pushed into exile in Europe, where they helped spark whole new cultural movements of festivals, parties, and creative rebellion including 'Tanghenge', the repurposing of abandoned Soviet MIG fighter jets after the fall of The Berlin Wall and much more.. ---- Thank you to everyone who’s signed up to support the show on Patreon—that really does mean a lot.
