Welcome to Everything is a Riot, a podcast where we reclaim "riot" as both an act of celebration and disruption. In this series, we dissect the everyday structures of power through an anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and anti-racist lens, challenging the systems that bind us and reimagining what freedom truly looks like. We’ll explore how resistance is not only about confrontation, but also about joy, community, and the creative disruption of the status quo. Because in a world where power seeks to control, a riot—whether born of joy or defiance—becomes a vital act of reclamation.
