Hosted by musician and journalist Ryan Harvey, Hope Dies Last brings together social movement organizers, independent journalists, protest artists and political thinkers for unique conversations about the present, the past and the future.
Soundtracks from the Militant 70's: The Revolutionary Music of Paredon Records
When Detroit-born singer and organizer Barbara Dane attended the 1967 Festival de la Cancion Politica in Havana it sparked a bold idea: she would launch a grassroots record label to curate music from the world's revolutionary anti-colonial movements. Thus was born Paredon Records. Forget everything you've learned about the protest music of the 1960's and tune in as Ryan and Riot-Folk alum turned public radio producer Mark Gunnery speak with Barbara about the vision behind Paredon, the incredible artists she collaborated with and her defiant journey as a blacklisted leftist musician in the Cold War.

The Violent Rise of Narendra Modi
Originally recorded in early April, Ryan is joined by activist academics Sam Agarwal and Smriti Upadhyay to discuss the historic farmers protests in India and the authoritarian government led by Narendra Modi. From overseeing anti-Muslim pogroms as the governor of Gujarat State in 2002 to becoming the country's Prime Minister in 2014, Modi is often labeled the Donald Trump of India. But the movement behind him has deep organizational roots and a complex network of civil society organizations, corporate financiers and social media giants aiding and abetting his regime. While the episode was recorded before the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in India, it provides some of the context which might help explain this terrifying moment.
