   Episode 2: The campaign to keep The Library Vintage thriving and vibrant

   This episode is based around an enlightening conversation with Banah el Ghadbanah, communications and social media manager at The Library Vintage in Fayetteville, Arkansas.The Library Vintage is part vintage store, and part community space. It serves as a safe space for the queer and trans community, as well as serving the larger community in Northwest Arkansas as an inclusive place to gather and learn, and it has a crafting area for people of all ages and a free section.Ghadbanah discusses why the Library Vintage decided not to apply for non-profit status under the current repressive regulations in America. They have hosted over a hundred events and collaborated with community partners on dozens more. The events include Queer sex-ed classes, documentary screenings, anti-oppressive teach-ins, community meetings, creative reuse workshops, book clubs, plant clubs, drag shows, mutual aid fundraisers, anti-Walmart craft nights, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color craft nights, top surgery fundraisers, fundraisers for community members facing deportation, and hosted other groups who put on poetry readings, Nakba day commemorations, art therapy workshops, sober recovery groups, knitting nights and more.In their free section where they offer Plan B, COVID tests, HIV tests, overdose prevention supplies, shoes, clothes, and more. They also have a mutual cash jar that supports houseless folks in the area. Despite their best efforts, they have had to reach out for public support through GoFundMe.

   Episode 1: Talking community and post-Chumbawamba music with Danbert Nobacon

   This conversation with Danbert Nobacon focuses on the themes of community, the importance of play, which manifests itself theatrically in his music, and what an artist can expect to achieve through their art. Danbert reached the height of his fame as a member of Chumbawamba, but he continues to create high-quality thought-provoking protest music with the Axis of Dissent, and during this chat he delves into the ideas that provoked him to write some of his post-Chumbawamba songs, such his time spent studying children’s play in college inspiring “Crazy Demons Play” or his interest in the social evolution of humans inspiring “Bringing Up B.B.B.B.E.” Although the conversation touches on some dark topics, Danbert maintains an optimistic outlook believing that the positive spirit of community can overcome the fascist elements that are currently vying for control of our lives.
