Stories of anti-Nazi resistance are more relevant now than ever.
Molly Crabapple is a visual artist, writer, and aesthetic fixture of radical social movements for the last decade-plus. Molly got her start as the house artist for New York’s most notorious nightclub. She became a journalist sketching the frontlines of Occupy Wall Street, before covering, with words and art, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Lebanese snipers, Guantanamo Bay, the US-Mexican border, Pennsylvania prisoners, New York cabbies, Greek refugee camps, and the ravages of hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
We dig in with her about her new best-selling book Here Where We Live is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund. Once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe, the Bund was secular, socialist, and uncompromisingly antiZionist. The Bundists fought for dignity and equality, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine but “here where we live.”
Molly shares how this story lives in her lineage, the unsexy but beautiful work of a decade in the archives, and what this story teaches us about the fraught but necessary work of building coalition as we fight for a better world.

It's about bearing with-ness, not bearing witness.
We have the privilege of hopping on the line with brilliant poet, artist, and cultural organizer aja monet. A longtime guiding light of the poetry and spoken word community, aja's debut album, when the poems do what they do, was nominated for a Grammy Best Spoken Word Poetry Album in 2024. She joins the show to talk about leading the way toward Black cultural solidarity with Palestine, the mentors that have poured into her, and her brief stay at the center of Chicago's hip hop renaissance in the early 2010s.

From time to time, when a Chicago artist drops a new project that the AirGo crew is vibing with, we get them in the mix for a special listening party episode! Using a few of the project's tracks as jumping off points for the conversation, we dive deep into process, creativity, and growth.
We're excited to hop into Trench Baby Turned Farmer, the new project from artist, farmer, and Englewood native Heavy Crownz.
Heavy talks with the guys about how he defines "the trenches," the social codes and beauty of the ball courts, and the healing power of getting your hands in the soil.
