Socrates & Ron Gross – “Socrates of Athens, in Conversation”
July 11, 2025, 4:19 a.m.
Socrates’ Way: Seven Masterkeys to Using Your Mind to the Utmost
Socrates of Athens, who lived before the Common Era, is respected as one of the greatest independent thinkers of all time. Socrates himself refused to be recognized as a teacher. Instead, Plato, his well-known student and reporter of Socrates’ dialogues, tells us he asked to be seen as a “midwife of ideas.” Socrates’ passion to achieve self-understanding, and the proper ways to live, continues to be studied and emulated to this day.
Socrates recommends “The Trojan Women,” by Euripides. Ron Gross recommends “The Clouds,” by Aristophanes.

July 11, 2025, 12:53 a.m.
This week on the Global Research News Hour we are taking on major crimes of disinformation in Western media regarding the 21 month assault on the people of Gaza, which conveniently distorts it to the point here Israelis are the victims and the Palestinians who die by the tens of thousands are all Hamas. How is this task continuously achieved in the age of information?
In our first half hour, we hear from reporter Robert Inlakesh about the state of censorship in the conflict currently. And in our second half hour, Jason Toney of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East shows up to introduce listeners to the latest publication from The Breach entitled When Genocide Wasn’t News: How Canadian Media Covered up the Destruction of Gaza

Raymond Tyler - Radical Comics
July 7, 2025, 8:21 p.m.
Raymond Tyler is a comics writer from Appalachian Georgia currently residing in Nyack, NY. He’s a longtime social justice and labor activist, bridging “history from below” with comics. Raymond’s most recent work includes the horror comic series Amputation Capital and Black Coal and Red Bandanas (PM Press, 2024).
In the early twentieth century, strikes and union battles were common in industrial centers throughout the US. But nothing compared to the class warfare of the West Virginia mine wars. The origins of this protracted rebellion were in the dictatorial rule of the coal companies over the proud, multiracial, immigrant and native-born miners of Appalachia.
Raymond Tyler spoke at the 2025 Upstate Anarchist Book Fair, held May 3rd and 4th in Binghamton, NY.
The event was sponsored and hosted by PM Press: https://pmpress.org

Buck Wild (the real one, sorry!)
July 7, 2025, 5:25 p.m.
Look, we tried to keep it tidy—but the Revolutionary Era was messy, and so were our notes. Buck Wild is the bonus miniseries where we dust off Eric’s overachiever historian scribbles and serve up all the juicy bits that didn’t make it into the main episodes.
We’re talking Washington through John Quincy Adams—forgotten drama, myth-busting chaos, and presidential side quests we just couldn’t leave behind. It’s the final cannonball into the powdered-wig pool, and we’re making a splash.
History may be written by the victors, but the leftovers? They’re way more fun.
