the state we're in

it’s monday again and i have discovered a fabulous new radio show. it is called ‘the state we’re in’ , comes from the netherlands and basically interviews people directly related to human right issues. it’s every week, monday at 1am and everytime i listen to it, i’m like OMG HAVE TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS.
this week includes a false guru, blackface and persian poetry )

radio: the state we're in, real life: news

Where can I listen to this? This sounds amazing! I want to listen to it tonight if it's on tonight.

Also, a little girl came up to him and pointed to him and called him zwarte piet. followed by "Why are you ruining Christmas?"
I don't know whether to laugh or cry? But it's so interesting to see and hear about the differing cultural reactions to issues like this.

okay, it comes on cbc radio one (99.1 FM; right before virgin radio on your radio dial) on mondays at 1am. but you can always listen to them online!

and yes, that's what i thought about the zwarte piet too! it's so crazy that people just go along with it. david sedaris wrote a little essay about christmas traditions in different cultures, and here is a recording of it. super interesting.
