#BlackLivesMatter revolt - Bonus interview with Whitney Kahn from DSA

There's no panel this week, instead we have a special bonus interview with Whitney Kahn from the Democratic Socialists of America about the #BlackLivesMatter demonstrations against police brutality. We also get to talk about Trump, Bernie, and the need for a democratic socialist party in America.

Left Inside is a weekly podcast offering a critical look at news, politics and culture from the left. It is produced by members of RISE to stay entertained, informed and a little bit sane during lockdown.

Thanks again to Galway-based band Turnstiles for letting us use their song “Wasting Away” for this episode. More of their music can be found here

See you next week, cheers!
