Global Warning! Global Warning! Global Warning!
On July 21, 2020, AWKWORD launched the AWKWORD INTERVIEWS, a video podcast series featuring social justice warriors (and Hip Hop and hardcore legends), publishing the first of what would amount to about 50 interviews; the show kicked off with a bang, with white supremacist influencer Andy Ngo tweeting and publishing an article about AWKWORD’s relationship with his first guest, Portland DA Mike Schmidt.
Global Warning is the reboot, with a new style and format.
The AWKWORD INTERVIEWS series featured one-hour conversations, with a loose emphasis on abolitionist theory and practice; Global Warning with AWKWORD is a video podcast series featuring 15-minute conversations with experts on democracy and anti-fascism — connecting past to present and future, and local to global.
In addition to Mike Schmidt, the AWKWORD INTERVIEWS guests included Steven Donziger, Marianne Williamson, Christian Smalls, Sara Nelson, Radley Balko, Alec Karakatsanis, Scott Hechinger, Eliza Orlins, Olayemi Olurin, Samuel Sinyangwe, Kamau Franklin, Cerise Castle, Alex Vitale, Victoria Law, Dylan Rodriguez, Lord Goat (aka Goretex), and Danny Diablo, among others.
