Global Warning launches soon!…
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 will feature 15-minute conversations, with a focus 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.
Potential Global Warning guests include Jared B. Ware, Jared A. Ball, Kate Ross, Colette Delawalla, Shane Burley, Teddy Wilson, Laura Jedeed, Matt Cameron, Devin Burghart, Amy Cooter, Samantha Kutner, Stanislav Vyotsky, Heidi Kitrosser, Mike Wendling, Christopher Deutsch, AJ Bauer, Scott Campbell, Eric King, Michael Gould-Wartofsky, Nathan Kalman-Lamb, Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Elizabeth Yeampierre, Dean Spade, Melina Abdullah, Allison Gill (Mueller She Wrote) and representatives of CRIMETHINC, Desiree Alliance and 5051 Movement, among others.
