Here is my conversation with Al, the host of the political radio show Michael used to call into as a little kid. It was fascinating learning about his work and discovering overlaps with Michael's work and political projects.

Thank you Patrons!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate

Remineralize the Earth

This is bringing back so many memories of the anti-nuclear and political landscape in the Pioneer Valley when Michael and you were growing up.  It’s so amazing that Al never knew that the kid who was calling him on his show and that he was having discussions with on his show, was the “later Michael” of the Michael Brooks Show! I was also fascinated by the idea that the comedy of Michael was influenced by Sacha Baron Cohen.” “Organizing is about people ’s feelings,” Giordano expressed  that so warmly, and that speaks to Michael’s work. Being a visionary and inspiring others in that vision, not being dogmatic. Inhabiting the vision of socialism and animating it through the creation of community, in a way that was really reaching out to people on a deeper level. This is why his viewers connected with him so deeply and experienced such a loss with his passing. Michael was an intern with me for one summer, I believe it was between his time at Bennington and Bates College. I’m sure we must have spoken about what it means to be a visionary and carry out a plan of action. We worked a lot on language and did a lot of word smithing together. I recently went back in time to that summer and took a look at it some of the documents that we created to promote our mission at the time. I’m so grateful that we had that time together.
