In our latest, we dive into the story of Vietnamese immigration to the U.S. following the war through the lens of food with our long time friend and colleague Prof Roy Vũ. We discuss Vietnamese-American food gardens and cooking, how they affected the community in places like Houston and the Gulf Coast and the multiracial community developed in places like the Houston’s Allen Parkway Village. We also talk about the politics of the diaspora, the murder of Vietnamese journalist Nguyen Dam Phong by right-wing anti-communist Vietnamese groups and right wing Vietnamese support and participation in the January 6th insurrection.

In the third installment of our Arts and Culture series, we talked about the life and politics of the late music legend Kris Kristofferson. We discussed his early life, his military service, his trajectory into the Nashville song writing scene, his music, his acting career and, of course, his politics. From his anti-war views on the American empire to his support of Mumia Abu Jamal and Leonard Peltier to his outspoken support of the Sandinistas and Palestinians. Kris Kristofferson was a legend who walked his talk. We will miss him, but never forget him. ------------------ Music// +Intro- "Sunday Morning Coming Down" by Kris Kristofferson +Interlude- "Sandinista" by Kris Kristofferson +Outro- "Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down" by Kris Kristofferson Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

In our second installment in our new "Green & Red Arts and Culture Series" we talked about the book and movie *The Milagro Beanfield War." While is a heartwarming story of a regular guy taking on the system, there are significant political messages there too. The people of Milagro, New Mexico had to deal with outside "developers" coming in to their community take control of politics, the land, and even the war. The character Joe Mondragon then kicked a sluice gate to water his beans and invoked the wrath of local businessmen and politicians. Locally Joe became a hero and the development company put him in its crosshairs. The book, by John Nichols, and the movie directed by Robert Redford examine issues like land use, water rights, local organization efforts, community organizing, Latin culture, and more. --------------------------------- Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠

CAT 4 Hurricane Helene hit the southeast U.S. causing billions in destruction and at least 230 deaths. Western North Carolina was hit particularly hard, despite being called a "haven" from climate disaster. Mutual aid groups across the region sprung into action to provide immediate aid and relief. In our latest, Scott talks with Matt, an organizer working with Rural Organizing and Resilience (ROAR). ROAR has been providing mutual aid in rural counties in western North Carolina. They discuss the situation on the ground, mutual aid response, "state" response and the possibility of disaster capitalism in the region. Matt is a long time organizer, western North Carolina resident and works with Rural Organizing and Resilience. ----------------------------- outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody Links// + Rural Organizing and Resilience: https://ruralorganizing.wordpress.com/ + Hurricane Helene Relief (https://bit.ly/47U8hx7) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/knC2A4FW) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Over the past week, Israel has begun a major escalation against Hezbollah in Lebanon with the "pager attack" on the Lebanese population, assassinations of senior Hezbollah leadership and airstrikes in southern Lebanon that has killed at least 500 people and led to thousands to flee their homes. Israel has called this strategy "De-escalation through escalation," and done it with the full support of the Biden-Harris administration. In our latest episode, Scott talks with host and producer of Breakthrough News Eugene Puryear about the escalation, how it effects politics and movement politics in the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign. They also talk in depth about the connections between the black liberation movement and the Free Palestine movement. They also discuss why black churches and organized labor have supported a ceasefire, why the mainstream environmental groups haven't. And finally how there is increasing support of socialism, dislike of capitalism in the U.S. and the backlash to that growing consciousness.

Richard Slotkin has written some of the more important books explaining the way Americans have created myths to justify slavery, repression, and empire, including "Regeneration Through Violence," "The Fatal Environment," and "Gunfighter Nation." His new book, "A Great Disorder," summarizes his previous ideas and take us to the present, with significant analyses of American from Reagan to the present, with ideas about the way Reagan and Bush in particular brought back the idea of the frontier and the cowboy to exploit and protect it. In our latest episode, we discussed with him the Obama years, his failure to tell a compelling story, and the culture wars and intensification of gun culture in response. And we spend a lot of time discussing Trump's use of old myths about violence and white supremacy to create a Confederate restoration project. Bio// Richard Slotkin is a cultural critic and historian. He is the Olin Professor of English and American Studies, Emeritus at Wesleyan University. He is author of numerous books around myth and narrative related to the American west, the frontier and American society in general.
