Bread & Barricades: A Les Mis Podcast

Cw: misogyny, fatphobia, mentions of slavery and anti-blackness,    “I’m just going to read this whole thing out because it makes me, a horse person, very happy.” This week Nemo, Grace and Stevie talk the eh Les Mis concert, Jean Valjean and Champmatheiu having an affair, women only coming in pairs and Grace goes absolutely feral over some horses. Oh, and there’s one of the most important moments in the book… but we talk more about ponyplay than that.  This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin and Julian Yap.

We contextualise Fantine’s terrible, no good time with women wanting some human rights, female hysteria being the hot topic of the day, hormones and socialisation, the foundation of criminal physiognomy and pre-written forms.  Nemo sat far away from the mic today and yet still managed to peak while laughing so the audio quality is Choice.    This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin and Julian Yap.

cw: police, animal death, ableism, child death, structural racism and classism, antiziganism, police brutality, drug mentions, police shooting, internalised racism This week Nemo, Grace and Stevie build DIY snack receptacles out of our audio equipment, talk calumny about Hugo’s mixing of metaphors, then get on to our most important episode yet: Javert (and also how miseducation about institutionalised racism causes communities of colour to fight ourselves instead of fighting the root of the problem: white supremacy.)

cw: death mention, animal death, fire mention, alcohol mention, sex work.  Elephant poaching, ample backsliding,  gardening God-complexes. We discuss how to live by the tenets of Jean Valjean, factory-based respectability politics  and effortlessly inventing the economy of small towns. Stevie finally cracks and Nemo is thrilled.

SPECIAL - Dumas Grace and Stevie’s first attempt at recording the April Fool’s episode. It’s certainly an episode.
