This podcast is one of the very best I’ve had the privilege of listening to. As a mother and so-called radical, this story hit me like a gut punch—especially when hearing from the children of the revolutionaries. Especially well-done in its nuanced approach to issues of race, revolutionary action, and relationships. This story is timely, thoughtful, and engaging. I’m filled with gratitude to the creators and the participants. Thank you for putting this out into the world. I’d be thrilled to read more and/or see a documentary from the creators!

I was raised at about the same time as Zayd by progressive, politically active parents. This podcast really resonated with my memories of my childhood, particularly in the way the Vietnam War cast a shadow on my early years. That the podcast is staged against the backdrop of our current political and social climate made for a hopeful reminder that causes and ideas are worth fighting for. But how one fights is of the utmost importance. I found this podcast thought provoking and moving.

Best podcast I have listened to in a long time. So thoughtful, personal, and revealing. Also incredibly helpful to me as a historian to get a feel for the movement.

Fascinating program. I was involved in the anti war movement at Tufts University, 1968-1972. I recall despising the Weatherman group because they were violent and elitist Your program made me more empathetic to these activists. But with one exception - Bill Ayers. He demonstrates very little capacity or willingness to engage in self reflection.

In an attempt to showcase multicultural support for civil rights, we somehow created a whole series glorifying white contributions (some of which were terrorist acts) that supported of the downfall of the Black Panthers. A masterclass in saviorism, I left disappointed to have listened to this podcast. This did not address the harm done to Black communities by the radical protagonists highlighted, nor did it address the privileges of white supremacy they benefitted from making it possible to even tell this story. Blindspots everywhere. Two stars for the writing and production team. Good story-telling, lame and incomplete story.
