Hello and welcome to a Gorilla history and the Red Menace crossover episode.

I'm joined, I'm Henry Huckmackie, one of the co-hosts of Gorilla history and I'm joined

by the wonderful Allison Escalante of the Red Menace podcast.

Now we're sister podcasts affiliated with the revolutionary left radio kind of network

of shows and so since this is a crossover episode we'll briefly introduce ourselves

just so that listeners of the Red Menace who haven't listened to Gorilla history

know a bit about me and people that listen to Gorilla history that don't listen to the

Red Menace but should, I might add, know a little bit about Allison.

So I'm Henry Huckmackie, I'm an immunobiology graduate researcher and as I said I co-host

the Gorilla history podcast with Professor Adnan Hussein and Brett O'Shea for a proletarian

history podcast and we cover global history.

I think that if you are a regular listener of the Red Menace podcast it will be an interesting

podcast for you because we take much the same viewpoint on issues but with focus on proletarian

history as I said, Allison.

Hi, yeah, so I'm Allison, like Henry said I am one of the co-hosts on Red Menace podcast

with Brett O'Shea.

On our podcast we mostly take texts of revolutionary theory and try to break them down with a pretty

intense textual focus, quoting at length and also trying to do summary work for readers

to kind of act as a companion to reading the text to help people a little bit and also

to think about what those texts might mean and suggest for us today an organizational

work not just as abstract ideas but in terms of implementing them in the world in some

way or another.
