Act Out! [43]: Audio Podcast - New Year's Edition

Act Out! [43]: Audio Podcast - New Year's Edition
Mon, 1/4/2016 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

For those of you who follow the TV show, you know that we didn't have a show this week. But I just couldn't let January 1st pass without a podcast so here, in lieu of the audio from the video show, are the words you missed.

A few select spoken word pieces that came before we started doing the podcast in week 23.

I name the episode that they're taken from so you can easily head to our YouTube page or our spoken word archive to see them in video form.

Here, I performed them live, one take, on a shitty mic in my living room - you know, guerilla style creative activism :)

Here's to a 2016 filled with creativity, activism and inspiration. 

Thanks for listening and keep acting out!
