Episode 8: Dusty Bottoms - Quiet Revolution in the 9th ward
In New Orleans we were honored to have an interview with Marlo and her family who reside in the Upper Ninth Ward in a house that is theirs now, but wasn't always. Years ago she squatted in the house she lives in now, but over the years obtained ownership of it and several surrounding houses as well by fixing them up and converting them into spaces she used to take in troubled, lost, and otherwise misguided youth and help them get on their feet. Now she's converting one of the spaces into a health clinic that is available for the community and has plans for the other spaces as well.
If you would like to donate to Marlo and her community free clinic, please email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to connect you.

Episode 6: Reverend Ivan Stang & the Church of the Subgenius
Ivan Stang founded the Church of the SubGenius with Dr. Philo Drummond (who is now a DJ on the popular Berkeley radio show Puzzling Evidence) in 1980 with a satyrical pamphlet titled “SubGenius Pamphlet #1.” What’s formed in the 30 years following is an entire parody religion that, while no less real than any other religion, is thankfully only taken seriously to a dangerous level by a small chunk of people. Most followers of the Church of the SubGenius are such because of the humorous and lighthearted nature of the way it satirizes fanatic-based religion, conspiracy theories, and aliens.

NEW! Episode 5: From Industry to Art – New York City’s Warehouses Transformed
There’s a million warehouses in New York, and they all have the capability to serve a mass population of people in different trades if they end up in the hands of the right people. We met up with a few different warehouse owners and organizers during our short stay who have started their own spaces in the hopes of providing difference walks of artists in New York with a place to practice, create, and market their work.

Episode 4: Live Free or Die –The Trial of Ademo Freeman
On Monday, August 13th, we visited Manchester, New Hampshire for the trial of Adam Mueller, better known as Ademo Freeman, Free State Project activist and Copblock.org Founder.
Ademo is part of a movement; a collection of individuals choosing to eat, sleep, and breathe for the change they wish to see in the world. These individuals identify themselves as part of the Free State Project. The Project is somewhat of a call-out, if you will, for passionate Libertarians to live together in solidarity and work to "..exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of civil government is the protection of life, liberty, and property," as noted in the Free State Project's statement of intent.

Episode 3: The Decade – 30 Miles Through the Champlain Islands
Day two of our journey, brought us to beautiful Grand Isle in Vermont, where we filmed the Summer Decade Ride.
The Decade is a group bike ride through three separate back road routes in different counties of Vermont and New York. The Fall ride goes around Upstate New York, Spring in Button Bay State Park, and Summer around Grand Isle. With frequent picnic and swimming stops, abundant supplies of wine bottles, and a harem of bike mechanics who can patch your flat in under a minute, the Decade sounds like a daunting adventure at first word, but a 30 mile bike ride soon becomes a leisurely day spent on the fly with a group of your closest friends.

Episode 2: Quarry Hill – A Utopian Community
In 1946, Barbara Hall left Greenwich Village NY for a cabin in a forest in Rochester, Vermont. She married Irving Fiske and opened The Quarry Hill Community for free-thinking people; free love, sharing food and money, as well as a non-violence policy towards children.
Now she is 92, likes to talk about sex and good old times when people were accepting less to have more.
Barbara Hall and her daughter, Lady Bell, are telling us the history of one of the oldest American utopian communities and share with us their prospect for the future.
