From The Periphery
The Fire These Times is a podcast and multimedia project started by scholar, writer, and activist Elia J. Ayoub in 2020. Since 2021, Antidote Zine has collaborated with this project via comradely clerical support, mainly transcription.
Starting in spring 2024, we expanded our efforts. We are helping coordinate production of transcripts for all the podcasts made by the From The Periphery (FTP) media collective, while still working towards the completion of a transcript archive of every TFTT episode.
If you are interested in contributing to this effort by transcribing any favorite past or future conversation on any FTP podcast including The Fire These Times, please email us at antidote[at]riseup[dot]net and we will send you a style guide and instructions to make the whole process easier.
Edited transcripts will appear on the corresponding episode page at FTP’s website, and Antidote Zine will continue to feature our favorites here as well.
Original audio and links are included in each post below. Support From The Periphery on their Patreon site!

Legacies of Authoritarianism in Palestine
For a brief moment there was hope that the Palestinian question would be revitalized and put center stage for the rest of the region. That could have come to pass had the Arab Spring not been usurped.

Against All Empire, Against All Oppression
It is absolutely necessary, and not a luxury, to support struggles for democracy and human rights wherever they happen in the world. That is part of the struggle for socialism.
