Rebel Matters is an international podcast based out of Belfast, featuring wide-ranging conversations on the topics of anti-imperialism, culture, and resistance. The show first went out on the pod-waves in 2017 and since has covered a lot of ground from chats with artists and musicians, community activist, authors and people breaking new ground in their respective fields. Past guests include Bernadette McAliskey, Radie Peat, Father Des Wilson, and KNEECAP to name a few. Sometimes the show is in Irish, depending on the preferred language of the guest, and every now and again the interview format is abandoned in favour of something a bit different.
You can find the show on most of the usual podcast platforms as well as in the player below and new episodes are usually released on Friday mornings. Rebel Matters is supported in full by our Patreon subscribers, and you can become a Patron by subscribing right here.
