    The radical academy is in session as Office Hours returns Friday May 15 for an early edition, 11:30amET/4:30amUK. Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, returns to the channel to talk about recent developments legally surrounding the direct actionists' trials, jury manipulation, "terrorism" sentencing, attempts to sanction barrister for the defense, and the political consequences for the Starmer government and the UK state. Remember this political suppression and the threat to legal and political rights results from the enormous success of Palestine Action in disrupting Israeli war manufacturing and UK complicity.

    The Violent Demise of Monetary Supremacy w/Radhika Desai

    24/05/2026 | 1h
    Full Audio of YouTube Livestream!!!!
    Adnan and Benji in this collaboration with Resistance is Fertile podcast continue their conversation with Radhika Desai about the latest developments in geopolitical economy. We discuss the consequences of Iran's restriction of commercial trade through the Strait of Hormuz for dollar hegemony and more broadly on the global economy. We'll learn about swap lines and the UAE and other gulf economic vulnerabilities. Perhaps we will also assess the view that China is the key target of the Iran War and the theory that global energy control has been the main strategic goal of US interests. Ahead of the Trump-Xi summit it will be useful to examine and understand China's position during the imperialist war in West Asia. Post your questions in case we have time to get to them too!

    Myths about Islamic Resistance History in Palestine w/Mujamma Haraket

    10/05/2026 | 1h 33 mins.
    As part of this channel's effort to explore the theme of religion and resistance and to understand the Islamic resistance confronting US-Israeli empire, Adna speaks with scholar, translator, and historian of Islamic political movements, Mujamma Haraket. We explore the emergence of the Islamic Resistance in Palestine and its roots in anticolonial era and Muslim Brotherhood organizing in previous decades. In particular, Mujamma dispells myths and exposes their particular use to discredit Hamas by examining the source of contentions that Israel created or supported its "as a counterweight" to the secular nationalist PLO movement. This revealing and illuminating historical analysis based on careful assessment of the evidence and documentation. We also discuss the use of collaborationist gangs in Gaza and their Salafist or more properly "Madkhalist" Islamist orientations meant to undermine the resistance. A fascinating and learned discussion with an expert scholar.

    Still Minab: Iran's Martyrs and Sovereign Truth w/Helyeh Doutaghi and Bikrum Gill

    06/05/2026 | 1h 30 mins.
    Helyeh Doutaghi from Tehran and Bikrum Gill join me to discuss the haunting and powerful series "Still Minab" and its first two episodes. Helyeh's documentary absorbs the first part of our discussion about narrating and expressing the truth outside of the colonial and imperial framework. Then Adnan and Bikrum reflect on the wider significance of Iran's defiant position against the imperialist world system, revolutionary Shi'i theology and Islam as a vanguard of anti-imperialist resistance, and the fundamental question of sovereignty. We look forward to another episode soon with stable internet to further develop the themes of the scholarly article Helyeh and Bikrum are writing for Middle East Critique on these issues of Iran's place in anti-imperialist resistance history, theory and practice.

    The Qur'an as Geopolitics w/Indi.ca

    28/04/2026 | 1h 30 mins.
    In this era, the most active forces combating colonialism and imperialism are the "Axis of Resistance" in West Asia. Since October 7th, many have been either inspired or puzzled by the incomparable endurance of the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance to invasion, occupation, and genocidal violence. In both cases religious faith in Islam has proven of incalculable value to them as well as to resistance in Yemen, Lebanon, and Iran. Adnan speaks with writer, blogger and co-host of Resistance is Fertile Podcast, Indi (at Indi.ca) about his study of the Qur'an, Muslim scripture, as a way of understanding the Islamic resistance and current events. Although not a Muslim, he frequently cites the Qur'an in his own anti-imperialist writings and analysis as a source for understanding. We explore together the Qur'an as geopolitical analysis on the topics of war, peace, negotiations, and steadfastness against oppression.
