  • Glastonbury, Vulnerability, and Violence
    Glastonbury 2025 made headlines for more than just the music β€” and in this unfiltered second episode of Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam FranΓ§ois, we dive into the political firestorm that shook the festival to its core.Joining the conversation is Jordan Stephens β€” musician, writer, and one half of Rizzle Kicks β€” fresh off his first Glasto performance in nine years.Together, we unpack why Palestine resonates so deeply with festivalgoers, what it means to be an artist in a time of protest and political pressure, and how music remains a powerful tool of resistance.Jordan, who recently published his memoir Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak, and Dogs, also opens up about mental health, ADHD, heartbreak, as well as the emotional weight of navigating masculinity in a world that often fails young men, especially young Black men.πŸ›‘ Glastonbury 2025 unpackedπŸ›‘ What is the role of artists in politically charged timesπŸ›‘ The lineage of pain that underlies being a black manπŸ›‘ Why is so difficult to be a manπŸ›‘ Living with ADHDThis is a conversation about art, identity, and resistance β€” and what it means to speak your truth when the world would rather you stay silent.πŸ‘‰ Subscribe for more bold conversations: [link]🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTea #JordanStephens #Glastonbury2025 #Kneecap #Gaza #PalestineAction #UKPolitics #RizzleKicks #MiriamFrancois #NonToxicMasculinity #ADHD #MusicAndActivism #Avoidance Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FranΓ§oisGuest: Jordan StephensSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: NadΓ¨ge BizimunguResearchers: Poppy Jacobs and Lina Adams Video Editor: Max Bubnov An MPWR Productions show. πŸŽ₯ Click to watch.

  • β€œPeople Have the Power to Stop the Siege”
    Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam FranΓ§ois launches today with a heart-wrenching conversation featuring Palestinian writer Ahmed Alnaouq, co-editor of We Are Not Numbers, a groundbreaking anthology of personal stories from young Palestinians.In this powerful episode, Ahmed shares what it means to survive war, censorship, and unimaginable personal loss in Gaza. And makes a direct appeal to the world: β€œPeople have the power to stop the siege in Gaza”. Set against the backdrop of an ongoing genocide β€” where even seeking food can mean death β€” the conversation explores the meaning of resistance and what real solidarity requires. From the failures of the aid system to the urgency of global inaction, Ahmed challenges us to go beyond symbolic protest and scale up our action: sustained boycotts and relentless pressure on complicit institutions. πŸ›‘ The death trap of the aid machine in GazaπŸ›‘ Why Israel is arming ISIS affiliated gangsπŸ›‘ Palestinians have the right to armed resistanceπŸ›‘ Why the two-state solution is not an option anymore πŸ›‘ People have the power to stop the genocideThis episode is more than just a discussion. It's a call to conscience. We must do more.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #Palestine #gazagenocide #BreakIsraelSiege #EndTheBlockade #StandWithGaza #WeAreNotNumbers #FreedomFlotillaPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FranΓ§oisGuest: Ahmed AlnaouqSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: NadΓ¨ge BizimunguResearcher: Poppy Jacobs Video Editor: Max Bubnov An MPWR Productions show. πŸŽ₯ Click to watch.

  • "Everything I Was Taught… Was a Lie"
    This week on The Tea with Myriam Francois, journalist and critic of U.S. foreign policy Aaron MatΓ© joins us for a deep dive into Palestine, β€˜Jewishness,’ and the media narratives around them. As a Jewish voice opposing Israel’s violence, he’s been dismissed and sidelined β€” but he’s not backing down.From the devastation in Gaza to the discourse in Washington, MatΓ© thoughtfully explores how identity can be instrumentalized, how definitions of antisemitism are being reshaped in politics, and why solidarity with Palestinians is not only compatible with Jewish identity β€” but essential to its integrity. πŸ›‘ Zionism vs. Judaism – What happens when a political project lays claim to a religious identity?πŸ›‘ Hasbara 2.0 – Israel’s PR machine and the manufacturing of moral consent.πŸ›‘ Gaza and Genocide – Is the world finally waking up to reality?πŸ›‘ Jewish Identity Under Siege – What happens when dissenting Jews are cast out? This episode is a deep dive into the identity politics of empire β€” and the people refusing to be used by it.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #AaronMate #Palestine #JewishVoicesForPeace #GazaUnderAttack #ProjectEsther #IsraelPalestine #MediaPropaganda #Hasbara #USForeignPolicy #DecolonizeNarrativesPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FranΓ§oisGuest: Aaron MatΓ©Senior Producer: NadΓ¨ge BizimunguResearcher: Yasmin MeddourAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.πŸŽ₯ Click to watch.

  • Inside the Machinery of Modern War
    He’s lived it. Now he’s naming it.This week on The Tea with Myriam Francois, U.S. veteran and outspoken anti-imperialist Greg Stoker joins us to pull back the curtain on the deadly intersections of military strategy, state violence, and imperial brandingβ€”from Gaza’s decimation to Western propaganda operations and privatized warfare.Forget press releases. This is war without the gloss.πŸ›‘ Gaza’s Ground Offensive – Is this a strategy shift, or state-led ethnic cleansing?πŸ›‘ Private Mercenaries in the Middle East – Who’s paying, who’s fighting, and who’s accountable?πŸ›‘ Project Esther – How redefining antisemitism is weaponized to crush critique.πŸ›‘ The Abraham Accords – Peace deals, or PR for arms trades and surveillance empires?πŸ›‘ Trump and Empire – Not the architectβ€”just the most honest salesman.πŸ›‘ The New Right’s β€œPro-Palestinian” Turn – Is Candace Owens standing for justiceβ€”or hijacking the cause?This episode isn’t just about modern warfareβ€”it’s about modernized colonialism, dressed in the language of freedom, peace, and security.πŸ‘€ Think you know what war looks like today?
