122 / Here’s the F*ckin’ News / Franklin Lopez (the Stimulator)

In this episode, I speak with Franklin Lopez, also known as the Stimulator, host of SubMedia’s Here's The Fuckin' News, and former host of It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). Franklin Lopez discusses the aims of the SubMedia media collective, as well as their iconic role as the shit-talking riot-loving anti-authoritarian character the Stimulator. Franklin also gets into the humble role filmmakers and content generators have in collective organizing and coordinating direct action. We discuss the catch-22 of using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to promote independent media and news, while simultaneously trying to build decentralized forms of online organizing and social media outside centralized corporate media platforms. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/franklin-lopez // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
