Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour

Tarik Daniels is an activist, actor, community organizer, and writer here in Austin, Texas. Tarik serves as executive director of WHATSINTHEMIRROR, a non-profit and social movement that provides mental health and suicide prevention through advocacy and art. We did something a little different with this episode and just captured a completely off the cuff discussion about what radical politics are. Tarik posed this question to me and the discussion was going so well, I just started recording.
