The insurrection on January 6th, 2021, was just the latest in a long line of fascist attempts to take power. Many of these were successful. And by learning their history, and the historic successes and failures of the antifascists who opposed them, we can better prepare ourselves for the future.

Episode Transcript
Hey, everybody, I'm Robert Evans, and if you have been
watching anything happening in America lately, probably pretty worried, what
with the far right insurrection to install an authoritarian fascist
state that just happened, and the promised additional far right
insurrections to try and get things right where they got
things wrong before, and all of the other terrifying things
(00:21):
that are happening. The violet fascists in the street with
guns threatening to hang and execute political leaders. It's a
messed up time, isn't it. Prop Pretty terrible, man, And
it actually happened, like not in our imagination. This is
not a simulation. It really happened. It really did happen.
And I got you here with me and Sophie because
(00:41):
I figured maybe since it really happened here, we should
talk about some other places in times where it it
being a fascist insurrection has happened, and how people tried
to fight it, how they were successful, how they were unsuccessful.
So maybe we can learn from the mistakes of people
in Italy and Germany and Spain. Yeah, maybe we can
learn from their mistakes so we don't make the same
(01:03):
for once. Yeah, that would rule I like not making
the same mistakes that led to dictatorships in other countries.
That'd be yeah. So if you don't want to make
the same mistakes, listen to Behind the Insurrections on the
I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get
your podcasts.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
