In this podcast, host Zara along with newly added Facing Autonomy Collective member Flo of London UK interview Psychiatric patient activist Sasha Durakov about his website Unsoundmind.org and about his work in Hearing Voices Network and his broader stances on matters of antipsychiatry in relation to anarchism.

Zara, Sher, Arturo and Tancrede have a conversation about “Critique Of Violence” by Walter Benjamin. We discuss the various notions of “political general strike” and “proletarian general strike” contained in Benjamin’s landmark essay and we also relate the notions of violence in the essay to current events such as the farmer’s protest in India, the right wing attack on the US government of January 6th and the George Floyd Uprising of last summer.

In this interview with Zara and Sher of the Facing Autonomy Podcast, famed Anarchist writer Peter Gelderloos initially sketches out his personal history of organizing both in the US and in Barcelona, Spain as well as his early work before moving to an in-depth discussion of his most recent essay “Diagnostics of the Future” and his newest book project concerning colonization and ecology.

In this Marxist and Anarchist Transfeminism themed podcast, trans woman anarchist Violet Chrysanthemum and trans woman autonomist Zara Richter interview Conrad Bongard Hamilton author of Sex In The Age Of Capital linked here: https://tripleampersand.org/sex-age-capital/. In our interview we discuss the treatment of trans existence on the left, by productivist marxian thinkers in academia, by queer theorists and by feminist thinkers. We side with a broad transfeminist marxist/anarchist consensus on the function and role of transgender materiality in a capitalist age.

In this interview with anarchist thinkers Tancrede Fulconis and Violet Chrysanthemum we consider the piece they cowrote "The Specter of Antifa"
(https://discursiveconstructs.wordpress.com/2020/07/05/the-spectre-of-antifa-a-reterritorialisation-of-the-uprising-1/) and we discuss their anarchist and proletarian readings of poststructuralist thinkers such as Foucault and Deleuze

In this post-US election podcast, Sher and Zara of the Facing Autonomy Podcast enjoy an assorted number of panelists and their commentary on the results of the US election and how it relates to political economy issues. Featured among this podcast's panelists is renowned Autonomist feminist Silvia Frederici but also internet-famous anarchosyndicalist transfeminist Piper Tompkins and autonomist feminist media scholar Arlen Austin as well as Marxist Humanist thinker Will

We enjoy a lively debate on whether the US election is a sign of the power or of the alienation of the working class and whether capitalism continues to reproduce without limits internally or whether there is a limit to capitalist reproduction.

For this podcast, Sher and Zara of the Facing Autonomy Team interview UK Anarchist Zoe Baker partially on her excellent piece in the Anarchist Library entitled "Means And Ends" which is an examination of the debate around the subject of the state, state power and organization within in communist and anarchist history. A discussion on the longstanding legacy and vision of Maltesta. This followed by a necessary discussion on the experiences and positions regarding the politics of identity, current state of left politics and gender.
