This week I am joined by Aimee Terese of the "What's Left" podcast  and we sift through the wreckage of the Corbyn and Sanders campaigns.  Why did both men lose so badly from what appeared to be promising positions?  What role did the socialist revival have? Is there any kind of future for social democracy?  We cover all that and more in this episode so be sure to listen at least twice!   You can find Aimee's podast on the link below: https://soundcloud.com/whatisleftpod

Not a week goes by without a hyperventilating article in the New York Times, Washington Post or Guardian about how either Kim Jong Un is dead or is working on a Bond villain style death ray.  Everything you read, hear or see in the capitalist media regarding the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is either an outright lie or wild exaggeration.  How to find truth in such a media landscape?  In this episode I speak to Dr Dermot Hudson of the Korean Friendship Association to find the reality of the history of the DPRK and how they are continuing to build their own socialist system.   You can find more information on the work of the KFA on the link below: http://www.korea-dpr.com/kfa.html

This is an episode of the show from 2019 where I analysed why Communists must support leaving the European Union.  

Welcome to Red Star Radio.  This introduction is from back when the show was named "Partizan Stockport".  Despite the name change this still gives you a good flavour what the show is all about.
