Verso x The Dig LIVE Podcast: with Jeremy Corbyn, Laleh Khalili & many more
The Verso Podcast joins forces with The Dig podcast to bring you a live recorded show with a whole host of brilliant guests.
This week The Verso Podcast is bringing you something a little different - a special, two-part show, recorded live at our sell-out event at the Union Chapel on July 26th, in partnership with Jacobin magazine’s podcast The Dig.
The first part of the show is a talk on the future of global capitalism - brought to you by our friends over at MACRODOSE. The discussion was hosted by writer and academic Dalia Gebrial and featured a panel comprising political scientist Thea Riofrancos, climate justice activist Asad Rehman, and economist James Meadway. They brought us a conversation on cutting-edge, climate focussed economics that ranged from the decline of the unipolar world, to the climate crisis and green colonialism.
For part two of the show, The Verso Podcast’s own Eleanor Penny teamed up with The Dig’s host Daniel Denvir for a podcast crossover extravaganza. Together they sat down with writer and academic Laleh Khalili and the freshly re-elected, newly independent MP Jeremy Corbyn, to discuss the past, the present, and most importantly the future of Internationalism. Their fascinating discussion covered everything from Palestine, Congo and Iran, to the Labour Party, the welfare state, the climate crisis, and the economics of global trade.
And you can watch the full live recording of the panel on the Verso YouTube channel!
