participatory socialism

Episode 208 of RevolutionZ is me interviewing me - thus the tile, Hounding Myself. As interviewer I can be a bit more aggressive with myself than other interviewers tend to be. It may not be everyone's delight, but I had assembled some questions I would like to be asked and I decided, well, okay, why not ask myself. Some of it is familiar ground for regular listeners, some not. And I have to apologize. Hours ago, when I was editing it, I discovered that somehow there  appears an intermittent periodic low level noise, not unlike some weird kind of drum. I don't know what the hell it was but I decided not to scrub the whole thing. Hopefully it won't be overly distracting. Me and Me are rather loud. Also, this episode one is long, almost two hours. You put me together with me and I guess that's what you get.
