Coffee with Comrades


Feb 23, 2021

In this episode of Coffee with Comrades, I am joined by Nic, host of our Channel Zero Network sister-show, Pynk Spots, to chat about managing shyness and introversion in media work, teaching, and community-organizing.
 
This wide-ranging conversation covers it all: prepping for public speaking, decentering yourself at rallies and demonstrations, figuring out how to cope with introversion, mitigating awkward situations, commiserating over embarrassing moments, etc. The fist half of our dialogue covers tips and tricks. The second chunk deals with how to apply these lessons to organizing in your own community, whether you're doing community gardening or engaging in militant direct action.
Music: 
  • Intro: "I Ain't Got No Home in this World" by Woody Guthrie
  • Interlude: "Two Queens in a King-Sized Bed" by girl in red 
  • Outro: "HYD" by Hayley Williams
