Radio Insurgente Adds Podcast Feeds!

Radio Insurgente, the radio voice of everybody’s favorite revolutionary social movement, the zapatistas, now has a podcast (on odeo, as rss.)

It’s mostly in spanish, with a smattering of the 5 indigenous languages which are also spoken by the zapatista communities. The amazing thing is how humble and unassuming the voices in radio insurgente are. They talk about resistance, international solidarity, community democracy, the mexican political landscape, the rights of women, building a new water system, all with an almost meek voice. If you can understand it, or want to learn spanish i highly recommend it. It’s a good radio program to learn from because the speakers don’t rush through their words like most latino commercial radio, but speak slowly, deliberately, focusing on their words because spanish is a second language of most of the speakers.
