This Week with David Rovics

The Velvet Unicorn interviewed me for her show on CFUV in Victoria, BC. This is the full interview, rather than the nice edited version she'll be broadcasting.

Dave Goodman and I talked for an hour or so for his radio show, Sound and Fury, on WMBR in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and it was a damn fine conversation.

Many people around the world are calling for the government of Pakistan to release the leader of the Awami Action Committee now, along with all of his unjustly-imprisoned colleagues. I had never heard of Ehsan Ali, or the Awami Action Committee, or, to be honest, the region of Pakistan known as Gilgit-Baltistan, where Ehsan Ali is from. After Ali's arrest, two months ago now, I began to hear from...

You probably won't find a better hour-long primer on the US-Israeli war on Iran than this guided tour of our new album, Epstein Empire.  (And you surely won't find one that rhymes as much as this one does.)

The brilliant Ron Placone interviewed me on the occasion of St. Patrick's Day 2026 for his One Thousand Podcast.  We talked about all kinds of things, with an emphasis on the St. Patrick Battalion.

Mostly songs from Insurrection Act, the album.

The latest album of the Ai Tsuno Project drops on all the music streaming platforms on March 15th. All lyrics that were written and songs that were rendered in the winter of 2026, introduced to you in this podcast.

Where is the antiwar movement we need?

The USA.

After destroying Afghanistan and Iraq The empire strikes back To try to conquer the Noble Land Invading Iran

The whistle and the camera within everyone's phones have become emblems of resistance.

Ai Tsuno released a song about all of my albums being deleted from YouTube Music, and so there had to be one about my channel being deleted, too, for good measure.

It never ceases to induce shock and awe to consume the western media's coverage of Israel, which more and more bears all the characteristics of stenography rather than journalism.

As Mark Zuckerberg was preparing to go to court, the muses struck.

The Labor Heritage Foundation's weekly Labor Heritage Power Hour radio show/podcast hosts an annual "Labor Grammys," where listeners vote among the entries on the winner. I'm very gratified to say that this year Ai Tsuno's "No Contract, No Coffee" was the winner (with one of my favorite living artists, Maria Dunn of Alberta, Canada, the runner-up). During the first half of this latest episode, hos...

My latest collaboration with the Ai Tsuno Project drops on all the music streaming platforms on February 1st.  Here's a guided tour of the album.

Chad Westover is a man around my age, who also lives in Oregon. David first learned about Chad because of having kids, and living in the same city as Chad’s extended family. Chad’s extended family is full of kind and loving people, which, by the accounts of all of them and many others, Chad is, too. Chad’s generous nature was exactly what led him to want to stick up for his friend, who was being t...

Just before our Berkeley show last night, Kamala and I spent the hour with Dennis Bernstein as guests of Flashpoints on KPFA Community Radio. Along with us there were appearances via phone from the brilliant poet, Anita Barrows, and a report from the streets of Minneapolis as well.

I had a very nice and wide-ranging interview with Rebel Fagin on his Radio Resistance radio show recently, which was broadcast on his show on KBBF Community Radio on Sunday. Here's the podcast version.

A lot of people are saying a lot of things about AI to me, and in general.  Here I make a bit of effort to distinguish the baby from the bathwater.
