• Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show, Tuesday, September 29 at 2:00 pm with guest author Zayd Ayers Dohrn ("Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young: A Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground")

  Phil and Ted welcome author Zayd Ayers Dohrn ("Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young: A Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground") to talk about life as the son of Weather Underground radicals, a story of a childhood on the run and a half-century of revolutionary struggle in America. After a decade fighting the US government; his mother was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted lis, and while his parents said his birth marked a clean break with violent revolutionary struggle, in this explosive memoir, he discovers that story wasn’t entirely true. A masterpiece of personal and social history, it brings us inside an infamous family and their lives underground. Drawing on exclusive interviews, declassified FBI files, and long-hidden letters, photos, and diaries, it is the story of radical resistance, including revelations about the Weathermen’s bombing campaign, their secret alliance with the Black Liberation Army, and the dramatic prison break of Assata Shakur. He asks how a young person survives when the place they feel safest―with their family―also puts them in danger.
