About the Show

Radio Intifada is a weekly review of politics and culture covering the whole of South and West Asia and Northern Africa. Produced by the SWANA Region Radio collective, the show brings scholars, poets, artists, and organizers into conversation about the forces shaping the region and its diaspora: settler colonialism, imperial warfare, grassroots resistance, and the cultural practices that sustain movements for liberation.

Hosted on rotation by members of the collective, each episode features in-depth interviews with guests working across disciplines — from psychoanalysis and critical theory to poetry and documentary film — alongside regional news and analysis. On KPFK since 2005, Radio Intifada centers the voices of those on the ground in the struggle for liberation.
