INTERVIEW

The Bloom Collective is our feature in this episode of Catalyst Radio. The Collective focuses on providing information and education to inspire radical and social change, in part as an info shop and lending library. Now The Bloom Collective is preparing to move into a new storefront space at 8 Jefferson Ave., and has kicked off a fundraising campaign to help support the new space. Josh Sadowski, part of The Bloom Collective, is in studio to talk about some of the upcoming efforts and changes.

 

MUSIC

Music in this edition of Catalyst Radio is from Utah Phillips and Ani Difranco. The two have paired up a couple of times, putting out releases entitled Fellow Workers and The Past Didn’t Go Anywhere. We’re playing segments of the song “Bridges.”
