This week on the Edge of Sports podcast, we have a special episode from occupied Washington, DC, a town currently rife with armed National Guard and ICE agents, and yet a city bursting with resistance and revolutionary spirit. We speak with citizen journalist extraordinaire Chuck Modiano, a staple at DC protests, about everything from activist night patrols (of which Chuck and I took part in) and Mayor Muriel Bowser to the defiant determination emanating from the city. You don’t want to miss this episode.
