Books Written By Guests of the Pod(Photo by Tom Hermans on Unsplash)Here at Citations Needed, we’ve had on scores of wonderful guests — activists and academics, organizers and journalists. Indeed, our guests are what make the show what it is, and (confession!) we very often build our show around articles and books our guests have written — taking themes, research or ideas we find interesting and in urgent need of further exposure, then connecting them to the media tropes and narratives that are built around them. Ever since we aired our first episode in July 2017, listeners have asked us for a reading list. So here it is.Below are books by Citations Needed guests we think you may like. We urge you to purchase from your local bookstore or the publisher directly, if possible!We’ll keep updating this list as new guests join the show.Thank you as always for your support and listenership,— Nima, Florence, Julianne, Adam and MarcoTestimony: A Novelby Peter Lazare and Sarah Lazare (Strong Arm Press, 2021)Sarah Lazare is a frequent contributor, researcher, writer, and production consultant for Citations Needed.Selling Women Short : The Landmark...

I am Nima Shirazi.Adam Johnson: I’m Adam Johnson.Nima: We do these News Briefs in between our regularly scheduled full length episodes when the news demands that we comment, or in the case of this particular News Brief, it’s not about Giuliani getting COVID, it’s actually a follow up to our recent episode on the militarization of climate change and the American presidential response to it. As we talked about on Episode 122 of Citations Needed, the National Security approach to addressing climate chaos is not only a messaging issue, it’s not only about the words we use to try and motivate people or to try to strike the right amount of urgency or existential threat or dread in people’s consciousness so that they realize that climate chaos and climate change and our climate emergency is really an issue that must be urgently and immediately addressed, it is not, as I said, just about the narrative, it is also about the implications of the policy...

So for awhile I think we talked about it offline a bit, the worst thing in the world is a white guy who says it’s like a white guy thing to say, but to me, all the sort of, ‘Oh gosh, what happened to Rudy Guliani?’ takes are the whitest thing you can say, because it’s sort of, it’s like, ‘It didn’t bother me’ —Nima: It means you really haven’t been paying attention.Adam: Yeah, it’s one of those...
