100, 101… and your favorite CS podcasts!

Episodes 100, Popular Resistance Facing Repression in Mexico, went up last week, and Episode 101, Olympic Resistance, just went up today. Two podcasts on two widely different topics, but both do what we love here at CitizenShift: putting forward voices and ideas you won’t usually find in the mainstream media. As always, we’d love to hear your comments about either piece.

The debate about the Olympics is on that continues to grow though - what do you think of its role in community development, and its impact on communities in Vancouver, Whistler and beyond? Leave your comments, or upload your own media here.

In last week’s podcast we announced that you had chosen Bumpig heads with the police as your favortie CS podcast episode to date. But also voted for a wide range of pieces. So here they are, listed below for your listening pleasure. Congrats to everyone who was picked!
