| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the annual Revolutionary Gorilla Menace episode of the year. |
| 0:06.7 | This is Henry Huckermanke, one of the co-hosts of Guerrilla History. |
| 0:10.7 | And for those of you who have not tuned into the previous year's editions of Revolutionary and Gorilla Menace, essentially what it is, is the end of year wrap up and looking forward to the new year that we |
| 0:22.5 | collaborate with our friends at Revolutionary Left Radio and the Red Menace podcast. So I'm |
| 0:28.6 | going to say hello to everyone now. And listeners, if you are subscribed to Revolutionary Left |
| 0:34.3 | Radio or the Red Menace, you will also hear this on those platforms as well. |
| 0:38.5 | I'll start off by introducing my guerrilla history co-host, Professor Adnan Hussein, who of course |
| 0:43.1 | is historian director of the School of Religion at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada. |
| 0:47.2 | Hello, Adnan. How are you doing today? |
| 0:49.1 | I'm doing great, Henry. I'm really excited for this gathering of our friends and comrades. |
| 1:11.0 | Absolutely. It's been a long time. It's been about a year since the last time that we did this. So it's great to see our two wonderful guests slash hosts for this episode today. We have Brett O'Shea, who is a host of Revolutionary Left Radio and co-host of the Red Menace podcast. |
| 1:17.4 | Hello, Brett, long time, no see. It just occurred to me that the, the name Revolutionary Guerrilla Menace, it kind of sounds like a Cold War Godzilla villain or something. I think |
| 1:21.8 | of a huge mutant emerging from the ocean to wreak havoc on the capitalist west. So anyways, happy to be here. |
| 1:28.6 | Well, I'm wearing a Cold War era Soviet sweater right now. So that would be very fitting. |
| 1:34.0 | I know this is audio only, but listeners, you'll just have to imagine it's a military, |
| 1:38.8 | Soviet military surplus sweater from the 1980s. We're also joined by Alison Escalante, who is a co-host of |
| 1:46.3 | the Red Menace podcast. Hello, Allison. Similarly, it's been a long time since I've had the chance |
| 1:50.5 | to see you. Yeah, it has been too long. We definitely, you know, I'm collabed in a little bit. I just |
| 1:56.4 | look at it. It was last December. We did that South Africa episode together, which was a real pleasure. |
| 2:04.8 | But yeah, glad to be here. This is always one of the highlights of the year getting to record with you all. So really looking forward to this. Yeah, absolutely. So like I said, the structure for |
| 2:10.8 | this is essentially going to be twofold. There's going to be a look back at 2024. We're |
| 2:15.8 | recording on January 2nd. and hopefully this will be up on |
