About

On this "Pod People"  episode of Season Three, Mitch chats with Ryan Knight to talk about his journey from Proud Resister to Proud Socialist over the past 4 years and how his personal journey through the financial industry, addiction and more helped shape his political world view. Ryan is an outspoken digital and IRL activist who hosts a wonderful show called "Amped Up" where he interviews folks from all over the left to better understand their message, goals and needs including candidates currently running for office.  In his own words, Ryan is one of Those #Proud, #Lefty, #Socialist, #Soccerplayer type People. — This Podcast was Recorded Remotely in May 2020 in Plymouth MN & Los Angeles CA. We delayed the release of this podcast due to wanting to keep the focus on the Black Lives Matter movement, and Mutual Aid projects we were supporting around the country, however with the general election just around the corner, it seemed like now was the time to get this on the air, and to share this, at times feisty, conversation about bridging the divide between our principles, and the votes we need to earn to get them over the finish line. — Learn more about Those People, Mitch’s newest projects, and Ryan + other guests from the show at www.mitchgayns.com.   For more info about Ryan's work in detail, head on over to Ryan's Patreon, Patreon.com/ProudSocialist. — Support the show by buying some merch at https://shop.spreadshirt.com/mitchgayns or Buy Mitch and the Team a cup of coffee at: https://ko-fi.com/mitchgayns — Music for this show: Those People, 2012, Justus Boyz (Intro): https://bit.ly/2lbdBJB Those People, 2015, Amy Bezunartea (Outro): https://spoti.fi/2nhoOsH Untitled, 2019, Mitch Gayns (Transitions) Trigger Warnings for this Episode: Drug Use, Abuse, Political Violence. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thosepeople/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thosepeople/support
