“Zayd Dohrn Ayers in his podcast is both observer and participant (victim?) in the Weather Underground of the late 60s and 70s. Through his interview with “Aunt Jennifer” [Dohrn], I learned of her involvement with the nascent underground. This tends to explain certain occurrences in my life, as I spent some time with Jennifer in 1971. FBI as part of its COINTELPRO scheme seemed to be seriously interested in messing with me beginning right then. I was seriously anti war but scrupulously nonviolent.
Zayd interviews his parents, Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, who were committed revolutionaries, and other lifelong adult figures in his life.
Life underground has produced some good literature and film. Zayd’s version of the story has all the advantages and hindrances of reality. It is personal. It is political. It is historical.
But one cannot forget: all this, these lives, were created by the VietNam War. These people are not representative of the anti war movement. They were at its extreme edge, who were seen by some as the tip of the spear. I look forward to Episode 10.”

“I’ve only listened to the first episode. While this podcast definitely provides & interesting behind the scenes view into the civil rights movement & Vietnam war protests, it does so in a way that dismisses the seriousness & criminality of what the perpetrator did & even seems to...”Read full review »
