Description

Hey everyone, YDKH is back! After a small sabbatical due to so technical issues, we finally have episode 14 up. Now, this is going to be a bit different: this was a recording of YDKH's first Twitch stream, where I was joined by my friend Dick Warlock of Left Flank Veterans (@notdickwarlock, @leftflankvets) where we talked about the movie "Hunger," starring Michael Fassbender. He played Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands in this amazing film; we also get into some detail about Bobby Sands himself, and what the legacy of the hunger strike means to revolutionaries. I had a great time doing this, and I hope you enjoy it as well! You'll notice YDKH also has new theme music, which is by the musician Smith the Mister called "Beach Buggy."
