About this listen
In an era of rising inequality, authoritarianism, and threats to democracy, this episode explores the growing call for artists to speak out. We delve into the enduring power of protest songs as tools of resistance, solidarity, and hope—addressing themes from environmental justice and women’s rights to labour struggles, anti-racism, and opposition to fascism. Music that challenges injustice can inspire courage, spark dialogue, and remind us whose side we’re on.
We’re also joined by visual artist and interior designer Avril Murphy Allen, whose vibrant solo exhibition Alleyways runs at Smashing Times Visual Art Gallery, Dublin, from 5–8 February 2026. Through an explosion of colour, Avril explores overlooked urban spaces and the resilience, memory, and transformation they hold. Avril also features in the Solstice Light Art in Winter exhibition, running at the same gallery until 25 January 2026.
