About this listen

 Stories of Resistance is a new podcast featuring vignettes pulled from journalist Michael Fox's 20 years of interviews, research, and reporting from across the Americas. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance. Inspiration for dark times.

Each episode is an example of investigative journalism, prose, poetry, historical memory, reflection on struggle—and, above all, story. Stories that remind us of the struggles that have come before, and the ones we are living now. Stories about workers' struggles; resistance to dictatorship; alternative media; Indigenous and environmental organizing; and more. Eduardo Galeano-inspired vignettes for a Trump 2.0 world.

Stories of Resistance is co-produced by The Real News Network and Global Exchange.

    Episode 41 | The Chinchorro Mummies
    Jun 2 2025
    The Chinchorro mummies are considered the oldest mummies in the world. Thousands of years older than the Egyptian mummies. And these were not pharaohs. They were everyday folks looking to hold on to what was most dear to them: The people they loved.

    An embrace from the past that would last for thousands upon thousands of years. That would last until today. And, hopefully, far into the future.

    This is episode 41 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange. Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.

  • Episode 40 | Palestino: Chile’s soccer club standing in defense of Palestine

    Episode 40 | Palestino: Chile’s soccer club standing in defense of Palestine
    May 30 2025
    Chile’s Club Deportivo Palestino is a soccer team founded more than a century ago by Palestinian immigrants in Santiago, Chile. Chile is home to the largest Palestinian community outside of the Middle East: half a million people.

    The team wears the country’s colors: white, green and red. In the stands, fans wear them too, as well as keffiyehs, the black-and-white scarves that represent Palestinian identity and resistance. Their slogan is: “More than a team, it is an entire people.”

    The team, the players, and the fans have remained outspoken in defense of Palestine. And outspoken against the violence in Gaza.

  • Episode 39 | How one Peruvian community fought a mine and won

    Episode 39 | How one Peruvian community fought a mine and won
    May 28 2025
    Parán is a small Indigenous community in the hills of Huaura, in central Peru. They are peach farmers. Their orchards line the mountainside. The same mountain where a new Canadian mine, known as Invicta, was beginning to operate. They feared for their future and that the mine would contaminate their precious springs, their only source of fresh water for their town and their peach trees.

    In 2018, they began an around-the-clock roadblock against a new mine. When they were attacked by armed thugs, they held a community meeting and the entire village—all adult men and women—agreed to participate in the protest against the mine.

    They were finally successful.

    This is episode 39 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange. Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.
