Podcast by Biju Matthew: Thinking through the times, an interview with Romeo Reynoso

Biju Matthew in conversation with Romeo Reynoso, a young engineer based in New York City who works at the intersection of environmental, anti racist and other Left struggles.

Thinking through the times is a reflective series that begins by acknowledging that we live in a period in which multiple crises are unfolding at different scales at the same time. It seeks to  speak with people involved in organizing without speaking for them, seeking to let their voices be heard with the hope of fostering, thoughtful, careful and respectful engagement.
