Paul Edwards at a public protest in the United States.
Thanks to Patrice Greanville, I learned about Paul’s work, when he posted on The Greanville Post (www.greanvillepost.com) his recent article about the grizzly bears in Yellowstone National Park (https://www.greanvillepost.com/2018/10/02/the-canary-in-our-coal-mine/). I reached out to Paul and he kindly agreed to be on my show.
Presenting a downloadable SoundCloud podcast, YouTube video, as well as being syndicated on iTunes, Stitcher Radio, RUvid and Ivoox (links below).

He also writes for Counterpunch (https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/07/26/when-worse-is-the-enemy-of-bad/) and Information Clearing House (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/49499.htm).
Paul’s life story is worthy of a biography: a rebel youth growing up, traveling and working around the world and then a long career as a Hollywood writer. Through it all, he has never lost his lifelong wrath against US imperialism and global capitalism, while seeking social and economic justice for humanity’s 99%. Our discussion makes for a great interview, one that you don’t want to miss.
