À propos de ce contenu audio
In late 1983, inside a packed Los Angeles auditorium, a staged draft raid opened a rally called “The War at Home.” What followed was not just speeches — it was an attempt to connect battleships to steel mills, tomato fields to foreign policy, poetry to ballot initiatives.
In this episode, we dive into a remarkable recording from that night. A steelworker breaks down the economics of military spending. A former White House insider reframes patriotism as a moral choice. An urban planner imagines Los Angeles as an “army camp” dependent on global supply lines. Poets confront the human cost of war — at the border, in Central America, and in the barrio.
This wasn’t abstract ideology. It was a cultural space wrestling with the Cold War in real time — through theater, argument, and art.
From the Ash Grove archive, this is a story about what happens when music venues become civic battlegrounds — and what it means to ask where the money really goes.
