There are THREE versions of this panel on the R4A server:

Version 1: The full talk (41:20) optimized for RADIO PLAY (-24 LUFS 192kbps Mp3).

Version 2: The full talk (41:20) optimized for INDIVIDUAL USE (-19 LUFS 64kbps Mp3). Identical content to Version 1, but a louder file encoded at a lower bitrate so it uses less storage space on your device.

Version 3: On 9/12/24 I added a 57:30 RADIO READY edit (-24 LUFS 192kbps mp3, Includes my intro/mid/outro). It consists of excerpts from the Insurgent Labor panel and the Direct Democracy in the US panel, and of a song I wrote called "Gaza (The First Day of Your Life)".

In the interest of not limiting the scope of radio play, I silenced or omitted several potentially offensive words in this talk.
