MartyrMade Podcast #1: Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem, pt. 1 Darryl Cooper 2021-08-02 | The conflict between Israel and Palestine can often seem like a permanent feature of the global order. The wars, intifadas, refugees camps, suicide vests, UN resolutions, and peace talks have been painfully burned into our collective consciousness. But how could this have happened? Was it always this way? That's what we'll seek to find out in this three-part series on the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.In Episode #1, nations are rallying to throw off the yoke of the Great Powers, and demanding the sovereign right to rule their homelands. A group calling themselves Zionists puts out a call to awaken the oppressed Jews of Europe from their thousand-year slumber. The time had come, after two thousand years of homeless wandering, to return to Palestine, the land longed for in so many psalms and lamentations. But there was a problem. While the Jews were in exile, another people had moved into the land, and they had been living there for 1300 years.Available on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you enjoy this, please consider visiting the website and making a donation (www.martyrmade.com).

I put my soul into each episode I release, then stay up sweating at night over everything I could have done to make it better. I didn't push out MartyrMade t-shirts until I had time to work with competent designers and create something worth wearing.And so, in collaboration with the artist Arthur Kwon Lee, I am VERY proud to present a LIMITED EDITION print of "Martyr Made" (2021), inspired by my episode "The Anti-Humans". From the artist: "This intense masterpiece depicts the iconic bronze Boxer at Rest from the Hellenistic art period. The literary and aesthetic lineage of this statue is renowned for its symbolism of enduring great suffering. This limited edition print represents the sentiment of masculine resilience in the face of tragedy and a recognition of the monumental sacrifices that under girds the freedom that most Americans today take for granted. This work of art was produced whilst listening to the many articulations of The MartyrMade Podcast, which exhibits compassion for humanity and respect for tradition while acknowledging the bloody reality of human nature. -AKL"Only 50 prints will be made available.

MartyrMade #3 - Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem, pt. 3: Nostalgia & Naivety in Honor Culture Darryl Cooper 2021-08-03 | We're halfway through Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem, the history of Zionism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. (If you haven't listened to the first two episodes, you might want to do that for background, but this episode is an exploratory aside that can stand on its own as well.) I decided to throw something together to answer a few questions and get down in the weeds to talk about Arab tribal dynamics, honor culture, religion, and the mutual incomprehension that helped construct the Middle Eastern mousetrap a century ago, and remains an obstacle to progress in the region today.This podcast is also available on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you enjoy this, please consider visiting the website and making a donation to help me keep doing this (www.martyrmade.com).

MartyrMade #2: Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem, pt. 2 - Jews, Arabs & National Identity Darryl Cooper 2021-08-02 | The Arabs and the Zionists in Palestine struggle to get their bearings in a ruined world. The smell of gunsmoke still lays thick over the landscape, and the ink is still wet on the Balfour Declaration and the several new international agreements. The First World War is over, and people around the world are demanding their independence in the new world order. But building a national identity takes more than just drawing lines on a map or running a rag up a flagpole.

The MartyrMade Podcast - Gods Socialist: The Rise and Fall of Peoples Temple Darryl Cooper 2019-03-01 | When the 1960s began, Dwight Eisenhower was President, Frankie Avalon was at the top of the charts, and few Americans had heard of Vietnam. By the end of the decade, the country had been politically and culturally transformed by war, the civil rights movement, and a youth rebellion unprecedented in American history.
