Interviews and features from CKUT’s community news and arts & culture teams.
The Amandla! Radio Podcast is the offspring of the beloved Amandla! Radio Show, which aired on CKUT for over 3 decades. Amandla! is committed to busting racist stereotypes of Africa with coverage that brings African voices, struggles and visions to the fore, and roots stories in historical context. “Amandla ngawethu!” means “Power to the people!” It was the revolutionary cry of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, and is the guiding vision of the podcast.
Samaa Elibyari is a long-time activist in the Arab/Muslim community in Montreal. She has been a host/producer of Caravan, a weekly bilingual news program, broadcast on CKUT waves from 2000 till 2011. Presently, she is one of the monthly contributors to Amandla, a staple of CKUT’s news programming since 1987.
Signs of the Times is a show trying to understand the uncharted cultural waters that we find ourselves in today. We talk with artists, activists, and academics from Tiotia:ke/Montréal who are doing relevant, interesting, and empowering work in our communities, tracing out the various factors that are currently driving our culture to figure out where we’re going and how we can steer towards a better destination.
