Everything for Everyone Part 1: Wasalna El-Chalet with Eman Abdelhadi

Eman Abdelhadi co-wrote Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072, my favorite book in the longest time. I love it so much I'm doing the podcast's first ever two-episode week featuring separate episodes with Eman and her co-author, M.E. O'Brien. So stay tuned!

Content warning: banana peel violence, Islam, being a "bad" Muslim, polycule drama, the literal most idyllic Relive 1 Memory segment ever.
