Deja Coup:  Brazil's Insurrection

Deja Coup: Brazil's Insurrection

Author: Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show January 10, 2023 Duration: 23:33
Two years after the January 6 assault on the Capitol in Washington DC, hundreds of right wing followers of the former Brazilian President Jair Bolsanaro launched an attempted coup in their country’s capital Brasilia, vandalising the Presidential Palace, Congress buildings and the Supreme Court.   Order now seems to have been restored, but the parallels with the attempt to overthrow Joe Biden’s election are more than co incidental. Bolsonaro was an ally of Donald Trump – like him a nationalist populist - and Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon has called those who sought to unseat the democratically elected government of President Lula “freedom fighters”. Adrian Goldberg hears from Rodrigo Nunes, a Brazilian political analyst from the Catholic University of Rio and author of a recent book on Bolsonarismo  Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg.   Funded by subscriptions to the Byline Times.

Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show is exactly that: a series of conversations driven by the host's curiosity about the people and forces shaping our world. This podcast sits at the intersection of society and culture, exploring the stories behind the headlines and the ideas that often go unexamined. Adrian brings his journalistic background to each discussion, creating a space where guests-from thinkers and writers to everyday people with extraordinary experiences-can speak in depth. The tone is engaging and thoughtful, more like a compelling chat in a quiet pub than a formal interview. You'll hear explorations of politics, community shifts, artistic movements, and the subtle ways our lives are changing. It’s a show built on the premise that good talk can illuminate the bigger picture, one conversation at a time. Listeners find themselves drawn into dialogues that are both timely and timeless, where the focus is on understanding rather than spectacle. Tune in for a podcast that values substance and genuine exchange, where the title truly is the promise.
