This is the inaugural episode of a brand new Party Girls series—Global Uprisings—where Jamie and Sam dive into revolts, revolutions and insurgencies as they spring forth around the planet. We are living through an unprecedented wave of uprisings and rebellions that have been sweeping the globe for the past 15 years, tune in to Party Girls - Global Uprisings to stay in the know.

In this episode Jamie and Sam explore the unfolding revolution in Myanmar, shining a light on the pro-democracy movement that has taken the country by storm in the wake of a 2021 military coup. Using "The Revolution in Myanmar," an interview conducted between Ill Will Editions and Azad, a freedom fighter in Myanmar, as its primary source, this episode also provides historical context and analysis of the dynamic and unfolding situation. What is the role of the revolutionary Organization in all of this? Why should communist partisans take an interest in a revolution if, at the end of the day, it is essentially fighting for bourgeois democracy? All of this and more on this weeks episode of Party Girls.

Hosted by Jamie Peck and Sam Beard, Party Girls is a conversation that blends sharp political analysis with the intimate, connective tissue of gossip. Jamie, known for her work on The Majority Report and other leftist commentary, teams up with Sam, a Chicago-based organizer, to create a space where theory meets the messy reality of daily life. The discussions here aren't dry lectures; they're lively, often funny, and deeply human, weaving together perspectives from news, music, and culture through a specific lens. You'll hear them dissect current events and political structures with the same earnest curiosity they apply to sharing stories and personal reflections. This podcast operates on the idea that the personal is political and the political can be surprisingly personal, finding the threads of collective struggle and joy in unexpected places. It’s a mix of thoughtful critique and casual, comedic rapport that makes complex ideas feel accessible and urgent. Tune in for a unique fusion of perspectives that challenges how we think about community, power, and the stories we tell each other.
