The Fire These Times (TFTT) is a weekly independent podcast launched by Lebanese-Palestinian writer and researcher Elia Ayoub in March of 2020.

Born out of a desire to explore transformative ideas amidst global upheavals, this podcast seeks answers two pressing questions:

How can we build the new in the shell of the old? And how do we make it easier to imagine the end of capitalism than the end of the world?

TFTT is where you’ll find hosts and guests uncovering commonalities and shared experiences, fostering a dialogue on building stronger bonds and collective action moving forward.

TFTT is part of the From The Periphery Media Collective. To support us, please head out to our Patreon!

Visual identity

The Fire Next Time is a book by James Baldwin in which he warned that civilization is not destroyed by the wicked but by the spineless, and the fox is a nod to the fox in Le Petit Prince who winds up being the young character’s companion as he finds his way.
