Hello there. We've been on a health break. But we are still here. We still pod. We've got a new episode for you.
In our latest episode and the first of a new and exciting mini-series (henceforth WLNL) on the actually-existing Nigerian Left, we have a chat with Comrade Chido Onumah, a journalist and archivist, about the Socialist Library and Archive (SOLAR) Calabar, and its ongoing digitization project. We were curious to know, amongst other things, about the origins of SOLAR, their ongoing work, what lay behind the impulse of Comrades Eddie and Bene Madunagu handing over their Combined and Extended Library over to the Nigerian Left -- and, of course, what the gesture means in practical terms. Enjoy.
