One Thousand

Ron Placone’s ambitious podcast reflects a polymath’s interests.

The mission statement for Ron Placone’s One Thousand is right there in the name: Interview a thousand people.

The newest episode features Zeynab Day. Zeynab’s background and work experiences are both diverse and universal. Topics include overpolicing in Appalachia; geology / Greg Graffin; and (of course) the duopoly.

From the episode description: “Zeynab Day is a campaigner, activist and journalist. She’s also a mom and an entrepreneur. She’s lived many lives and overcome many obstacles. We’ve crossed paths in similar circles and seen experiments succeed and fail. We reflect on that and more. Also, given some circumstances in my personal life, there’s a beautiful coincidence to the timing of this episode.”

Previous One Thousand guests have included Sabrina Salvati (Sabby Sabs), Margaret Kimberley (Black Agenda Report), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), and Cory Doctorow.

    I’m glad you appreciate the show, Luna. I’ve only listened to a few full episodes. Placone’s Youtube channel has shorts from every interview, which I usually watch.

    I like listening to a wide variety of voices, which is why I especially enjoy interview shows like One Thousand. I encourage you to browse the channel for yourself and see which appeal to your personal interests.

    The punk rockers have been interesting; it’s interesting to hear how rebellion is channeled as people age. I also liked Zeynab’s ep. I volunteered with her at the same organization a few years back and think she has an *excellent* perspective on electoral politics.
