Episode 10: The New York Photo League, Magnum, The Surrealists in the 1930s

The 1930s, 40s and 50s saw various Social Movements of the Left in the Western World seek to smash facism, fight for Social Justice and Workers rights and document and publish to the world's media, the plight of the poor. This espisode explores the New York Photo League ( http://photography.about.com/library/weekly/aa100801a.htm ) and Magnum Photo Agency (www.magnumphotos.com). We also broadcast the Pod Report for the first time directly on location in Paris Montparnasse Cemetary. We explore the neighbourhood as it was in the 1930s where it was a hang-out of the Surrealist Movement to modern day Montparnasse where the same familiar landmarks remain but it is now inhabited by an entirely different sub-culture, that of the rich Parisians...The modern day Surrealist Movement still goes strong in Paris (see http://surrealisme.ouvaton.org/ ) For some hot Reggae see Jammin INC ( www.jammin-inc.de ) and for some cool Jazz see The Core ( http://thecoremusic.blogspot.com/ ) I feature 'Propoganda' and 'Mobius Triplet' respectively. This episode was partly recorded on location, in Paris. Originally Published 8th Jan 2006.
