The Final Straw Radio

Simplicity (with Mattie Lubchansky) + La Boina Anarquista archive in Chile

This week, we’re sharing two segments.

First up, Ian talks with cartoonist Mattie Lubchansky about her new book, Simplicity, out July 29 from Pantheon Graphic Library. The conversation touches on Mattie’s work as Associate Editor for The Nib, her history with comics, and her ambitions beyond the printed page, but mostly focuses on the role of art in organizing and living our politics amid all the compromises required of life in the Real World.

Then, you’ll hear the first part of an interview by Jurnal Anarki from Indonesia with the archive La Boina Anarquista, based in Chile. This interview was conducted by comrades at A-Radio Berlin and the whole interview (and much more) can be found in the July 2025 episode of B(A)D News: Angry Voices From Around The World
