Everything Is A Riot
Everything Is A Riot
Podcast Description
Welcome to Everything is a Riot, a podcast where we reclaim "riot" as both an act of celebration and disruption. In this series, we dissect the everyday structures of power through an anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and anti-racist lens, challenging the systems that bind us and reimagining what freedom truly looks like. We’ll explore how resistance is not only about confrontation, but also about joy, community, and the creative disruption of the status quo. Because in a world where power seeks to control, a riot—whether born of joy or defiance—becomes a vital act of reclamation.

In this spirited episode, hosts Shangbie and Haris dive into the world of sports, where passion collides with politics, and the playing field is anything but level. Fresh off Arsenal’s sensational Champions League semifinal berth (and a cheeky dig at Liverpool’s woes), the conversation takes a sharp turn into the deeper currents of race, class, and hypocrisy in global sports.
Specifically, we discuss the Western male gaze on sports that are popular in the Global South, the hypocrisy in the Paris Olympics, and Eurocentrism and Elitism in football.
