[**Listen here.**](https://crimethinc.com/podcast/hotwire-37) The world is a dangerous place in 2018-[Botham Jean is murdered in his own home](https://www.khou.com/article/news/special-reports/botham-jean/dozens-protest-over-botham-jean-shooting-briefly-shutting-down-i-30/287-594591173)  by a Dallas cop and police are actively raiding the rebel encampment in the [Hambach Forest](https://hambachforest.org/).  There’s inspiring strike resistance in Central and South America where [striking dockworkers in Chile](https://www.biobiochile.cl/noticias/nacional/region-de-tarapaca/2018/09/14/disturbios-en-el-acceso-a-zofri-dejan-19-detenidos-y-serios-destrozos-en-iquique.shtml) caused thousands of dollars in damage and a [general strike in taking place in Costa Rica](https://www.nacion.com/sucesos/seguridad/maxi-pali-en-limon-saqueado-durante-noche-marcada/UUOCDL5JORACVDO7LDTNSZOA7Q/story/). Hurricane Florence took [Wilmington by storm](https://www.gofundme.com/autonomous-aid-for-florence) and we interview anarchists on the ground doing disaster relief.  There are quite a few prisoners who need support and we read excerpts from a [heartfelt statement](https://itsgoingdown.org/nova-scotia-unceded-mikmaw-territory-statement-by-prisoners-ending-strike-at-the-burnside-jail/) issued by prisoners at the Burnside Prison in Halifax who are ending their strike. Anarchists in London are trying [something new](https://www.facebook.com/anarchistfestival)! And there’s lots of events coming up!
