Ever since I found the podcast, I became a dedicated listener. The guests are rigorous and encyclopedic in their knowledge, but also very accessible. They always make sure to propel us towards hopeful action, built on solidarity and justice.
Critical education to bring down US imperialism

Thank you so much Daniel. This project and these conversations are utterly critical education for the twisted, wicked world we live in; this has been a critical place of learning and unlearning from within the imperial core. Palwaystine will be free
Highly Recommended

Been listening since 2018, super impressed with the high quality of the content. Big fan of the (now fairly old) episodes from the Symposium on American Slavery and of the new 17-part series on the history of Arab Radicalism. You won’t regret listening!
