Conter Radio

Conter have decided to put most of their podcasts behind a Patreon paywall from 2024, so they are not as widely available as they were. Hence the 4 stars not 5. But where else can you get a radical left podcast that isn’t afraid to get critical about the EU, Ukraine and the SNP? They’re pro-Scottish independence but they’re also anti-capitalist fundamentalists, with a global outlook. It’s a perspective that might be too negative for some (cf. Lesley Riddoch’s term “the miserablists”) but they always leave me feeling cheered up. Recommended (if you can afford to subscribe).

If you’ve got this far, you’ll enjoy it. Thoughtful, concise and well produced socialist discussion that has never been more relevant and essential. Reminds you of ideals we can and should be striving to move towards.

Get on the Contercast it’s great.

The sort of non conforming political chat-cast I was looking for in the landscape of becoming well annoyed with the guardian this week in politics-but-is-it-really-too-different-from-what-Andrew-Neil-is-peddlin’ crap. These guys are pure.
