Novara FM: Read Some Effing Jameson! w/ Sianne Ngai and Matthew Beaumont
The exhortation to “read some effing Orwell!” is an old chestnut of the online left, whether ironic or sincere, or somewhere in between. But if we’re looking for a writer whose body of work truly anticipates the world we live in now – globalised, postcolonial, postmodern – we might instead turn to the American Marxist […]

London is a foodie metropolis: undoubtedly one of the best places to eat in the world.

Customer Reviews
Great news and political theory podcasts
I was listening to the Novara live as an alternative way getting my news but I am really enjoying the ACFM podcasts, they are especially excellent quality!!!
Mixed bag but some excellent episodes
Some fantastic conversations with authors of popular economics and other texts mean I want to give Novara 5 stars. Some episodes however don't interest me as much. Seems to be fewer, shorter episodes here on apple than what's available on YouTube.
I'm concerned the channel might be a bit over intellectual for general public, unexplained references to Shakespeare in a discussion of It's a Wonderful Life for example went way over my head
Well Sourced, well done
A wicked resource to stay informed of the most relevant and prominent issues.
