Customer Reviews
Intelligent, clear sighted.
Absolutely fantastic
Hmmm
Be aware that this is largely leftist narrative drizzled with factual information. Be prepared to hear anarchist-communism being called left wing, whilst right wing philosophy is invariably denoted far or alt right. There is a real range of guests, from credible journalists to ill-informed LARPers. I’d recommend listening to this as part of a range of commentary, and a sample of wider research. If you take this as the last word on these topics then your probably the weird one in your friendship group.
Fantastic
So happy I found popular front - I’m not treated like an idiot - not told what to think! I have learned so much from listening to Jake and his guests- a refreshing honest look at lesser known conflict
