Great leftwing political analysis and interviews

25-09-2017

Q-collective

This podcast is a great resource if you are looking for political analysis from a leftwing perspective. The host, Daniel Denvir, interviews a lot of interesting people, from a broad field, adding richness to the shows. The focus is on US politics, but there are international episodes too. I wish we had such a podcast across the pond.
