Absolute best show for leftists who appreciate more signal and less noise

2018/04/26

Doug is one of the very few people on the left we have who is serious and professional. Hard to believe you could ever listen to a single episode and not have gained some important insight from diverse, studious leftists' perspectives on our world.
Henwood's show is a must

I'm unsubscribing, because the episode description provides no clue as to topics covered. I wish I had the time to download and listen to every episode, but I don't. I think I'm probably not alone. Bad practice of KPFA generally.
