Novara Media

Great platform

Novara

Love the recent interviews by Ash, but what the heck was that George Galloway episode? This con man doesn’t deserve a platform. Edit: Coming back after a few weeks, giving another star. Consistently these podcasts are well done. China was talked about recently with the caution that life is terrible for most (many?) people, and leftists in the west have no idea. Election in India with Modi came up too. I really appreciate that they talked about how loved and revered Modi is, even among the guest speaker’s family. That’s accurate. Keep at it, and thanks.

Novara entered my consciousness while grieving the death of the late David Graeber (Novara hosted Graeber as a guest). Since then, I’ve continued following Novara’s excellent reporting. In this time of crisis RE: political representation, “objectivity” most frequently functions to smokescreen “centrist” technocratic manipulations. For folks on the abysmally represented Left–in the UK and beyond–Novara Media is an oasis of reporting, opinion, and analysis lacking the hostilities of folks who insist “both sides” must be given equal airtime, even when one side is totalitarian, fascist, and global. Hosts Ash Sarkar and Aaron Bastani are personal favorites; sharp, critical, intelligent and engaging. I’m so grateful for their thoughtful stewardship of political, intellectual, cultural and aesthetic values. Solidarity forever. Long live Novara Media.
