Hosts & Guests
One of the most useful podcasts

One of the most useful podcasts available for understanding the world and the current moment.
Excellent insights, even for those who disagree

I am consistently struck by this podcast’s commitment to understanding widely divergent political traditions on their own terms. Its commitment to the systematic excavation of ideas as they develop over the long arc of history is admirable, even for those who might disagree with the podcast’s left-wing perspective.
sporadically great content, too many dudes

important listening and i have learned a lot from the content and work to contextualize movements. but the gender disparity in guests (who tend to hail from an in-crowd of jacobin and boston review adjacent micro-celebrities) can get depressing. the left is bigger than this. i listen in small doses. for example: it is currently june 2025, and last woman interviewed on any episode was back in march (on a two-guest interview where the other person was a dude). the last single-interview with a woman was in february. y’all: this is getting cliche!! i would support on patreon if there were more steps taken around gender parity. for now i highly recommend the outstanding “millennials are killing capitalism” pod as a less elitist, more radical alternative!
Super important
