“As few people have even heard of Kollontai, it was a surprise and a delight to find a whole podcast dedicated to her. I have been listening for a year and enjoying the way Kristen has interspersed the historical content with reflections on the current state of the world even though I’m normally impatient with such intrusions on media that are supposed to be dedicated to a specific subject. It provides a feeling of continuity that bridges the gap between Kollontai’s works of very different ideas and our own. My own approach to Kollontai’s era is as a student of Russian history so to hear her ideas framed in the context of contemporary socialist thought provides a whole new dimension. I hope the podcast continues to episode 470. If there’s one thing that’s a bit sparse - probably because it’s more frivolous than political! - I’d like to suggest an episode or two taking a direct look at Kollontai’s character in daily life; if the information is available. What was such a person actually like to speak to and work with?”

“I came here from Rev Left Radio and am currently catching up on all of the episodes—I have already learned so much! As a Slovak-born U.S. immigrant I am thrilled to be learning about all of the history I never had the chance to learn growing up. Highly recommend listening. Thank you Kristen!!”
