“Can be good if they interview someone who is smarter than the hosts. At their worst it’s conspiracy minded culture warrior nonsense.

“Hosts are good about staying on topic while remaining interesting. Focused but not stale. I’m not so into the branding and music, but the discussion is pretty good (I’ve only listened to free episodes).”

“I tried listening to this, and the people seemed interesting enough and like maybe they have interesting things to say. But all this really is is an advertisement for their “reading club,” and I wish they were more direct about that.”

“As a US citizen who spent decades of my younger adult living in the East End amongst Leftists, I find these guys a breath of calm, fresh air.
Bright young leftists who can still be funny.
As my (English) husband once asked years ago, “What’s up with all of these overly sincere, humourless,...”Read full review »

“Great show; very entertaining and enlightening. My one issue though is that the feed is a complete mess. New episodes are hard to find, while older ones are hidden under a heap of 2-minute trailers. I’m not sure if I should blame the show, or the way iTunes catalogues old episodes. Either way, if...”Read full review »

“Find the podcast quite compelling and entertaining. Central thrust of the project (an autopsy of a Left they have separated themselves from) contains a lot of media class myopia (are teenagers on twitter canceling you really the driving cause of the left’s evaporating social base? Is Owen Jones a...”Read full review »

Usually I can’t stand British accents, but these hosts have highly tolerable british or irish accents; their voices are actually...”Read full review »

“I’m so happy I found this podcast through listening to Amber on Chapo as a lot of people on the left do. Unlike Chapo this pod isn’t focused on comedy which allows a lot of the same subject matter to be explored in an academic and nuanced way. I’ve learned so much in a few episodes and haven’t...”Read full review »

“The American left is weak on international politics as well as largely incapable of doing real left cultural criticism without jargon, obscurantism, and celebrity worship. These are the strong points of this podcast.”
