Entertaining, educational, iffy politics
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 cause or might he be a symptom?) but the charm of the hosts and the level of analysis means there’s something valuable in most episodes. Do wish they would stop referring to the left as “they,” though. If you’re a Marxist you’re on the left whether you care to be or not, and the purpose of Marxist analysis is, after all, to change the world rather than describe it in various ways via interviews with intelligent guests.

One of the best leftwing podcasts out there. Always original, very entertaining, and global the range of topics it covers.

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.

Incredibly insightful analyses and discussion. I have learned a lot about the contemporary political landscape from this ‘cast and their well-chosen guests.
