“I love the content, but due to misophonia have a really difficult time listening to the host speak. I don’t know enough about microphone technology, but it sounds like the mic is IN his mouth making it nearly impossible for me to listen to. I frequently have to fast forward past those sections.”

“Glad to see Jay and the team got the memo on the new "conservatives are weird" branding. I was beginning to think they were out of the loop. It's a compilation show of various left leaning podcasts. It keeps me informed on where their party is moving next. Current to a point but still...”Read full review »

“Each episode brings a variety of progressive perspectives (yes, there are different ones within the broad left). Expert curation drawing from a huge number of podcasts -- well known and more obscure.”

“I have tried to like this podcast because of progressivism. But, the constant push of advertising, joining to donate, and “special” content when this podcast is a compilation of other shows without the cost of original journalism. It begins to feel like platform for the host.
The last straw,...”Read full review »

“Kindly refresh my memory, I seem to have forgotten - when was it that slaves or freed slaves were offered 50-60% of the land mass of the United States to form a nation - refused it - moved to Canada and Mexico and supported an invasion of the US with intent of claiming the entire nation and...”Read full review »

Subscribe if you can. Lack of funding makes good people use horrible companies to survive. It’s money well...”Read full review »

“I would think China is a major contributor to Climate Change and the least likely to acknowledge it… China produces 30.6% of the globe's carbon dioxide emissions and more than twice as much carbon pollution as the United States which was the next highest emitter at 13.5%.

“With so much to listen to, it’s hard to know where to start. Jay and his team perform an invaluable service, curating the best content from across the progressive pod-universe around a carefully selected topic. The result is a podcast that’s much more than the sum of its parts. Breaks down silos,...”Read full review »

“My mantra is take a listen to all different takes on a subject, news item, etc.. before coming to a conclusion. Best of the Left is a great round up, as the title of the pod says, curated by Jay. Curating is an art, like a dj culling, he culls through oodles of reporting then spotlighting the...”Read full review »

“Tune in to find out how far “left” the market liberals are willing to venture…. And with hot clips from Neoliberal Public Radio and rAdiCaLs like Robert Reich, it’s really not far at all 😔. At least the interlude music is nice tho. 2 stars”

“This can’t be taken seriously because it’s filled with far left vitriol. We can not divide from within. The progressives are a very small party of the party and 2020 proves they do not have a mandate. Center yourself and stop selling the divide.”

“Entertaining. This tribe lives in a arcane space with it’s own language: “micro aggressions,” “Intersectionalisms,” “selective pronouns.” Unfortunately, not even a basic understanding of economic incentives and the blessings of Constitutional freedom.”

“This is the best the Left has to offer😂. No wonder they had to cheat to win the election. Their policies are garbage, and no one actually believes in them, even themselves. They want to subtly destroy America because they are miserable wretches.”
