I miss the old Ideas!
I used to be a huge Ideas fan. I listened to it every evening for several years. I loved the educational and thought-provoking subjects they explored. Now, it’s become almost unlistenable – totally dominated by the liberal/leftist agenda. If the episode is not some dry, somber spiel examining gender or race, they will somehow find a way to insert a few lines about gender or race. Or perhaps glorify some woman’s achievements. I’m a young woman, and I find it eye-rollingly irritating! It’s sad to watch one of your favourite podcasts turn into a globalist mouthpiece propaganda machine. Politics aside, the general quality has gone downhill – the writing, interview subjects, content, etc. Make more interesting documentary-style episodes about random fascinating and educational things like music, psychology, nature, law, bees, the Socratic method, Leonardo DaVinci.... you know... things that are interesting!!

The basic premise of who is a leftist is a total joke. Big problem cause it marginalizes Actual Progressives.
