Not Against my Grain :)

“I listen to over fifty, mostly political/cultural, podacsts a week. I delete and fast-forward with glee whenever I can: if I find the topic or segment or its treatment boring; if it's something with which I'm already quite familiar and consider I can skip; if it's merely propaganda; if it's something about which I just don't want to care about right there and then. Against the Grain isn't "easy listening": if I half-listen for more than a few seconds, I have to rewind. Listening to Against the Grain and trying to do much of anything else doesn't much work for me. And it's a nearly hour-long podcast, three times a week. So, it's with no small measure of satisfaction and relief when I find myself listening to something I just don't want to know about: I can delete it and get on with the next podcast or with something else. The rest of the time, which is almost all of the time, it's a treat. I rarely relisten to anything: I have lots of time but not ~that~ much; and I'm not that kind of self-indulgent. When I do relisten to something -- either for the sheer pleasure or because duty would seem to demand it -- it's often Against the Grain.”Read full review »

“Think of it as an left-wing, intellectual version of NPR's Fresh Air. Everything from the history of the Black Panther Party, to Spanish anarchism, to the origins of chess. Informative, eclectic, non-dogmatic, and often explains complex ideas in concise, engaging ways with a great mix of...”Read full review »

“This has been my favorite podcast for over 5 years. I never miss it! CS and Sasha are excellent interviewers with deep knowledge of their own that they draw on in each episode. And they speak with brilliant and interesting people! Thank you and keep up the good work!”
