Very good, but...
Excellent podcasts (not Killjoy FM, which really doesn't hold a candle to the original podcasts) hosted by Aaron, James, and Ash. Thoughtful, critical and thought provoking. Highly recommended alternative to the yarns woven by the likes of Newsnight and the mainstream press. But the podcasts need more diversity and must address a broader range of issues. The news cycle is just moving far faster than Novara is able to churn out podcasts and they are struggling to keep up. They often update tardily and sometimes fall in frequency. More podcasts and greater consistency would be greatly apprecaited. It's understandable given it is a small operation, and they have certainly done wonders with the means at their disposal, but I am sure they will be able to expand and augment the scope of their coverage with more time and financial support. The focus on British politics is important and needed, but there is also a need to go beyond it and diversify. More on US politics and the struggles of the global South would be welcomed - the coverage frankly is often terribly Eurocentric/Anglo-American centric. More guests should be invited to come along and speak, so the podcasts don't become repetitve. Each presenter has 'their issue' so to speak, and constantly return to it, but inviting more guests with disparate academic and activist backgrounds might alleviate repetitiousness somewhat. I say this as a big fan of the podcast and as someone who wishes to see it go from strength to strength and continue to develop and grow. The concern is that interest will flat line and the audience shrink if they fail to evolve. Anyway, that's my 2 cents, feel free to take it or leave it.Read full review »

The clear presentation of Marxist thought, its skillful application to present concerns, the...Read full review »

Informative, intelligent, and funny. I’ve been following them for years, and it’s been a pleasure. If you want a critical analysis of politics then you’ll find no better than this team of knowledgable people. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Excellent political analysis & discussion of challenges of 21 century capitalism. A UK mostly non-sectarian socialist take on current affairs in the UK & beyond. You’ll be armed with analysis and arguments for organising in real struggles not sad commentary divorced from it. “Tyskysour”...Read full review »
