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 »

Every week the Novara team grapple with one of the big issues facing British or international politics or a key theme impacting political life: race, class, gender, mechanical automation, radical Left strategy, Turkish politics, the concept of democracy and so on. The depth and bredth of analysis...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Novara for over 6 years now, and their output is consistently excellent. Particular highlights include the flagship FM show and the Lockdown podcast. Well worth paying an hour’s wage a month for (though maybe a patreon page would help reach more people...?) Keep up the...Read full review »
