Terrific, Thorough

“I happened on the PPA podcast while in the midst of consuming an ever-growing list of contemporary leftist thought and practice. As a New Englander, (foundering) beekeeper, student of agroecology and herbalism, and a marketer to make ends meet, darn near everything discussed appeals and enlightens.
First, the good:
Guests are deeply compelling, experts in their fields, with deep dive expertise and/or insight.
Topics are thoroughly researched and backed up with sources and information.
The hosts are terrific advocates and really try to live what they preach, at least from what they say, I don’t know them personally.
Andy’s jokes aren’t *that* bad. Really! Dad jokes have their place.
If you’re interested in small-scale agriculture, doing more to combat climate change, and discovering where climate change, ecology, and capitalism intersect, this is a terrific and entertaining podcast, filled with actionable advice and insight.
The not quite as good:
Like many a leftist pod, there’s too much d*ck in the room, no offense to Nash. You cannot achieve diversity of thought without diversity of voices and as a someone pushing 40, I’m exhausted.
Andy has an inexplicable hatred for permaculture, even though it’s more or less a part of agroecology and, IMO, is a great gateway drug for the average person to approach the idea of regenerative agriculture designed to combat climate change. (Permaculture principles Agroecological solutions = accessible means of regenerative food production for the regular human.)
Editing for concision would behoove the crew - sometimes it’s just riffing inside jokes for themselves and I’m tuned out when they return to relevant content.
Anyway, give it a listen. It’s absolutely worth your time.”

“I’m a biologist by training and a community organizer by trade. I find this is the perfect balance between necessary deep dives and a general overview of these topics. This is also a welcome break from other leftist podcasts, with a focus on coalition building and how to work practically with...”Read full review »
