“In depth discussions on critical topics with broad historical contexts. Truly appreciate the breath of knowledge from Brian, Eugene and the guests, providing important antidote to manufactured consent.”

“Antonio Gramsci said “to tell the truth is revolutionary.” Listen to The Socialist Program if you want to learn the truth about the nature and implications of the US’s oppressive, profit-obsessed political economy (both domestically and internationally), and how we can work to change it.”

“This podcast.and its means of production should be owned by the listeners, not just the host, Brian. After all, without listeners there wouldn’t be a podcast and listeners often submit topics and questions for content. The listeners are the workers.”

“Seems vain to have a clip of yourself talking for the intro. There’s not even a vocal effect, so it sounds like he randomly changes the subject”

“I guess it depends on where you live, I payed 3 dollars for 18 pack of eggs yesterday and 1.99 for pound of cheese, I suppose if you live in big cities that supply is hard to keep up with, I don’t think that we will ever let anyone starve in our country there is always resources, on the other...”Read full review »

There aren’t many outlets giving the perspective you do - especially so consistently, and without even subbing to...”Read full review »

“The show can be nauseating when they praise China and Russia. They’re not great alternatives to the US. Maybe advocate against all nation states? For those reasons I don’t consider this a socialist or communist podcast, but just a podcast obsessed with the destruction of the United States.”

Unfortunately, like so many on the left, they’re trapped by ideology and can’t see how corporate capitalism has rotted out, captured and corrupted the very institutions they trust and want to expand. Ironically it’s the working class that understand and...”Read full review »
