“Pretty cliché... and still accurate. This podcast continues to encourage listeners to not just think critically about what's wrong with the current dominant economic system, but act as individuals and communities to resist this model and develop alternatives for all of us!”Read full review »

“I used to like this podcast, but as I’ve grown in my politics I see now how these people are just NPR wannabes with “socialist” aesthetics.

“This is the best left wing podcast I’ve ever found. They’re guests are so on point and great communicators. The tone is thoughtful, and they give weight to the issues but don’t spend too long on outrage. They let facts and theory demonstrate injustice on its own.”
