Hi, it was really disappointing to listen to your latest episode and hear you continuously use the word marijuana. David never once used that word and always used the word cannabis. marijuana is a pejorative and is not a word that should be used. I hope you’ll consider taking that word out of...Read full review »

Everyone should listen to this to balance out the prevailing propaganda.

I didn’t appreciate how good the Upstream episodes were until I listened to a few of the guests on other flashy “bro” type podcasts on YouTube. Rob in particular is well read and and informed enough on each topic to allow the guests to flourish and really expand on their topics. Don’t waste your...Read full review »

Have you ever had the experience of hearing your thoughts spoken aloud by someone you’ve never met? That’s what this podcast does. Questions we all have, solutions we’ve all fantasized, and now finally realizing that we can build community around these values. I learn so much every episode....Read full review »

Upstream has done for my political education than 3 years at university - I am not being hyperbolic. Crucial conversations that will open your mind and inspire you along the way. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I love the hosts, the guests, and the conversations. Learn so much from each episode. Really helps crystallize and synthesize a lot of disparate ideas floating around in my head. And their Patreon is great too!! Highly recommend!!

Good stuff, focuses on a future w/o empire. Speaks to the actual humanity we’re all striving for which requires the destruction of our god: the dollar.

First ever podcast review: Over the past year this pod cast had slowly changed not only the way I think, but also the way I am able to express and communicate my thoughts and opinions. It had given me a voice and concrete reasoning to help me share my ideas and beliefs. This podcast has allowed...Read full review »

It’s a community, it’s an educational library, it’s a revolutionary act. I keep coming back for more and my mind continues to expand beyond my previous beliefs or expectations.

Great podcast to inform our movements - even if you don’t agree with everything, it opens up space to talk about values and how we get to the world we want

Bourgeois liberal grifters with a complete inability to receive mild criticism. Don’t waste your time with this podcast.
riv3th3ad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/24
If anything should be compulsory, it should be This podcast. I never caught the craze of podcasts but because of the Upstream Instagram, I started listening to this, and I only wish I started sooner. At minimum, follow their Instagram for snippets &amp; text posts. You don’t hate Mondays, you...Read full review »

Run far and fast away from this podcast. The people behind it refuse to engage in good faith debates about their content and will block anyone who tries to share a different point of view or facts that go against their claims. They spew lies and misinformation even after being corrected. They...Read full review »

So well done. Y’all are talking about everything I want to be hearing. Love the perspectives, that I am learning/unlearning/challenged, and also feel met wherever I am at in any given issue. I think this is exactly what we need more of in this world. You are shifting the dominant narrative, and...Read full review »

This pod is new to me and I’ve been recommending it to friends because I’m usually bad at audio content but Upstream has managed to keep me engaged with super informative conversations. I love smart people!!!
TuCochitica via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/24
I’ve found Upstream so incredibly refreshing, informative and valuable in my own self-education about alternative systems, politics and cooperative economics. Thank you for your hard and excellent work!!

Iv started listening recently and the quality of these podcasts is incredible. Im a university student and sometimes I think I could have saved myself the money and just listened to upstream.

This show is excellent. I cannot give it five stars though because their intro/outro music and the song intermissions are all horrendous.

I really enjoy the thoughtful and deep exploration of topics. And the expert guests.

The 3 part series was great but I especially enjoyed this conversation. I whole heartedly agree with the doctors that we need to build solidarity across all parts of society to take on the power structures that allow these terrible events to continue

This podcast is life changing. It made me realize there are lots of other people who think and feel similarly to me, and across a wide spectrum. It gives me so much hope for what we can do moving forward 💗
kslabs007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/23
These are really well done and worthy of my ear time. A few are on my playlist for re-listens to inspire me and hopefully become more a part of how I think so that I, too, can describe the possibilities that exist in human life.

Invaluable insights into contemporary discourses of critical voices on the political economy. The more I listen, the more I learn.
