While not as focused as Zerobooks’ excellent YouTube videos, this podcast and Douglas Lane are the very best in Marxism today.

Zero books is seriously a gift to the left this podcast is great and Douglas Lain is very fair to all his guest it’s very hard not to like it

Interesting talk about real ideas from the non-identitarian Left. I definitely recommend giving a listen.

This is the podcast which I have been waiting for.

While the marriage of three different podcasts that Diet Soap has become can cause one to shift gears a lot, it is a very enjoyable podcast that explores the liminal space between Rick Roderick, Philip K. Dick, and Karl Marx.

Diet Soap is a great podcast for those interested in the radical left. Full of interesting audio clips and collages, and replete with great in depth interviews on everything from Karl Marx to Karl Marx! More please...

A very accessible podcast. Concepts that have escaped me for years are discussed clearly, with everyday examples.

Diet Soap is fiction author Douglas Lain’s unashamedly (and refreshingly) partisan Marxist podcast. Because the host’s idiosyncratic curiosities set the agenda, the interviews can initially seem somewhat eclectic and it is doubtful anyone will equally enjoy all the content. Some may elect to skip...Read full review »

I am delighted to have found Diet Soap. I can turn to this show when I need nourishment for my mind, and reassurance that the questions I'm interested in aren't hopelessly obscure! This is not lowest common denominator entertainment. When I'm listening to this podcast, I really listen. Thanks,...Read full review »

Author Doug Lain interviews an impressive range of thinkers on topics of social and cultural importance from a largely critical, leftist, and often Hegelian perspective. The podcast distinguishes itself in its production: Lain frequently intersperses interviews with sound collages and...Read full review »

Not only bad quality but cynically dumb

I've been looking for a philosophy podcast that could enlighten, entertain, and generally keep me engaged; only found this because of his book interview on another podcast. Love the view points and sound bytes. Great work

Always eclectic and entertaining. Tune in you just may learn something new.

Awesome

Lain always has great guests and an off-beat take on current issues. His questions are thoughtful and he doesn't pull his punches.

Thanks Diet Soap for being consistently brilliant, entertaining and curiosity-quenching... As well as, of course, being integral to any critical politically conscious web surfer.

Listened to the interview of Cooney. Very well done and informative. Not sure I agree with the harsh treatment of Wolff, and of his support for worker coops. Yes, they aren't the end all solution, but they seem to be a great starting point for a the type of movement necessary for Marxist praxis...Read full review »

If Philip K Dick were an earnest and humble philosophy geek he might put something together like this. Features a signature aesthetic of interview, sound collage and Titanic trivia. The host is seriously dedicated and uses the podcast to launch other creative projects. A rotation of guest both...Read full review »

Diet Soap podcast is a fun romp through contemporary themes and ideas, interviews with alternative thinkers and artists. I enjoy it!

Not fanatic. Best expert podcast since C-Realm, and there have been a lot.
scott mackie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/09
This podcast goes places you might not expect. The noise art is great, the Titanic facts are endearing, and the guests and topics never disappoint.
