Bobbyowens_Catherine Liu is terribleYou gotta cut Catherine. All she does is make petty complaints and try to dress it up as theory. Completely incomprehensible.
-
Robin RobinovitchMostly bad, conspiracy mongering post leftismCan be good if they interview someone who is smarter than the hosts. At their worst it’s conspiracy minded culture warrior nonsense. Update: Philip Cunliffe Get a Real Job Challenge: Impossible
-
bjohns383Pretty GoodHosts are good about staying on topic while remaining interesting. Focused but not stale. I’m not so into the branding and music, but the discussion is pretty good (I’ve only listened to free episodes).
-
strong woman respectorDidn’t listenHaven’t listened. Reading the descriptions it kinda sounds gay. Sorry!
-
JPSerreIt’s just an advertisementI tried listening to this, and the people seemed interesting enough and like maybe they have interesting things to say. But all this really is is an advertisement for their “reading club,” and I wish they were more direct about that.

Viroqua62This Podcast should be mandatory listening for Americans who are trying to build a LeftAs a US citizen who spent decades of my younger adult living in the East End amongst Leftists, I find these guys a breath of calm, fresh air. Bright young leftists who can still be funny. As my (English) husband once asked years ago, “What’s up with all of these overly sincere, humourless, American hippies?” I answered, “How would I know? I grew up in rural Wisconsin.” It’s good to feel like I’m home Aufa Bunga people.

RA1815Great show, problematic feedGreat show; very entertaining and enlightening. My one issue though is that the feed is a complete mess. New episodes are hard to find, while older ones are hidden under a heap of 2-minute trailers. I’m not sure if I should blame the show, or the way iTunes catalogues old episodes. Either way, if you can manage to find new, complete episodes, this pod is gold! Keep it up lads!

mldhdEntertaining, educational, iffy politicsFind the podcast quite compelling and entertaining. Central thrust of the project (an autopsy of a Left they have separated themselves from) contains a lot of media class myopia (are teenagers on twitter canceling you really the driving cause of the left’s evaporating social base? Is Owen Jones a cause or might he be a symptom?) but the charm of the hosts and the level of analysis means there’s something valuable in most episodes. Do wish they would stop referring to the left as “they,” though. If you’re a Marxist you’re on the left whether you care to be or not, and the purpose of Marxist analysis is, after all, to change the world rather than describe it in various ways via interviews with intelligent guests.

Jackso25filmRelatively new listenerI’ve been listening for a few months now and really enjoy the format. They have different guests and it’s not always a current events round table, which I appreciate. Usually I can’t stand British accents, but these hosts have highly tolerable british or irish accents; their voices are actually quite pleasant.
-
@ChknNugtDeepSt8Best podcast on the leftI take something away from every episode and enjoy it all the while.
-
NervousFishdown III like my podcasts like I like my women…Witty and irreverent. This is the pure sauce right here, friends. They’re wrong about Brexit, but pretty much on point about everything else. And even when they’re wrong, they’re kind of right.
-
Redranger 81Never skip an episode.One of the best political podcasts if you're looking for a real working class analysis of the times.
-
Seminal_MasonreactionariesHorrible
-
Pyropenguin1Incoherent and Reactionaryludicrous ivory tower leftism
-
Hannah Blair PseudonymouslyListen to CalibungaThe aforementioned series is one the great achievements of both the podcasting medium and of 21st century class-first socialism. The rest of the show is good, too.
-
TimJibJabBest left politics podcast out thereThe American left is weak on international politics as well as largely incapable of doing real left cultural criticism without jargon, obscurantism, and celebrity worship. These are the strong points of this podcast.
-
hologrampaExcellentListened to an Amber episode and sucked into a dozen and counting. Great work everyone, keep it up.

Danny Glover's GloveGreat podcastOf my top podcasts. Very insightful analysis. I recommend this podcast to everyone.
-
Barry LeavittHighly recommend!Incredibly insightful analyses and discussion. I have learned a lot about the contemporary political landscape from this ‘cast and their well-chosen guests.
-
Tyler tykerFinancial support later, moral support nowThis show, although a bit tough to follow at times due to the level of expertise on the show, is extraordinary. This is exactly what I want in a long form podcast, deep dives into nuanced topics, cultural considerations into political/historical topics, and it’s funny sometimes. I like the show.

thediggy5It’s goodYou should listen.

gpcyrEssential ListeningOne of the best left podcasts. Provides a vital international perspective with depth and humor.
-
Upcountry VincePure (redistributive) goldOutstanding mix of serious interviews and insightful commentary, with a laugh or two for good measure. Essential listening for anyone craving a global perspective on politics and the Left without all the buzz-fueled outrage of the trendy-bendy identitariat or the self-aggrandizing hair splitting of the philosophy crowd.

idk679Great podcastThis is an excellent podcast. Stimulating discussions on a range of issues, with goofy banter in the mix too. Check it out.
