Like, I see all these other shows making podcast empires (Chapo has one, Rev left has one, etc.) while the podcast of the website continues to only be featured in Intercepted once. You'd think there would be more crossover between them and other left shows considering how popular Gramscian critiques are.

    Because they do work not entertainment, also they done some cross episodes with delete your account and trillbillies?

    Revleft is more theory/history, chapo is entertainment, not a lot of cross section with contemporary journalism/culture

      I forgot about the Trillbillies episode. Not sure if I remember the Delete your Account episode.

      I just find it hard to conceptualize CN as anything more than the spectacle than we normally see, even if they do routinely make the correct left take.

        Pointing out curtains and stage lights continuously on variety of issues is in itself valuable, kinda like reading manufacturing consent/inventing reality on some random topic each week.

        Course it’s not praxis, it’s radicalization tool of “I didn’t see it this way”, but it’s not like podcast of “john collecting signatures for strike” would be particularly advisable podcast

          Agitprop. The word yall looking is agitprop. It did nothing on its own but that doesn't matter because the point is to inspire/agitate people to potentially carries out action in real life.
