I'm pretty open, and not really looking for anything specific here aside from the usual "no liberal bullshit" rule. I did listen to a bit of Chapo for a hot second in 2018 but I could be persuaded to go back if theyre good.
So to that end, what are your favorite episodes of your podcast of choice?
I really like the podcast Actually Existing Socialism and I think it doesn't get nearly the attention that it deserves.
They have guests on who are generally academics talking about historical and present day socialism in their field of specialisation, so you get a good rundown of the person's take which is often like a summary of books with editorial commentary alongside it.
If you want to get excited to read books about socialism but you need a lead-in to spark your interest or if you don't have the time or inclination to read books then this is the podcast for you.
They're on YouTube and most of the episodes are on their channel if you want to dip your toe.
here's one where their guest is the author of http://redsails.org/concessions
