    Honestly, there aren't many good ML podcasts, I feel, or even leftist ones...

    what criteria do you use to define "good"?

      One that doesn't really retread old ground or talk about the same stuff the other ones are talking about.

      Also, one that isn't just back-slapping their guests and never questioning them. Or simply agreeing with other leftists. Ones that promote debate and new ideas.

      Among other things, of course.

      I don't like the guests on the Deprogram and Rev Left Radio has gone downhill, as a Russian friend told me, so I steer clear from the "popular" or "top" ones nowadays.

        What do you mean by this? Why would a 'Russian friend' tell you about rev left instead of you just listening to it? Are you just seething because Brett has the correct anti-imperialist line?

          Yes, everyone who has a remotely different opinion from you is mad and seething regardless of how they’re presenting said opinion.

            He’s the one trying to shit on Rev Left Radio because of a “remotely different opinion” than him and his “Russian friend”. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

            Knowing Pluto he’s one step away from calling Brett a Nazbol for critically supporting Russia. If he’s going to throw shade at principled anti-imperialists, it’s going to be reflected back at him.
