You're not really missing a lot if I can be completely honest. I would think their best material was from 2016 to 2019 or so before the Bernie campaign imploded.
If I might make a suggestion it's that you can go on youtube, on their youtube channel and they have select episodes uploaded there. You can turn on auto-transcribed captions on youtube and they'll probably be mostly right and its free. You can also use something like youtube-dl I believe to download the episodes with the subtitles (via an option in the command line) and then you can open up the subtitles and read them in something like notepad++ or convert them to another format like SRT (youtube-DL can do this for you as an option switch) and open that and read it. It'll have time-stamp info but is fairly readable.
For example this command run from the folder you have youtube-dl in
youtube-dl --write-sub --convert-subs srt --ffmpeg-location "<location of your downloaded ffmpeg executable if not located in the same folder as youtube-dl>" "<youtube url to video>"
Note: Do not include the < > symbols, they're just to show stuff that you don't copy paste exactly but have to figure out on your own and add the info to the command before running it.
If you don't want to install ffmpeg and are okay with youtube's subtitle format you can just run that command withou the --convert-subs srt --ffmpeg-location "" stuff and only include the youtube video url after --write-sub
You will as I said I think need to have ffmpeg to convert the subs to SRT files but ffmpeg is a free download and if you put it in the same folder as youtube-dl it will work without you needing to set the -ffmpeg-location flag or specify that location.
Aside from the official channel you can sometimes find uploads of other episodes (as the official channel is by no means a complete archive of every free episode).
Anyways once you finish with that you can find some good reading material at Marxists.org. You can get Lenin's State and Revolution, free of charge among a ton of other stuff, too much to list really.
WARNING: this will download over 100 auto-generated subtitle tracks if you just set it to ytdl-raw-options=write-auto-sub=, so remember to set the language(s) you want

How can I get mpv to use this command when it hooks youtube-dl, eg when I run
mpv youtube.com/video?I edited
~/.config/youtube-dl/configto just be--write-subbut mpv still doesn't see any auto-transcribed subs.i don't know if this works for close captions but i got this in my
~/.config/mpv/configspoiler
sub-auto=fuzzy # external subs don't have to match the file name exactly to autoloadslang=enm,en,engalang=ja,jp,jpn,en,engytdl-raw-options=sub-lang="en,eng,enUS,en-US",write-sub=Thanks! This helped me find the option to download the youtube auto-generated subtitles:
ytdl-raw-options=sub-lang="en,eng,enUS,en-US",write-auto-sub=WARNING: this will download over 100 auto-generated subtitle tracks if you just set it to
ytdl-raw-options=write-auto-sub=, so remember to set the language(s) you want
