I want more historical content from a clearly correct (read: Leftist) point of view. What else can I sink my teeth into? Are there theory podcasts as well? I feel like I'm learning a ton.

    Ok I'm gonna go against your wishes for explicitly leftist content and recommend Dan Carlin's Hardcore History episode titled "American Peril". It's like the perfect prequel to Blowback S2. It covers Cuba's war for independence against Spain that was ultimately co-opted by the US. He ends it at the end of the Spanish-American War though, so he doesn't get into how Cuba was ultimately turned into a de facto US colony.

    Dan's not a leftist but he has a pretty solid anti-imperialist streak in him. He is very clear in this podcast: the US coveted Cuba and used the pretext of "liberating" them from Spain as a way to get the island for themselves.

        eh... his takes on BLM were pretty reactionary to the point of saying he was scared seeing black people march in white suburbs and the history cast frequently does shit like claim "hard times create hard men" and "Greeks conquered Persia because the Greeks were 'ard and the Persians were decadent and soft"
