I listen to podcasts during cardio workouts, lifts, and mindless droning at work. Finished every episode of "This is Revolution" from Zero Books and there is a lot of great discussion. However, I realized that I don't have many any other black leftist podcasts. I am a black dude and I am trying to get more black thought so I can convince my family members and peers that leftist stuff isnt "a white people thing". I listen "Black Agenda Report" (which sometimes has terrible audio mixing which can be annoying) and tried "Champagne Sharks" and "Drop Squad" but that wasn't my jam (a little too Twitter-centric for me a person not on and not interested in Twitter discourse/politics).

Do you have any suggestions?

    Building Our Power - I've only recently listened to just the linked episode, but they sound pretty good to me

    Radio Free New Afrika - This is Black Red Guard's podcast and it's probably, uh, not gonna be for everyone, given his contrarian ultra tendencies (defends gonzalo), but he does have some interesting insights if you can ignore when he gets on his bullshit.

      That doesn't bother me, I try to not let people's bullshit get in the way of their point so long as that bullshit isn't too actively harmful or counter the point they are making. In general i try to assume people are speaking in good faith. It's hard to articulate properly but I assume most lefties want the same general better world for everyone, even when they are on some dumb shit.
