After a long day, I like coming home and playing video games while listening to funny leftist podcasts that don’t really take themselves too seriously. So basically the opposite of revleft radio, citations needed, cushvlogs, etc, as these are usually pretty serious and dense (with info) and require me to devote brain power.

I don’t really know that many podcasts so the only ones that I can really think of that go with what I’m talking about are like pod damn america and (sometimes) true anon. I think CTH and cumtown would also work but I’ve never really given them a chance because I’m not interested in listening to libs.

    Trashfuture is one of my favorite, consistently funny left pods. Focuses more on Br*tish politics, but it will delve into international politics as whole as well. More specifically it focuses on lampooning techbros, bullshit startups, and other insane products of late-stage capital, distancing itself somewhat from the boring rigors of party politics and the evil they get up to on the world stage.

      I mean I'll take your word for it but yeah I just perused some of their episode descriptions and I really don't know (or care lol) that much about UK politics so not sure how that'll affect my enjoyability. Definitely will give them a shot though

        British politics is infinitely more deranged in its own twisted way than, say, US politics. The fact that it also won't directly affect you lends itself well towards enjoyment as you are removed from its detrimental effects so you can point and laugh at it guilt-free.
