I asked this already in the megathread but maybe I will get some more answers here.
Anyone got recommendations for good podcasts? Gaming/History/Politics/Nerdshit, etc. I’m waiting for my new glasses, and my current ones are slowly killing me. So I would like to do stuff that I can do without using my eyes.
I dont really do podcasts usually so this is new territory for me.
EDIT: AGAIN Thanks for all the recommendations so far. Lots of cool stuff to sink my teeth into.
Many good recommendations here already. I want to add Death Panel for covid news, Decolonized Buffalo podcast for making sure you don’t turn into a fucking patsoc, Struggle Session for funny bits about blockbusters (most episodes are paywalled tho), The East is a Podcast to help destroy your orientalism, I Don’t Even Own A Televison (left-adjacent bad books podcast, sadly defunct but has many hilarious episodes), Historic.ly for decolonizing your mind, It’s Not Just In Your Head for psychology (many recent episodes have been pretty lib tho), Geopolitical Economy Report for the economics of imperialism, Cadre Network for interviews with global south comrades, Auxiliary Statements for reading some of the lesser-read theoretical texts (like the origin of capitalism), Swampside Chats is also good for this (their Wilhelm Reich episode was basically “this guy is a crank but oddly right about everything”). Byzantium and Friends and We’re Not So Different are left but sadly not Marxist history podcasts. Gerald Horne’s youtube channel also has some of the best geopolitical analysis I’ve ever seen.

I’ll check that out. I know this may be anathema here but the recent episode they did with Matt Christman I found pretty disappointing. IIRC they basically argued that capitalism began with the Thirty Years’ War, a claim which was completely new to me, let’s just say.
