I like the cushvlogs, don't agree with a lot of Matt's reads on things, but think there's definitely something worthwhile to be gleaned from thinking about our political behavior in terms of trying to fill a void of meaning or spiritual fulfillment left by living an incredibly alienated, atomized life while conditions worsen around you.
Man is not a damn prophet who will lead us all by the hand into getting shit done or singlehandedly synthesizing faith and communism though. I think most people recognize that.
Are there any particular episodes that are quite good, required listening?
He's had a few solo Chapo that I quite liked, like his ones on Upton Sinclair, The Weather Underground and the 18th Brumaire. Am I missing any good Matt analysis by skipping the Cushvlogs?

I'd probably just pick a recent one, honestly. The bits that I found interesting are all kind of strewn here and there.
