I know there's a Chapo thread but I've noticed the need for a general leftwing podcast thread for C-SPAM to share and plug the latest and greatest in audible agitprop. I've done my best to get a solid range of different lefty podcasts, but please feel free to post others I've left out (Pod Save America is not welcome, you fukken shitlib!!!!) and I'll try to add them to the OP. I've tried to get a solid range of options here for people looking to fill their smooth brains with sharp words about the violence economy of America. Trying for a good mix between comedy, real politics, and daily living - hopefully! Street Fight Radio - https://soundcloud.com/streetfightwcrs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQM7L-HUXBQ Street Fight Radio is where Chapo got their start, and is the number one anarcho-comedy podcast. Hilarious discussions on the nature of labor, how easily sensitive conservatives are, and how the banks are all fuckers. It's probably the most approachable and relatable left-wing show out there. Great guys with a fantastic patreon: https://www.patreon.com/streetfightradio Citations Needed - https://soundcloud.com/citationsneeded Citations Needed is an unapologetically leftwing breakdown of the bullshit tactics of the corporate media. Covering a range of topics from New Atheism and foreign policy, Citations Needed challenges how the news stokes the very flames of racism and injustice that infest the American discourse. Reel Politick - https://soundcloud.com/reelpolitikpodcast Reel Politik is *clears throat* Lawd above! Reel Politik is like a podcast abaaaht british politics from da left. While i' 'an be 'ard ter get in'er due ter just 'a incredibly british i' is like, it's certainly da 'est podcast breakin' down da curren' struggle ov da absolute boy's fight ter take blighty 'ack from da brink ov theresa may's 'ard brexi' economic collapse., innit. Tis wicked legend, mate Radio War Nerd - https://www.patreon.com/radiowarnerd/posts There's already a thread for this in C-SPAM, it's The War Nerd of Exiled fame doing his thing and I'm told it's fantastic Moderate Rebels Radio - https://soundcloud.com/moderaterebelsradio Ben Norton and Max Blumenthal break down the evils of American foreign policy from an explicitly left-wing perspective. From Syria to North Korea, they cover the current reality of what is happening on the parts of the world we're bombing, and how the media does their best to help Trump drum up support for another war. Their current interview series with anti-war activists in South Korea is a must listen, as it reveals a great deal of how the American military is building up its forces near the border with North Korea. Verso Books - https://soundcloud.com/versobooks Verso Books is a radical publishing company that occasionally runs interviews with their published or soon to be published authors. Their recent episode about the End of Policing is fantastic in breaking down police as the boots of gentrification in New York. Economic Update with Richard D. Wolff - https://economicupdate.podbean.com/ Economic Update is a serious one-man show that can feel a little NPR-y, but is a genuinely left wing, critical, and enlightened look at the injustice of the American comedy. As he who makes the gold makes the rules, Economic Update will give you a better understanding of the machinations of capitalism that are destroying our foundations in order to enrich the few at the very top. So what else am I missing? What are the great Leftcasts that your fellow goons could be missing out on? Be sure to post if you know of any great episodes we're missing out on.

I’m partial to Discourse Collective for theory. District Sentinel Radio is a good news digest. Dead Pundits Society and This is Hell are also good.

Delete Your Account is pretty good, they've had some excellent interviews. They skew more serious, but are enjoyable. What a Hell of a Way to Die is a lefty military focused podcast, I enjoy it despite not coming from a military background. We Don't Talk About The Weather is a British current events podcast that's pleasant enough, I know just enough about British politics to generally follow it. Left Coast (specifically https://twitter.com/LeftPod) is a good all round podcast. Seconding the Discourse Collective love.

Michael and Us Will Sloan and Luke Savage, two guys who were heavily influenced by the works of Michael Moore as nascently politically-aware youths, hold a retrospective on his oeuvre to find out what still holds up and what's painfully embarrassing. Each episode is one film; after they run out of movies the show generalizes to a lot of other political film like Religuous or V for Vendetta.

Matt Taibbi's pod doesn't belong in this thread as he's a rapist. As for RWN, just pretend that it's John Dolan's pod and don't give Mark Ames your money if at all possible

shouldn't that be the other way around? Ames' claims in that exiled book were far worse than Taibbi's

deadgoon posted:im listening to the tarfu report and im supposed to feel bad for some bankers because they're "the good ones" and also chinese? That one is perhaps not the best episode to start. That one is a sort of follow up from the previous one. On the previous one, they talked to David Dayen, who wrote this: https://www.thenation.com/article/how-americas-biggest-bank-paid-its-fine-for-the-2008-mortgage-crisis-with-phony-mortgages/ On the TARFU report he goes into a lot more detail. The TLDR version is that the punishment the Obama administration settled on for the banks involved in the 08 crisis included financial relief for affected homeowners. And then what the banks like JP Morgan did was to first sell some of the mortgages they still owned, and then send letters forgiving the debt to the homeowners. In other words, the banks used fraud to pay the fines for their previous fraud, in the process screwing homeowners and/or the new owners of the debt. The Obama administration and people at the NY DA's office were aware of this, but decided to do nothing because if they did it would hurt the soundbite that had recovered X amount of money from the banks. So that one may seem just like "banks=good," but it makes more sense as a follow up to the previous one. Two sides of the same coin: they did nothing against JP Morgan because it would make them look weak on financial crimes, and they threw the book at the small community bank because it would make them look tough on financial crimes.

Anybody thinking about checking out the Radio War Nerd podcast should listen to the Sci-Fi & Fascism episode with David Forbes. https://www.patreon.com/posts/rwn-ep-64-repost-12256665 I may go through their backlog and make a running list of all their free episodes sometime.
