I'm on episode 19 of 60 or so of "revolutions" podcast about the French revolution. I find it really interesting and the host is pretty ok too. I'll probably jump around in order of interest/lack of knowledge. Shoutout to whoever the goon was that recommended it in some cspam thread a couple weeks ago.

street fight i enjoy like I would a call in radio show (I used to love them and would gently caress around with Boston's FM talk station back when I worked third shift weekends). They call in shows are long and cover my entire commute round trip, so that's nice too.

hell of a way to die is on regular rotation for me, and citations needed is great so far though I've only started listening to it recently

I really recommend going in order through Revolutions, things tend to lead into each other. Like, the French revolution specifcally plays into the next...five(?) pretty heavily

at least don't skip Haiti, because it rules hard. there's a point towards the end of it where Mike starts editorializing about how the other revolutions cloaked themselves in flowery, liberal rhetoric about freedom and equality meanwhile the Haitians are goddamned slaves throwing off their shackles. actual liberation, none of this "boohoo my taxes" bullshit

Cocaine and Rhinestones
Good country music history podcast, currently in development on season 2. Guy is kind of smugly annoying sometimes but still very interesting material

Hit Parade
Pop music history, really incredible. Guy is not smugly annoying. Recommended first eps: Stevie Wonder (Everybody Say Yeah!), Britney Spears (Give Me a Sign [this one contains my favorite music factoid of all time]), Donna Summer (Queen of Disco)

The Siecle
History of 19th century France. It just started so hasn't gotten to the parts I'm most interested to hear about (Charles X being a total moron, Dreyfus) but still good so far

Unfortunately none of these people are mad on twitter, so y'all might not like them

I was wondering about the siecle since it came up in my feed.
Thanks for the recommendation :)

They examine Alex Jones episodes and debunk all of his bullshit, currently the episodes split between modern day and episodes from the immediate aftermath of Sandy Hook to see how much legally actionable poo poo Alex said (spoiler alert: so much legally actionable poo poo).

Honestly I would argue that they were radicalized back when the show started in 2006(!), but it wasn't really apparent until such radicalization became more mainstream. The podcast as a whole has aged tremendously well, if you want to get into the show there's a case to be made for just starting at episode 1 and going forward (if you can find those earliest eps).

Aside from stuff already mentioned, History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps has been going on since at least 2011, is hosted by a philosophy professor based in London and Munich. It started with Thales and the Pre-Socratics, goes through ancient, and classical history, heads to cover philosophy in the Islamic world, then jumps back to cover medieval western Europe and after that has just finished a run on Byzantine/Eastern European philosophy. So that's about 330 episodes and then there's the accompanying shows covering Indian and African philosophy, albeit in a lot less depth because I guess there's fewer sources in a language the host reads. He's also talked about wanting to get to Chinese eventually.

It's really in depth and if you've a passing interest it's worth a listen.

Tides of History is good history stuff too, covering medieval and early modern European history.

gave the behind the bastards epidodes about assad a go and laughed my rear end off at how wrong the hosts were. and also his vocal fry and stupid loving voice are hilarious too.

What did he get wrong specifically? Honestly asking. I know him bringing up tankies made some folks feel defensive.

BTB is easily the most accessible go-to primer on the evils of rampant capital and colonialism and their material effects I can think of. I don't really know if Robert Evans is a leftist but it's basically impossible for a normal person to listen to that show without radicalizing them to some extent. Show is good. Not as educational or eye-opening as others but it's good at making people mad and reminding you that our enemies are all literal monsters.

gh0stpinballa posted:

he does this other pod called behind the bastards and they just did a 2 parter on assad. his co host is a lib feminist who wants america to get deeper into syria. she supported the US bombing last year and altho she's supposed to be a syria expert she didn't know what the mukhabarat was until midway through part 1 lol

they both downplay the genocidal ideology of the "rebels", promote the MS paint journalism of bellingcat, and say obama "overthought" the situation whereas bush would have "at least gone in swinging" in 2011. they also say it's a shame iraq went badly because it scared obama away from invading syria. evans also claims the US provided minimal support to the "good" rebels, completely ignoring that altho it is true the US outsourced much of the arms and jihadi smuggling to regional allies, it's still one of the most expensive regime change efforts in CIA history by now.

i have no idea how this man can describe himself as an "anarcho leftist".

also i can't stand his smug voice and vocal fry.

I'll take your word for it. Though I don't believe at any time his co-host was described or presented as an expert on Syria, he's had her on several other unrelated eps and she's almost always dumb as a box of rocks. I think he chooses guests based on personal chemistry to bounce poo poo off of, not to seriously contribute to his presentation of a subject. I like Bob Evans though and while someone like you or I may not need to know why someone like George Bush Sr. was evil, there are lots of people who do and who are shocked by the depths of their wickedness.

I would also throw in Struggle Session because Leslie Lee is an A+ leftist and Jack Allison has a good BS detector but they talk about pop culture mostly so it's fun.

Goddamn Struggle Session sucks though. Love firing up an episode for a leftist critique of media only to get an hour of why things they like are cool and good while things they don't are vapid cultural dreck, completely arbitrarily.

Though I did appreciate their recent ep where they finally just own up to being contrarians , though with the caveat that you should never, ever call them that because they find it belittling. Remains the one podcast I've subbed, unsubbed, and subbed again the most times in succession.

They say multiple times in the same episode the thing you just said, as well as "we are contrarians", stated plainly. At least Jack did and it got a sort of begrudging acknowledgement from Lesley :shrug:

I like the guys, I wouldn't keep resubbing if I didn't, but they're absolutely contrarians and making a whole episode about how they're not only cemented that fact further. Frankly it effects the quality of their critique and it's keeping their show from reaching it's true potential.
