Starting from their politicization in opposition to the Iraq war & continuing through their total dissatisfaction with the American Left, the two hosts chart out a wonderful & powerful analysis of modern world, geopolitical events that mixes realism, leftism, and other modern day analysis. They play all the bangers, Lenin, Perry Anderson, John Mearsheimer, and others! Definitely worth listening to their stuff & supporting on Patreon
Definitely on the shortlist of podcasts I recommend… and I’ve explored far too many podcasts. I’m always excited to see new episodes in my feed. Tom and Mario are awesome!
Listening to this podcast feels like being in grad school and discussing international relations with your smart friends. Just good vibes and interesting conversations.
Nice clear introduction to realism. I especially like Layne’s emphasis on ideology and Mario’s relating that to the structure of the world system.
Tom and Mario do the impossible — make my small squirrel brain think critically about complex global issues while still being easily digestible. Would recommend to anyone. Keep up the good work!
