  • All of it’s bad

    I couldn’t give this podcast a lower review if I tried. Bad host, bad guests, bad ideas, bad interviewing, bad use of time to listen to this trite tripe. When you’ve shown the world that you are willing to smirk and roll your eyes at the relatives of rape victims I should have known better than to venture down this bad road. #badpodcast

  • Fabulous show

    This show is the intelligent respite from the daily drone. Briahna Joy Gray is brilliant. In show 611, she exposes the fundamental tragic flaws of the Dem Party, exactly why Harris lost, and what it means. Listening to Briahna and to 611 WILL make anyone listening, smarter. Keep going Briahna. We need your voice!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Promo: Episode 618 - Zionism is Racism w/ Ashok Kumar
Q: And as I understand it, correct me if I'm wrong, the idea was that now there was a more popular labor leader that was sucking away some of the shine from the green success.
Kumar explains that the Greens gained support as Labour weakened, then lost some ground after Andy Burnham became a more appealing Labour figure. He says the Greens later stabilized at 11%, despite sustained criticism and Labour's limited policy response on Gaza.
Episode 619 - Democratic Capitalists of America (w/ David Harvey)
Q: What would you say to someone who says markets are good, and under socialism you wouldn't have nice flatware or as much diversity?
Harvey says markets and exchange are not unique to capitalism and can flourish under socialism. The key question is whether production is organized around profit or social need.
Episode 619 - Democratic Capitalists of America (w/ David Harvey)
Q: What do you make of how Abdul El-Sayed is framing capitalism, and the pivot to define its worst excesses as corporatism?
Harvey says competition tends to lead to monopoly, which remains a form of capitalism. He argues that profit seeking and growth, rather than monopoly alone, are central to the system and its consequences.
Episode 617 - The Case for Anti-Fascist Economics (w/ Isabella Weber)
Q: Are there economic interventions you would consider useful and authentic, and what would you hope to see offered to voters?
Weber proposes a two-pronged program: immediate measures to stabilize livelihoods, including rent freezes, food price stabilization, and energy price limits, alongside public housing, renewable investment, antitrust, wealth and inheritance taxes, and a commitment to full employment.
Episode 617 - The Case for Anti-Fascist Economics (w/ Isabella Weber)
Q: What do you make of the popularity of the affordability framing, and are politicians going far enough to curb the economic crises that have led to fascism historically?
Weber says affordability has become politically prominent, but warns that politicians may use it to repackage austerity or deregulation. She argues that essentials need public-interest management and policies that address corporate power and economic insecurity.
