  • 10 years and still going strong

    The OG left wing podcast. Been listening since 2016 and it has been instrumental in my political development, a much needed comfort to know there are like minded people in this country and that we aren’t completely crazy. I wasn’t sure how the show would be without Matt Christman (my favorite, had to leave due to health issues) but Will and Felix have been doing better than ever. Thanks for 10 years, and hoping for 10 more.

  • What is this

    Was it better ten years ago? I agree with their politics but half the episode is tangents and extended analogies that don’t land.

    i used to absolutely love this podcast, it really was so meaningful to me. but it’s now just absolute drivel, truly unlistenable. will and felix have lost the plot and just seem to glance at their twitter feeds to prep for an ep…like I recognize that’s maybe always been the case but jfc, figure it out guys, we’re not asking for much lol. just like literally any crumb of what you used to give. or take this old dog out back and let entirely new people host the show or something, xxl freshman styl... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS: Nithya for LA Mayor
Q: Why should Angelenos choose you over New York's mayor or other candidates?
She argues LA offers unique opportunities for newcomers, a sense of possibility, and a more affordable, diverse, and welcoming environment that stands out compared to New York.
BONUS: Nithya for LA Mayor
Q: How would you handle immigration enforcement and the city's relationship with ICE?
She would strengthen Sanctuary City policies, audit data sharing with ICE, ensure LAPD cooperation is minimized, and appoint a police chief who shares immigrant-protection values.
BONUS: Nithya for LA Mayor
Q: What is your plan to address rent affordability and housing supply in Los Angeles?
Her plan centers on expanding density, rezoning, building more mixed-income housing, protecting existing rent-stabilized units, and rolling back rent increases while mitigating landlord practices that drive up costs.
BONUS: Nithya for LA Mayor
Q: How does your homelessness policy differ from your opponents' approaches?
Raman argues for a citywide, bold system that moves people indoors and builds out shelter and housing, backed by aggressive utilization of housing and services funded by taxpayer contributions, rather than enforcement-focused strategies that push people around.
BONUS: Nithya for LA Mayor
Q: What is the current state of the mayoral race and your position relative to the other top candidates?
The race is essentially a three-way contest with Raman, Karen Bass, and Spencer Pratt, where Raman positions herself as the progressive challenger focusing on working-class needs and addressing the affordability crisis.
