  • La entrevista con Alina, de la 4ta transformación y el feminismo

    El anfitrión del programa no parece tener un manejo fluido del español y hace una entrevista muy pobre. La invitada habla de lo que sea, no hay interacción.

Hasta cuántas semanas es legal el aborto? Es correcto que ha habido avances en derechos reproductivos en México, pero falta muchísimo por hacer. En general esta entrevista ... more

  • Excellent Socialist Education

    I’ve been really enjoying the format and content. Well done by DSA. The episodes are on the short side (15-20 minutes) which is fine by me since so many left podcasts are 90 minutes or more.
