I especially enjoy the emergency pods and deep dives such as the Adam Curtis episode. But Jem, surely you can get a better logo?
I’m a fan of all Jeremy Gilbert’s podcasts, but this one is my favourite. I don’t know anywhere else where you can get everything from abstract philosophy to concrete election analysis and psephology - and sometimes in the same podcast. This podcast performs an important public service, bringing serious social theory and analysis outside of the academy and to everyone for free.
These types of conversations are essential right now. This podcast is informative, interesting and always food for thought. Thank you.

A rigorous, idea-forward show that blends seminar-style discussions of radical theory with contemporary political and cultural analysis. Across episodes, hosts and guests explore left politics, affect theory, Spinoza, Marx, feminism, and the role of media, culture, and institutions in shaping political possibility. Noteworthy is the blend of long-form, lecture-style analysis with accessible dialogue and a willingness to critique mainstream narratives, making complex theories approachable for engaged listeners who want both depth and applicability to current events.
