  • Clear and deeply insightful, restores faith in humanity

    I can’t rate this podcast highly enough. Such a range of expertise, and refreshingly deep analysis, all delivered in a way that won’t bore you to death, or depress you into acquiescence. Of particular note — somehow it feels like there is enough time given to really get into the weeds of issues, but it still feels spirited and accessible. I love this show, and I have so much respect and admiration for Roqayah and Kumars, and all their expert guests. Thank you for all you do 🙏🏻

  • One of the first podcasts I started listening to around 2014. Many have fallen by the wayside since then; this is not one of them.

    Roqayah and Kumars have a wonderful chemistry and provide your ears with a balanced diet of snark, passion, and well-researched political commentary.

    I would consider this show to be normie-adjacent (well, maybe normie-adjacent-adjacent) so it is a good one for converting your friends into a farther left version of themselves. Very solid podcast!
