Delete Your Account is a new podcast hosted by journalist Roqayah Chamseddine and her plucky sidekick Kumars Salehi. Every week they will talk about important stories from the worlds of politics and pop culture, both on and off-line, in a way that will never bore you. They're radical leftists, but not that kind. The other kind. The fun kind.

  • 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!
