Great content, but Ben…stop mumbling in the corner when your cohosts and guests are blowing out my ear drums.
Ad on. This 100% my kind of “left”. Great recent episode with Vivek Chibber.
Apple Podcasts5amerigovonhistoryUnited Statesa year ago - Rhetoric for the Rest of Us

Plus the left is so off on Covid. So sorry.
