- Volume equality
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.

I positively love this podcast. Politics is often about arguments and there’s no one else on the left actually teaching people how to argue. Also Ben is lovable to the point of adorability. ;)

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

Apple Podcasts2Cahill4225United States2 years ago - Pretty good philosophy/politics from a socialist POV
Only gripes I have are:
- audio quality — sometimes host’s mic/voice sounds garbled
- host can be long-winded or take a while to get to the point
