Know Your Enemy is one of the most thoughtful and intellectually rigorous podcasts around. The chemistry between Matt and Sam is exceptional—they bring out the best in each other, combining deep knowledge, curiosity, and humor. The show is a rare combination: firmly left-wing, deeply humanist, and allergic to both nihilism and tankie politics.
I always look forward to new episodes and always finish them feeling like I understand the world a bit better.
…the continuing destruction of America.
