Reviews
Wonderful left interviews with a focus on US politics but ranging into leftist politics around the world. Insightful and informed interviews.
Podcast Addict54 years agoM J G- superb political interviews with excellent host
Doug Henwood must be a well-trained radio host- his shows are fascinating, easy to listen to but very insightful. Usually two interviews per 1 hour episode, sometimes a 1-interview special, with a musical break halfway through. I wish more podcasts would adopt this approach- it makes it much easier to listen in bursts. Henwood has a great voice, picks great music for the breaks and asks intelligent questions.

United Kingdom5 years ago - Absolute best show for leftists who appreciate more signal and less noise
Doug is one of the very few people on the left we have who is serious and professional. Hard to believe you could ever listen to a single episode and not have gained some important insight from diverse, studious leftists' perspectives on our world.

United States7 years ago - Provide Topics?
I'm unsubscribing, because the episode description provides no clue as to topics covered. I wish I had the time to download and listen to every episode, but I don't. I think I'm probably not alone. Bad practice of KPFA generally.
