Great content. Great guests. Excellent hosting! Love this show. I never stop learning from you. Thank you!
If you're not listening to Novara Media's output, do you even know what's going on in the world beyond the surface level? Literally the best journalism coming out of the UK today. I'm especially loving Do Your Own Research at the moment. Richard Hames is amazing and that episode with Marek Poliks nearly broke my brain (in the best possible way).
The guests are always very interesting intellectuals and activists. The hosts have nuanced takes and are nice to listen to. Would recommend this podcast for everyone that’s interested in Politics!

A standout trait is the breadth of guests—from Marxist theorists to political organizers and policy researchers—offering practical insights for listeners who want to understand power structures and alternative futures.
