Left - solidly and differently and from all over the place. The best and most savage minds you'll ever hear on a podcast.
as a whole, ideologically incoherent - deeply transphobic, also very pro-Palestine
Thank you for your excellent analysis and guests and thank you for keeping it commercial/corporate-free. Loved the Miriam Grossman conversation especially.
The host has a really cringy style of delivery -she continually turns the discussion of an interesting subject into a personal beef which lessens the impact of the info. She might be good at research and production but she should get someone else to host because she effectively makes the show an unpleasant listening experience on every level.
The host has the slurpiest, spittiest voice ever, like girl drink some water first
