Taken together, the seasons of this podcast form an impressively comprehensive and cohesive, internally consistent analysis of the problems and solutions of our society.
I end up reading a lot from listening to this podcast. Everything we learn is backed up by documentary research, so I end up buying books and doing inter library loans to go deeper or more locally on the topics. It’s just so good to have a seriously researched approach to big, important topics like racism, masculinity, clima... more
Just wow! This series on capitalism was incredibly informative, moving, wrenching and hopeful. They’ve offered answers to many of our current issues in society. If I had one magic word to use once in my life, I would use to encourage everyone to listen to this series.
The first ~half is great and overall very informative about capitalism, its history, and even its downsides. That should have been enough to accomplish what they set out to do in the start of the series, which was to lay out “how we got here” and then suggest some ways to move forward… but instead, they spent the second half of the series airing what amounts to vignettes of people’s experience with capitalism around the world. Listen to the first 4-5 episodes and then stop.
Very well researched and informative — highly recommend!
I can’t say enough about this podcast. It’s thorough, asks the hard questions, and is presented by the wonderful hosts John Biewen and Chenjerai Kumanyika. The interviews and facts are compelling, and I’ve learned so much that I’ve even bought books they referenced to continue my learning journey. The storytelling is engaging and thought-provoking, making complex topics accessible and relevant. I hope they continue to produce more seasons.
