SPS gotta be one of my favorite genders fr 🙏✅
As a long-time listener who finally got an iPhone I can finally leave the review I’ve always wanted to. I listened to all the leftist podcasts around the time of the Bernie campaigns and eventually came to realize I was being passively miseducated and taking on a lot of poorly considered frameworks for thinking. SPS (and Platypus generally) has proven to be the antidote! I hope other listeners take this podcast as a gateway to deeper thinking and engagement with the (dead) left.
This seemingly little-known podcast offers a fresh perspective on recent events and contemporary left history. What the monthly output lacks in prolificness, the show makes up for in quality and incisiveness. Always eager for the next episode, to hear a truly unique take on things that never holds back! Keep up the good work.
“We can be the most conscious symptoms”. Great analysis of the Left in decline — “the commentary on the commentary on the Left”—politics and some cultural symptoms. Highly recommend.
I’ve been listening to SPS for almost two years now and have always been consistently impressed by the quality of this podcast. The themes of the discussions are incredibly interesting and shed light on the conditions of the Left today. Indeed, a (high-quality, sober minded) commentary on the commentary on the Left.
