Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 548 ratings
  • On-point but hard to listen to

    I think that, of all the political commentators that I follow, Tony most aligns with my own viewpoints,. His episodes are on the exact topics that interest me (catholic socialism, national-internationalism, christopher lasch, etc.), but it has been increasingly difficult to listen to this show because of how insanely long the episodes are. I am a patron because I believe in his work but find it a chore to get through up to 6 hours of content in one drop between the public and backroom episodes. ... more

  • Navel Gazing Left

    This podcast is constantly dividing the left against itself. We need more cheerleaders and fewer annoy academics applying ideological litmus tests.

  • Finally

    Vivek Chibber, in a few sentences, exposed the feeble and faulty understanding of political economic reality of the host, who is better at LARPing as a lefty than being one.

    I’ll give it another listen if Gabriel Rockhill is invited.

  • Really good!

    Really enjoyable discussion and good guests. Good balance of deep dives on thinkers, and current events, etc. Love that the host has a thoughtful tone and lets his guests speak without interruption, while also adding his own thoughts that enrich the episodes. As a Canadian I would love more canadian content! I loved your episode about Canadian healthcare!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The AI Race, Iran War Update, & US-Canada Fallout (Ft. Benjamin Studebaker)
Q: What do you think of the Houthis situation, given reports they were using Claude to develop weapons and carry out attacks?
Studebaker says military use of large language models indicates the technology works for some practical purposes, though that does not establish consciousness or superintelligence. He rejects both claims that the technology is useless and claims that its capabilities prove a coming singularity.
The AI Race, Iran War Update, & US-Canada Fallout (Ft. Benjamin Studebaker)
Q: What's your take on the US-Canada trade war situation and Mark Carney's moves?
Studebaker says Canada's response appears successful partly because the US administration could not sustain its tariff policy after the Supreme Court struck it down. Carney has pursued new trade relationships, but the scale of the economic threat was limited by American institutional divisions.
The Post-Left Frontier (Ft. Theory Underground)
Q: Dave, what are some of your essays in Post-Left Theory that people should read?
McKerracher recommends “Lefter Than Thou,” which questions the assumption that being leftist defines what is good, as well as essays explaining why he is not a Marxist and not an anarchist.
The Post-Left Frontier (Ft. Theory Underground)
Q: Where do you want to start with this in terms of the first thing that you think people should know about what we're doing?
McKerracher starts with CanonFest and explains its intimate, retreat-like format, which combines presentations, conversations, and the trading card game with a family-friendly atmosphere.
Did The Left Get COVID Wrong? (Ft. Christian Parenti)
Q: How was the left wrong during Covid and why?
The guest argues the left supported lockdowns, censorship, and vaccine mandates despite evidence that the disease's severity varied and that long-term harms (especially to education and civil liberties) were not adequately weighed.
