It's mostly fine, but occasionally they have unnecessary clips (as do so many podcasts)... also, Heather, no one cares about your goddamn family, wtf!

Reich.
Understanding and more depth, the dire situation we are in with wealth & Poverty was so important to me.
I am ever grateful to all that you have done and are doing.
I am so grateful you videotaped the last semester of your last class. It was amazing.
I enjoyed it so much. I may watch the semester again and can’t wait to see the film when it’s available on demand since I’m disabled and can’t go out to a movie theater

A thoughtful, policy-forward show that centers power, inequality, and democratic accountability, often framing current events through a social-justice lens. Episodes feature long-form discussions with senior public figures and activists, including prominent guests who bring perspectives on economics, civil rights, and political strategy. The tone tends to be pragmatic and explanatory, pairing historical context with recent developments to assess how power is exercised and how citizens can respond. A standout is the consistent emphasis on accountability for leaders and institutions, plus a willingness to critique both political parties when policy and justice are at stake.
