- Analyzing Conjuncture at its Best
Hands down my favorite podcast and the single best political education resource I’ve encountered, I learn more from Dan Denvir and his exceptional guests with every episode. Cannot recommend highly enough to serious organizers looking to understand the present in order to develop winning strategies to change the world

This has been an incredibly helpful resource to learn more deeply from other people of conscience organizing for a better world. Equally important: always a deeply enjoyable listen to share with your loved ones. My husband and I always leave buzzing with more to talk about.

Been a listener for some time now and I can’t believe the length this show goes to soft paddle imperial propaganda.

Apple Podcasts3CrystalashUnited States5 months ago - Disappointed in new Venezuela coverage
I usually like The Dig, and liked the episode on Vz from a few years ago, but the new ep is very disappointing. Constantly referencing stolen elections and authoritarianism with no pushback and no nuance. Especially given recent events it is really disappointing to see how anti-Maduro and anti-PSUV this episode was. I hope we can get an ep in the future that takes a more balanced approach to this
