seriously, incredible guests from across the left, and chuck is the best interviewer out there, insightful and probing questions that engage deeply with the work. the show has a fun, irreverent, only slightly jaded diy vibe i very much enjoy, and it’s completely listener supported, so no ads ever!
It seems like a lot of episodes from 2020/21 that i saved for listening to later has vanished. can someone let me know if they’ll be added back or if they’ve been stored/saved somewhere else. please let me know.
