This show takes on the most important questions in a rapidly changing world from a solidly anti-imperialist stance with so many excellent guests. Their very well-produced content manages to be both approachable for anyone and intellectually challenging. I would highly recommend this show to anyone left in the dark by our corporate media.
My only recommendations for the hosts would be to unlock two recent Patreon episodes: The Long Transition with Torkil Lauesen and Atlantic Slavery and the Pl... more
Upstream is my go-to podcast. I always look forward to new episodes and learn something new every time. It has changed the way I view the world
I am grateful for this podcast..it has helped me make sense of the world today. Thank you
This show has literally changed my life. I’ve been a loving and empathetic “left-leaning” person all of my life but was largely ignorant to the deep truths of Marxism and Socialist theory. Robert, Della, and their incredible guests have made this learning journey fun and engaging and have awoken a desire in me to better educate myself and those around me, as well as participating instead of just reacting to the collapse. I’m forever grateful and highly recommend their pod!
The topics, the questions, the guests... everything the show brings to the table is phenomenal. Each episode is comprehensive yet accessible! Probably the best leftist pod out there for trying to accomplish their goal of making people unlearn and rethink the world around them.
