'What's Left?' is a progressive political podcast for the generation tasked with returning order to political chaos.

With 'Left/Right' no longer a clear distinction for our politics, what does it really mean to be on the political 'left'? And given the enormous change we're living through, what is left of our values, institutions and political systems?

  • The Franchise Party

    I listened to this after Charlie Kirk’s death, after George’s interview and wondered how can we help?

    I think the way ordinary people can help change this culture is through visualising what it is they want to represent see and restore.

    A new political party could be called The Franchise.

    What’s missing that’s what’s been lost in the last forty years because we’ve run the country as an unaccountable supply chain rather than a country: hence so many harms: Infected blood, Stephen Lawrence, pr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Class Consciousness Overcome the Culture Wars? - Ash Sarkar
Q: How can the left build a durable political coalition in a fragmented economy?
The guests emphasize elevating real, locally rooted organizing, building inclusive institutions with a life beyond individuals, and aligning policies around universal services like childcare and housing to unite diverse working-class groups.
Can Class Consciousness Overcome the Culture Wars? - Ash Sarkar
Q: What does progressives' argument about immigration look like beyond a policy stance?
Ash Sarkar suggests that progressives should address immigration behind the scenes with a broader economic narrative, showing how policy choices affect living standards and social cohesion, rather than treating immigration as the sole political issue.
Has YouTube Broken Gen-Z? - Josh Pieters
Q: What motivated your shift from pranks to documentary-style storytelling?
It came from realizing that the pranks were draining and often harmful, and that meaningful conversations with real people could be more impactful and sustainable in the long run, especially as I aged and sought deeper purpose.
Billionaires Are Stealing Your Attention - Biden Advisor, Tim Wu
Q: Can you explain the ancient history of the platform, and what we mean when we talk about platform economics?
Tim Wu discusses that every society has central places where commerce and speech take place, such as the Agora in ancient Greece and Main Street today. He explains how current platforms like Amazon or Facebook differ fundamentally by being profit-seeking and manipulative in nature.
The Sick Narcissism of Royal Elites - Prince Andrew's Biographer, Andrew Lownie
Q: Is that the type of thing that you would expect?
Well, I think he should be investigated. I think he should be charged.
