I’m pretty open, and not really looking for anything specific here aside from the usual “no liberal bullshit” rule. I did listen to a bit of Chapo for a hot second in 2018 but I could be persuaded to go back if theyre good.

So to that end, what are your favorite episodes of your podcast of choice?

    Red Nation podcast. Indigenous discussion of past, present, and future struggles faced by indigenous communities with other topics thrown in like movie, TV, and book discussions. Real and honest indigenous leftist discussion. I first got turned onto it when host Nick Estes was on Rev Left Radio talking about the American Indian Movement.

    If you want some history (my big jam right now):

    • Guerilla History covers various topics of proletarian history and gives great reading suggestions. Lots of good topics about international struggles against global capitalism that are often overlooked.

    • Changing Tides has host Patrick Wyman tackling watershed periods in history through the eyes of people who lived it. He runs through late medieval/early modern Europe and then goes back to prehistory. His series on the Italian Wars was a good lead in for “Hell on Earth” that Matt and Chris from Chapo produced (another solid recommendation).

    • You Must Remember This is fun for movie fans as it dives into the hidden/forgotten side of Hollywood history, often with an emphasis on the female experience. Not leftist, at least explicitly so, but it really shows how the sausage is made in old movies. I really like the “Dead Blondes” series and the more recent “Erotic '80s” and “Erotic '90s” series that she’s doing now.

    • I’m currently relistening to Blowback to prep for Season 4. Each season covers the Iraq War, The Cuban Middle Crisis, The Korean War, and the new one that just started is about Afghanistan. Solid production, both chilling and entertaining, and interviews with primary sources are top notch.

    Besides that I listen to citations-needed and trueanon to make me question reality on a daily basis.

    Also Trillbillies just because I love those two idiots and I would listen to Tom Sexton read the phone book.
