Not who you responded to, but what’s your most radical rec (rad as in actual extremists speaking into a mic)? I’m tired of pods made by libs. I want to feel like a liberal listening to chapo for the first time.

I sadly dont know any really radical stuff, but Blowback is pretty up there.

There's also Eat The Rich where at least one of the hosts used to be houseless, which has made them madder than most https://archive.org/details/Ep-001-Waltons-Re-release.m4a they're sort of like if Behind The Bastards wasn't made by a fed.

Ghost stories for the end of the world is also relatively leftist for the most time, but it won't get you feeling like you're a lib sadly, and they have some libs on too. There's also not a lot of radicalism in it.

None of these are truly radical though, but it's the best I've got. There's also the Chapo series Hell of Presidents and Hell on Earth that are pretty leftist, though not radical.
Its not surprising though, most radical leftists are busy doing other stuff rather than producing podcasts. Or they're wanted by the state, so they can't really make them

Blowback is a far of mine, so our tastes definitely align to a degree.

Ghost stories is a guilty pleasure, they get far too woo woo for me to take them seriously. Comrades nonetheless.

eat the rich is new to me, I’ll def check em out. Thanks for the rec!

Since you didn’t say trillbillies, if you aren’t onto them yet they rule. Definitely walking the edge of legal speech when they get going.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention the Trillbillies! They're good, but I'm just not a big fan of the format, it gets too talky at times. All the podcasts do, but for some reason the Trillbillies are just too much to me. I think it feels like there's way too many inside jokes and interests that it just becomes too dense for me as an outsider

Revolutionary Left Radio?

I really need to listen to more of that. I checked out the Kim Stanley Robinson interview and it was great.

I think they're in the same feed, but Guerilla History is a good one if you like RevLeft and want a history focused show cohosted by Breht.

My listen on release pods are QAA. Chapo and Some Even More News, second string are usually history stuff like the Dollop and Respect the Dead, if you got anything similar to Blowback I'd be real interested.

anything similar to Blowback

Kind of a leap but: the Anti Empire Project with Justin Podur has a few recurring history series covering a world civilizations overview, colonization and the scramble for Africa, and the politics in Europe in the lead up to WW1 iirc. The hosts are cool and just some big old nerd ass academics (compliment). It's less well produced than blowback for sure, but they do a lot of research for each episode usually and can get really in depth on a topic.

Will give it a spin for sure. rat-salute
