Not a podcast but, for anyone who liked countdown to armageddon or is interested in ww1 history, I can't recommend They Shall Not Grow Old enough Catched it at a film festival today and it was very powerful stuff, expertly made

Are there any especially good lefty political podcasts that will be good to follow during the primaries? Something like Chapo or Cum Town but more info/less goofy chattiness. I guess I’m looking for something like Pod Save America but less centrist.

So 538's not doing it for you? I can see how they don't fit your "not so centrist" criterion but they're going to be a hard act to top.

Well I’m a little retarded and completely forgot about it, to be honest. Also haven’t noticed any recommendations about it in a while so I guess it’s time to give it another shot, thanks.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but the Bag Man podcast by Rachel Maddow is loving fascinating and a really interesting show. It's about the investigation of Spiro Agnew and it's amazing the similarities to modern day politics.

Hi guys, I'm working on a biography podcast and am after some feedback. I picked a depression era bank robber for a pilot ep. I have pms so if you don't feel like replying here feel free to do so privately. Any criticism welcome. https://soundcloud.com/user-69161280/william-sutton-casual-mark-3-01

The Appeal podcast is an excellent leftist podcast about police/criminal justice reform but I doubt it'll cover the primaries at all.

I'm going to post a plug for The Common Descent Podcast. I heard it thanks to a quick mention in The Wild Episode, and honestly I'm quite liking it. It's a evolutionary history podcast, looking at the evolutional of animals for the most part. It's more paleontological than I'd like but it's still pretty interesting all told.

Seriously, I have been subscribed to each of these at some point, and later unsubscribed. Other examples? * Comedians talk in long solipsistic detail about the darkness and personal trauma behind their fart jokes * Fans explain in excruciating detail about why a popular movie is "bad". Extra points if they veer into alt-right talking points * "Bad movie" podcast in which hosts repeatedly assert that a merely mediocre film is "absolutely insane"

I guess I’m looking for something like Pod Save America but less centrist. I absolutely recommend Inward Empire. There’s only a few episodes, but it’s a very high quality and lengthy telling of US labor history in the 19th century. The series on the history of the Pinkertons is probably my favorite, with the whole chronicle beginning with the history of the founder himself as an exiled Scottish labor advocate, to detective to the right band of capital. There’s also some hardcore history esque scenes of their most repressive/incompetent strike breaking actions, it’s actually fairly riveting. It’s a left podcast that’s left while being objective and professional, not snarky or editorializing.

Inward Empire is the best argument for socialist politics I've ever heard; I didn't have many leftist political opinions when I started with Inward Empire but taking a closer look at robber barons and the strike breakers left a lasting impression. If you want to listen to a beautifully made podcast that will get you real mad about capitalism, that's the one.

Inward Empire is great and I'm really glad I followed the thread's recommendation to start listening a year or so ago. The King Philip's War two-parter is one of my favorite podcast listens ever and is everything I wish Hardcore History could be.

Yeah it's fantastic, I loved From Camelot to Abilene about the creation of the myth of "The Cowboy." Can't wait for the Vietnam war ep that he is working on now.

I agree, Inward Empire is an incredible podcast, the host is a perfect podcaster in their voice, tone, style etc. I can see myself donating to them to keep more episodes coming, something I don’t feel with any other podcast I guess bc I usually listen to audiobooks or music And it covers the period of American history that all high school curriculums completely skip

I started listening to the History of Philosophy podcast and it's really good. It's going to take forever to get through everything though, the guy is being extremely thorough and making sure to cover non-European philosophy.

Philosophy is something I'm interested in but don't care enough to really really learn about since it seems so dense. If it's like the History of English podcast in terms of accessibility that'd be perfect. I love that thing.

I think it balances things well, the host is a real philosopher but he makes it easy enough to understand even for a layman. I'm still on the presocratic philosophers (there are a lot of episodes) and he hasn't even gotten to the 16th century yet, you can follow it step by step and see how each new thinker builds on the ones before.

I highly recommend the history of of literature for something calm and relaxing to listen to while doing yardwork. My only grievance is that the Murakami episode was a let down since I've only read 1q84 and Kafka on the shore and the pod covered like everything but those two novels. The Carlin addendum episode was good since they just dunked on half their own fan base that thinks nazis were left wing.

Carlin himself recently went on a little twitter rant about this with a bunch of maga chuds trying to "correct" him the whole time. It was very good.

I just discovered Omnibus with Ken Jennings and John Roderick. It's a general knowledge informational podcast, and they have a really good patter; I'd recommend if you like either of their output. About four episodes in, and really enjoying it so far. There's like a 130 hr backlog, to boot

I've actually been mostly on a break from podcasts for a bit since I have quite a few history related audiobooks (Oh hey, I just discovered there's a history book thread!), but Omnibus is the only Podcast I'm not backlogged on. You won't be disappointed in the backlog. There's maybe half a dozen duds in there, but almost all of them are good to great.

I'm a fan of Omnibus as well, though I tend to pick and choose which episodes I listen to as I've found some of them not particularly interesting. If you're delving into the backlog I'd go in reverse chronological order (most -> least recent), as I think their earlier episodes were much worse about staying on topic. I don't mind when they go off-piste with the riffing, but when you're excited to hear them talk about X and you just get 10 minutes of Star Trek jokes it's a little off-putting.

Laszlo Montgomery's China History Podcast isn't exactly "left wing" but it is rather supportive overall of the Maoist/Chinese Communist Party goals (though of course, not always the methods or results) throughout the relevant time periods, instead of being stridently against them like a lot of podcasts that have touched on Chinese history have been before.

Yeah, there's a big whack of ads at the start but at least with History on Fire once they're done, you know they're done and you're in for a long episode with no interruptions. Just sucks if I'm driving and one starts. As an aside, I'm absolutely loving Alie Ward's Ologies, where she interviews a scientist every week. It's very informative and her style keeps it light.

The live episodes are also pretty bad offenders; I think they insist on fitting two episodes into each festival slot so each episode is a lot shorter, less focused, and (at least in one case) ends immediately after they get to the subject. Definitely one of my favorite podcasts though.
