    This feels like a scenario where the probably right wing judge would want to side with the corporation but their argument is so insulting he’s forced to do the right thing. ALAB episode is gonna be a banger.

                  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.

                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.

            There’s a sanctions series that’s good. Otherwise just pick one based on what you’re interested in, there aren’t actually that many episodes
