amerigovonhistoryVolume equalityGreat content, but Ben…stop mumbling in the corner when your cohosts and guests are blowing out my ear drums. Ad on. This 100% my kind of “left”. Great recent episode with Vivek Chibber.

DespananRhetoric for the Rest of UsI positively love this podcast. Politics is often about arguments and there’s no one else on the left actually teaching people how to argue. Also Ben is lovable to the point of adorability. ;)

lynnhardingElocution!!!I so want to like this podcast but here is how it goes: “ like, but like , ya know, like , right, ya know”. Plus the left is so off on Covid. So sorry.

FuzzyUshLazyI'm giving this show a two-star rating instead of just one because of the content and intriguing perspectives it offers. Ben Burgis and his guests present interesting opinions, and as a supporter of Jacobin magazine, I appreciate Ben’s work. However, I recently listened to an episode that was supposed to feature a Norm Finkelstein debate. The first 30 minutes were filled with Ben and his team troubleshooting audio issues, followed by a backup debate that didn't include Norm. It seems that the primary preparation for this show is just getting a few people together and hitting the record button. While I’m not looking for extensive editing and appreciate elements of a loose format, there are segments that feel like a waste of listeners' time. Waiting for 30 minutes to access the content is not a productive use of the audience's time.

80'sVillagerFoolhardy Ross & RyanSeems Abortion Rights and January 6 Election Denial were much more significant issues to voters than Red Wave prophets Ross & Ryan assured us. With Fetterman heroically flipping Pennsylvania,Democrats will gain an extra seat to balance Manchin. IF Democrats do lose the house it will only be because a Republican judge replaced their gerrymandered map with a map gerrymandered by a Republican Special Master. But don’t worry Ross and Ryan. James Carville and Jake Tapper made fools of themselves as well. Just don’t underestimate the popularity of Joe Biden. In the real poll he got 81 million votes!

kingkongmonsterboyBen is awesomeGet a better microphone for Ben for sake of your listener’s. The content is really good. Please treat it, yourselves and your listeners with better sound

trent oblongAnd uh…but um…anyway soContent is fine, if a little faddish. Co-hosts are annoyingly demure and deferential. Ben is a sweet and intelligent person, but practically unlistenable for all the false starts and reflexive streams of “uhhhh”, “um”, and mouth clicks

ChrisK1600GTSound Quality LackingFirst off, big fan of Professor Burgis from The David Show. How I found out about this podcast. I have listed to about 10 of these and endured audio hiccups and recording issues, episode 40 of season 3 broke my patience. When they can have a better sound reproduction with each new episode, I’ll be back. But for now I will enjoy Ben’s commentary on David’s show.

Joint AnalysisGarbage audioPlease fix your audio, most episodes are unlistenable.

tash_89Divorced from realityConsider this a warning. In general, the more you listen to this podcast the more surprised you will be as the world continues to disappoint you. This podcast is divorced from reality. I listen to it from time to time only to understand what a certain block of the left consumes. I would suggest to other listeners do the same by considering other viewpoints. You might find them more rigorous than the ones espoused here. Finally, Ben isn’t much of a broadcaster. There’s the occasional dead air time between his labored breathing.

Dr. BucephalusDelusional IntellectualAs Orwell famously proclaimed: “Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.” Professor BB is a sterling exemplar of this truism. Despite his Ashkenazy IQ (ya, that makes me racist), impressive erudition, and the long history of gleeful bloodshed and the professed objectives of Palestinian and other Arab theocrats and dictators to wipe Israel off the map, he actually believes that Jews and Arabs should all get together and live in democratic harmony. (Arabs, especially Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hizbollah, et al, all pine for Western style democracy.) He’s a willfully self-blind ‘intellectual’ poisoning the impressionable minds of his college students. Nice faux vinyl album cover podcast logo though.

roll20sforpeopleIt’s goodI’ve have not, not been fascinated or learned something from a episode yet. Ben and Forest are grounded in their beliefs enough to talk to anyone.
