Left is best

The legacy of Michael Brooks is alive, and we’re all better off for this show existing.
DrD_NyC

Clear perspective

Recently found this show. Learning a lot so far. I think YouTube is its main platform and some clips may work better there. But I like podcasts and this show is still a great listen.

Good guys

Griscom is an exceptionally sharp political communicator

Language

Hard to listen to all the “like”s and “you know”s and speed talking. Three “like”s in one sentence?
Bunny Cub

Really like this podcast

I like their relaxed voices and it’s smart and funny but not obnoxious like some left podcasts these days.

Required (listening) for a tactical left

Matt and David are in touch with movements on the ground and political actors - not politicians, necessarily - who are working to create a more equitable future. Their show is an articulation of the theory that accompanies practice. Intellectual stuff rooted in grassroots organizing. This show is indispensable, awesome.

Great job

I love that Matt and David have took up the mantle from Michael and are doing good work. I do have a technical critique though, for some reason whenever Matt speaks it creates some popping and crackling that can blow my ears out when I have headphones on. Plus it’s extremely distracting. Content wise I love it and I’m not surprised they are doing such a good job.

Keep building

I appreciate the calls to deeper action. Left is best!

Love the podcast

finally bullied me into subbing, I guess. I was perfectly happy shadow watching but you demanded a YouTube head count, so here we are. Left is best.

Left is best

packersfanski

Great show

David and Matt are two really smart guys. I’ve enjoyed their work for a long time and am glad to support them on their new venture. Left is best.

Fun and Informative

Matt and David are doing a great job carrying on the legacy of the late great Michael Brooks. We need more shows like this if we are going to build the working class left to where it needs to be.
Boston Podcasts
