The only political podcast I listen to is The Deprogram. What else should I listen to? (hexbear.net)

I'm pretty open, and not really looking for anything specific here aside from the usual "no liberal bullshit" rule. I did listen to a bit of Chapo for a hot second in 2018 but I could be persuaded to go back if theyre good.

So to that end, what are your favorite episodes of your podcast of choice?

Did you listen to the "revolutions" podcast ? I've been listening to the Russian revolution series and it's pretty good.

I listened to the whole podcast, but once the Bolsheviks come to power in the last season Duncan falls back on Western anti-Soviet sources and biases so hard that I could barely finish it. Lenin's decline and death give way to a Game of Thrones level of terrible ending that sucks because overall the podcast is pretty great, but it broke my heart to hear "Stalin was just a paranoid maniac" when every other controversial revolutionary figure from every other period gets a square shake. At the end of the day, Mike Duncan is still just a lib who likes history.
