In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Nope. Another one for the to do list?
Yeah, would recommend checking him out.
Oh!
Chapo trap house - It's a left wing/comedy/Steven Seagal tribute podcast. If you looking for good left wing podcasts it does'nt get any better than Chapo.
There's also a ton of other great stuff - philosophy tube, Contra Points, Mark Fisher, zero books, Novara media podcasts and of course everyone favourite problematic family member Zizek. A big issue is that YouTube algorithm favours more far right shit head content, I sure it's why Russell Brand has at times some good awful guests and video titles.
we're going to re-radicalizing pogue. he was once one of us but the howling forces of age, entropy, and dentistry have turned him into a contrarian bathroom warrior. its time for an intervention.
I don't think Chapo is for anybody outside pessimistic and angry leftists (which is why i love it).
Contra and maybe Shaun are left youtubers who should have much wider appeal. I agree with @Odegaard's suggestion of Three Arrows too, but he's a little dry sometimes.

just let me have this
In my defense, I was browsing reddit at the time....
Also hbomberguy’s Measured Response series...
...But less the stuff where paints himself blue and dissects the lore of sonic the hedgehog.
I'm not really into podcasts, find it hard to concentrate on the spoken rather than the written word. But would it be fair to say that they've kind of taken over from book-reading when it comes to politics?
I got into podcasts relatively recently. I listen to them while walking the dog. Not as a replacement for reading, but can be a good place to discover interesting people and then read their books.
I think either Shaun or Hbomb introduced me to Stefan Molyneux, and I will make sure everyone here suffers his tweets like I do.
Also I think I sold Contra short, her videos are a little better researched and much better produced than most youtubers.
I listen when doing work in the lab, away from the computer but with not much thought needed. I've read (i think) 3 books based on podcast interviews of their authors, but I'll admit that I've become much lazier wrt reading nowadays.
I had to basically stage an intervention to stop my wife’s cousin taking this cock womble seriously. He’s such a thunderous wanker (Molyneux, my wife’s cousin is a decent bloke) A genuinely poisonous piece of shit. Astonishing how easy it is to influence people if you can cobble together powepoint presentations full of “facts” and talk bollox about them on youtube.
Stefan is one of the absolute craziest people I've come across so far in my "political rabbit-hole". Can't fathom how people take him seriously.
Not an argument
Yeah Ive watched a few of his videos, I think the dangerous thing about Molyneux is it isnt obvious at first what a snake he is. Not as obvious as it is in some other cases, anyway.
I saw it. You have to use the letter ø, but that might be difficult. The simplest wayu is probably to copy/paste my name and removing a letter so the auto-filler shows my full name. Every now and then I search for odegaard to see if people have tried to tag me.
Saw Mark Blyth's name mentioned on the previous page, one of the few commentators who I think discusses economic policy in a truly honest way, not letting his biases get in the way.
Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk is good
Sounds more like a new music sub genre
He has a Tony Adamseque quality.
Does that prove he's a racist or just a terrible judge of character?
Read his 'retraction' about King, basically 'yeah he defended white supremacism, so it's not totally implausible he's a racist'.
The first few pages of this thread were a trainwreck, not surprised the characters who prize themselves on their 'neutrality' are enamoured by this twunt.
Yep. What a shambolic cnut he is, and by the looks of it a racist one.
He's the sort of guy who'll never openly admit to being racist or who probably doesn't view himself as one, but who nevertheless will happily hold ideals which discriminate against certain minority groups and who'll accidentally continue to associate with racists/white supremacists on a regular basis.
Was listening to a podcast with him on it on the way in to work this morning. He's well worth a listen. The podcast was all about why he called Trump and the Brexit referendum correctly in advance. It was recorded in March last year and he said with absolute certainty that there's going to be a hard Brexit because the Tories will tear themselves apart trying to come up with a deal that works for everyone. Impressive predictive powers yet again.
The podcast is the Second Captains World Service. Which you have to pay for on Patreon but has some excellent political content. I also listened to one which featured a journalist from the Irish Times, Laura Kennedy give the most convincing defence of Jordan Peterson I've heard yet. Basically that he's not this uber-conservative Machiavellian genius so many people want him to be, just a bit of an odd-ball psychologist who made the most out of finding himself - almost inadvertently - in the spotlight to make a load of money out of a fairly mundane self-help book. A premise which I'll admit I found fairly convincing.
Anyone watch Jimmy Dore?
Shapiro is clearly racist if you pay attention to his stuff. He does his very best to hide it.
So are most of the ‘right wing’ intellectuals but that’s a bigger can of worms.
Now and then. He was good on the Joe Rogan experience.
I really enjoy listening to his views when he is on a panel with other TYT people because it provides a bit of balance. I especially enjoy watching him spar with Michael Shure as they really dont seem to like each other at all. Or at least they disagree massively on most political questions.
On the Jimmy Dore Show itself I find he rambles a lot.
Ok this is epic
I'd kill myself if Ben Shapiro was my employer
I bet he is insufferable. Thinks he's the bollox.
Next you guys will claim even his wife and kids don't really like him either because of that tweet about Arab people
