Came here to see if anyone else was plugging the other CZM podcasts. I’ve expanded out to Cool People (I especially like the anarchist book club stories) and It Could Happen Here.
I wouldn’t call myself an anarchist by any means, but I like how they get to both the root causes of issues and also give some ideas on things we can do to make some of these situations better. That last part is what I feel is missing from just about every other show about current events.
That’s good to know there’s more like this. My issue with a lot of politics online is that it feels like all blind anger and defeatism. With things were they talk to those actually involved in the events and those working to fix things, it makes it a much more positive experience to stay up to date on issues.
