Yes We’ve Got A Podcast!<\/em><\/p>\n

A while ago some body asked me to recommend some (anarchist\/left\/progressive) \/p\u0259\u02c8l\u026at\u026ak(\u0259)l\/ podcasts. As a slave to the market, below is a list of a few dozen that I think may be of interest. Most are published on multiple platforms, but where they’re not I’ve included links to specific instances; most are also Yanqui, gotta Patreon, and Twitter account. Obviously<\/em>, there’s hundreds and thousands of other interesting podcasts out there. Equally obviously, this list is not exhaustive, and I may add to it as time goes by, so feel free to leave a comment with suggestions.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/p>\n

\u2022 I do monthly radios on Melbourne community radio station 3CR<\/a> with my co-host Dr Cam. It’s Radiothon time and we need your filthy lucre. Please feel free to make a donation<\/a>. Cam is holding our old shows ransom at the moment, and stated that he’ll only release them if we hit our target, when I can then upload them to Patreon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
