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.
There are more podcasts that deal with these kind of issues and maybe how to improve on those, or at least give context and options.
A few other podcasts that touch on these subjects:
Revolutionary Left Radio Mass Struggle Live Like the World is Dying (also with Margaret Killjoy) Final Straw Radio This Anthro Life
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.
It is hard to find the outlets that are not just doom spewing but try to make it smaller and more personal, hopefully some of these podcasts give you a bit more that type of content that is motivating for you.
