Jathan is emblematic of the windbag Marxist professor who can't help themselves with the endless lecturing and quotes from Marx before asking his guest an actual question. Cannot recommend.

For some reason i can’t download episodes like I do for other pods. It takes for ever and often crashes out halfway. I can download other pods just fine. As a true Luddite, I don’t have cell service and rely on wifi downloads so it’s har to listen.

It’s a worthwhile listen

this pod is incredible. the perfect balance of intellectually informed and salt of the earth ways of speaking. ed’s intellectual and cultural understanding of issues is totally profound. jathan talks a lot (just responding to other reviews here) but what he has to say is significant and profound - not to mention absolutely hilarious. i love the tmk canon, chairman bezos, comrade graber, et al. still longing for the TMK x softbank futureware. hope it’s not vaporware. -jack jammer

Jathan doesn’t shut up.

Amazing. Love you guys

Keep at it lads

If you’re going to include a guest, please give them airtime. A recent episode included a 20 minute (speech?) by Jathan. I know the hosts are whip-smart and passionate about these subjects but its’ a frustrating listen.

Does a great service by going beyond critiquing the obvious stupidities such as crypto coins and NFTs, and examines the more insidious connections of surveillance technologies, automation, algorithmic discrimination, and finance capitalism. The hosts take time to fully unpack the ramifications of these connections, sometimes going deep into the weeds with a guest, and explore the dire consequences of things running unchecked.

is the most worrying set of facts and evidence we are all testily screwed unless we immediately demand better. Critical.

essential listening for making sense of a world of accelerating nonsense

Overall an interesting podcast but can be hard to follow since it’s somewhat rambly and unstructured. It can also be a bit unapproachable and hard to digest; most of the episodes seem geared toward people who have the same academic background as Jathan (host).

Elon Musk is my fav❤️

While claiming some amount of socialist ideology to their own, they are staunchly opposed to international solidarity with Marxist Leninist parties, particularly the CPC, which these exclusively western podcasters claim is capitalist bc markets and capital still exist under their developing socialist nation.

This is one of the best look in to US economy with the theft of the American citizen. With looks in to indexing, privatization, globalization, union busting, and the CEO of all CEO’s. Scary and truthful look at who are pulling the strings, manipulation, and controlling the US government.

Excellent discussions, terrifying subject matter.
