Left Anchor - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is a fantastic, insightful pod! Ryan and Alexi are brilliant, have great senses of humor, and play off each other well, including filling in knowledge gaps between the two (and the occasional chemistry lesson from Ryan). They bring on incredible guests and are actually prepared to discuss their areas of expertise and ask important questions. Can’t recommend it highly enough, it’s a little bit of light (dare I say, optimism) in a dark world. Thanks guys!

Really enjoy the Left Anchor pod, where Coop & Alexi take us on many an intellectual journey, dropping the anchor into a new harbor every episode. Each time delving into the lives, stories, and works of influential historic thinkers, writers, orators—deep dives that help me better understand their views and historic context as well as bring to surface the rather timeless insights (or mistakes) and apply them to our current political circumstances.
But it's not just a history class, the pod is peppered with interviews featuring contemporary and ever influential thinkers, writers, historians, professors, activist judges — informed voices in their respected fields all talking about pertinent topics with the hosts, who continue the theme of looking square in the eye at the constellation of facts and values surrounding the issues that matter to and define not just the Left, but our shared reality.
Then it all gets drawn back into a sturdy knot tying a sense of love for humanity and a commitment to more justice in a way and at a time that recognizes socialism as a pragmatic method to get from where we are to where we're going to. The pod lives up to its name, the fighting Left throwing down while the winds of political fortune are whipping fast over the choppy seas, the Anchor below that has it's strength in being grounded.

Such an excellent podcast with great guests, analysis, and discussions from the hosts. My go to podcasts for all things lefty that gives me hope in an otherwise bleak situation. Highly, highly recommend this underrated pod.

This podcast is great and this episode is particularly strong. Exposing the right-wing anti-trans movement and it's confusing embrace by "centrist America" is so important to begin fighting against this very hateful and dangerous trend in a unified voice. As a middle aged white ciswoman I am heartbroken and appalled by this hateful transphobia and this episode provided me so many eloquent talking points. Thank you.
