While the far-right continues to gain ground around the world, the international left has arguably never been so fragmented. Many of its most prominent figures use different labels to describe themselves (socialists, progressives, populists…). Their platforms and styles vary. Even exchange among them is relatively limited. And yet, they do seem to share a set of common foes and a broad commitment to using state power to improve the lives of ordinary working-class people. In certain countries, they're even on the rise or already in government. In this show, Cole Stangler explores these differences and the specificities of national contexts all the while underlining the commonalities, with a basic question: What do we want? (Hosted by Cole Stangler. )

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
