Are you looking at the growing field of Democratic Presidential candidates and wondering who they are and who to trust?  My guest this week has an informed and interesting take on the campaign and the Democratic Party itself. Benjamin Studebaker is an American doing a PhD in Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on economic inequality and democratic theory. Benjamin received his BA in Politics from the University of Warwick in 2013 and his MA from the University of Chicago in 2014.  He blogs at benjaminstudebaker.com and has recently started a podcast with Aimee Terese called What’s Left?

This episode begins with a brief update on stories we’ve covered recently, then Benjamin and I discuss US politics and the prospects for the Left.
