    Click through to hear the full interview! Marlon Ettinger and Olly Haynes join us ON OUR NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL to discuss the 2022 French legislative elections, the over-performance of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's left coalition and how his model of left populism differs from that of Bernie Sanders or Jeremy Corbyn.

    We wanted to let our podcast audience know that we are launching our own new YouTube channel, and we'd love to have you as the first free subscribers: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9IxivPUqcYO9AEAw_GS7hQ 

    TPS will continue with our regular podcasts and Patreon.com/ThePopularPod interviews, as well as our weekly slot on Doug Lain's Sublation Media YouTube channel. But we want another place to post video more spontaneously, and to allow us to become more reactive to news events as they occur. This will also be a space for us to return to our roots as a livestream, on special occasions.

    A new YouTube channel relies on getting to 1000 subscribers relatively quickly. So any groupchats etc you can drop the link into, would be really appreciated!
