  • Michael and Us: Back to Brunch

    A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.

    With Biden's victory all but confirmed, we discuss the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election: the narratives being spun to explain the results, Trump's response, why four years of Biden/McConnell will almost certainly be bad, and why there still may be cause of optimism. Then we discuss a movie for times like this: Charlie Chaplin's career-destroying anti-capitalist black MONSIEUR VERDOUX (1947), a film that told America, "Things are bad, and have always been bad."

  • A World to Win: US Election Special w/ Briahna Joy Gray and Matt Karp

    A World to Win is a podcast from Grace Blakeley and Tribune bringing you a weekly dose of socialist news, theory and action with guests from around the world. This week we have a US election special on A World to Win, as the world’s leading superpower melts down over a cliff-edge presidential contest.

    Grace Blakeley is joined by two guests – former Bernie Sanders national press secretary Briahna Joy Gray and Jacobin contributing editor Matt Karp – to discuss the Biden landslide that never was, the deep polarisation in American politics and the way forward for the US Left.

    A reminder that you can support our work on the show by becoming a Patron.

    Thanks to our producer, Conor Gillies, and Tribune’s designer Kevin Zweerink for their work on this episode. This podcast is supported by the Lipman-Miliband Trust.

  • Jacobin Radio: Harry Litman on Bush vs. Gore, Marc Cooper on US Election and Chilean Plebiscite
    Suzi talks to Harry Litman, former U.S. Attorney and Deputy Assistant Attorney General, about the grim possibility that Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s citing of Bush v Gore to support a recent Supreme Court decision could portend a replay of the Court’s notorious halting of the Florida recount to decide the 2000 election. Kavanaugh’s invoking of Justice Rehnquist’s widely derided opinion to justify the Court’s interfering in a state election -- in a case about extending the ballot deadline in Wisconsin -- signals that the high Court could once again, in 2020, swoop in and save the day for a Republican president. Harry Litman explains. Marc Cooper, journalist now writing the Coop Scoop Newsletter, gives his take on the election, looking at comparisons and possible parallels between the historic plebiscite a week ago in Chile on Pinochet’s constitution, and the US election, a referendum on Trump and his handling of the pandemic. Chileans voted by a huge majority to throw out the Pinochet Constitution and for a Constituent Assembly with gender parity to write a new one, without the participation of the politicians. It is a plebiscite with huge consequences – and Marc Cooper also thinks the US election is another consequential plebiscite, which he explains.
