Overview of Coming From Left Field Podcast

10 minutes

This is a 10-minute "deep dive" overview of the Coming From Left Field Podcast created by Google's AI NotebookLM research assistant. It provides a summary of the content and highlights selective episodes that have been aired over the past four years, where we discuss politics, history, economics, social justice, media, and philosophy—often from a critical, leftist perspective.

Core Themes Include:

Politics & History: Critique of mainstream narratives, discussions on democracy, imperialism, and historical events (e.g., Greensboro massacre).

Economics & Labor: Focus on neoliberalism, wealth inequality, and labor movements.

Education & Media: Analysis of education policy, media bias, and press freedom (e.g., Julian Assange coverage).

Social Justice: Indigenous rights, civil rights, and critiques of policing.

Philosophy & Marxism: Deep dives into Marxist theory, socialism, and ideological debates.

Health & Culture: Intersections of politics and health, mental health, and occasional cultural topics (poetry, music).

Final Thought:

I hope you will conclude that our podcast exemplifies how niche, persistent media can deepen public engagement with specific ideologies and counter-narratives, filling gaps left by traditional news cycles.
