The Rad Left

James and Casey contemplate the mechanisms at play which tend to suppress leftist ideology from becoming mainstream and progressive-centric media in favor of platforms that are overtly reactive, hateful, and constantly promote misinformation. We are also joined by Danny who will help us fact check on the fly! Welcome, Danny! The state of the world is bleak, but we remind ourselves and our listeners how important community is. So stay safe out there, y'all, and stay rad!

Casey and James talk Genocide Joe and his mishandling of the genocide in Gaza by Israel and his disgusting remarks at The State of the Union address. We talk Tik-Tok and propaganda, and just hope that we're on the right side of things... cuz we're admittedly not the brightest crayons in the box. Everyone be safe out there! And as always... Free Palestine!

James and Casey talk Palestine-Israel, about the horrors of genocide, and about what needs to be done moving forward (spoiler: the answer is an IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE!). The world is depressing, but The Rad Left tries to find meaning beneath all the sewage. Thanks for tuning in, you beautiful people!

Casey and James talk bands. Their bands. Bands they grew up with. Bands that suck. Bands that broke the mold. So many politics to talk about... and yet they didn't... how bold, how brave, how rad of them. 

James and Casey are super stoked to be back in the Over the CounterCulture Records studio, in person, to cover their most favorite topics: politics, drugs, sex, music and child marriage laws. Fun stuff here in the depths of 2023. Hope y'all are doing swell, it's great to be back!

Casey and James talk with Bubble West again, this time tackling the exciting world of drugs and how our world was quite literally shaped by them... for good or ill. 

James and Casey talk about the first days of the Biden Administration. There're some positive things in the works, but we approach them expecting to be disappointed as things return to "normal" in many ways. 

James and Casey talk about the events on January 6th, 2021. A day that will live in infamy: The culmination of five years of inflammatory rhetoric, personalities based solely around lib-owning and military cosplay, and the lack of opposition to what amounts to social media-platformed sedition, treason, and lots and lots of dumb... Trump's White Supremacist Terrorist Coup of 2021...

James and Casey talk with Danger about things you can do to protect yourself from data-mining, and things that you can do to hurt the system, even if just a little bit.

Casey and James discuss the epic failure of the US's Covid response, from the failure to keep Americans home to contain the virus to their consistent pattern of neglect while more and more people slip into poverty — or worse. Your government has failed you. Happy Holidays, everyone! Stay rad!
