Every Saturday at 1 PM ET, Ana Kasparian and Nando Vila broadcast live from the Jacobin YouTube channel. Weekends features free-flowing and humorous commentary on current events and political strategy. This is the podcast version of the show from February 6, 2021, with Paul Prescod filling in for Nando.

Historian Eric Foner discusses how Civil War history and the events of Reconstruction can help us understand our present political moment. Paul Prescod explains why "black capitalism" will never lead to racial equality, and Ana Kasparian offers ideas for fixing our broken media. Eric Foner is professor of history at Columbia University and the author of Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877.
