Two weeks ago Andrew Marantz accompanied me to the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social rally in Wash Heights. He wrote a piece about @thedigradio.bsky.social and about how I see this huge opening for the left, need for coalition w libs, and the urgency of getting serious about building/wielding power. Link👇

What was the 'Battle in Seattle'? Who won? How did it shape the movement for trade justice globally and in Europe?

It was wonderful to have @danieldenvir.bsky.social join us recently to unpick these questions for the latest episode of @thedigradio.bsky.social podcast

"The perfect Baltimore Avenue business is affordable but not cheap, nicer than what we’ve got but not too nice."

An excellent piece about where I live in West Philly.

In this interview, it’s revealed that Jens has never heard - or heard of - the Billy Joel song “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant”. Floored by this for some reason.

The ads on the new Heavyweight season are brutal. Long cell phone company ad read by Gladwell, pharma ad, and more... I can't remember them all because I turned it off.

I know this is one way to survive financially in this current podcast ecosystem, but it's a terrible experience for the listener.
