The Left Unsaid

This week, senior members of the Biden administration presented their defense before history, explaining or pointing fingers over their support for Israel’s assault on Gaza. In this episode, we pick that defense apart and com...

This episode features part two of our conversation with Catholic Worker organizers Lenore Yarger and Steve Woolford, and their son Quinn. From their rural North Carolina home base, they’ve spent 20 years running the GI Rights...

This week, the tide may finally be starting to turn against genocide. A majority of Democratic Senators voted with Bernie to cut off some weapons to Israel. Not enough, but a major step forward. Zohran Mamdani polls overwhelm...

After a brief detour hiatus due to vacation, COVID superspreading, and a flood event here in Chapel Hill, we’re back with our very first interview. This week, we talk with our cousin Chiara Kimelia, Dartmouth student and fres...

This week, Trump launched a full-throttle, unprovoked strike on Iran, violating U.S. law, international law, and any shred of moral credibility. The oligarchy is flexing its muscles, but we can flex back. We examine the oppos...

This week, the McElwee family returns to the belly of the beast - domestic politics - to rip apart Trump’s $4.5 trillion “budget” bill, aka oligarchic looting plan. We break down what’s in the bill, how it’s quietly murdering...

This week, we start with the deranged plot twist of the Duck Dynasty guy teaming up with Homeland Security to turn immigration into reality TV. For these people, The Hunger Games was a how-to manual. From there, we drag our m...

Meg returns for a Mother’s Day episode that is warm, weird, and wildly enraging. We start with a ceasefire (India and Pakistan) and end with state violence (ICE kidnapping a mom in Massachusetts). In between, we explore the i...

This week, it’s just Patrick and Finn—no Meg, but plenty of rage, history, and dark humor. Starting with the unspeakable horrors coming out of Gaza, they explore not only the U.S.’s financial and political complicity but also...
