About this listen

Are you tired of hearing the same old corporate-approved talking points from the mainstream news and sellout politicians who promise change and never deliver? If the answer is yes then you're in the right place.


We're here to talk about what the oligarchs don’t want you to hear and give a leftist perspective on the current news and social justice movements around the world. Calling out corporate politicians and big-money interests that have dominated our lives by highlighting the power of the working class and the movements fighting back.


Every Wednesday we’ll either be taking a deep dive through news stories the media establishment wants you to ignore or conversing with issue experts, grassroots activists, community leaders, and leftist candidates/elected officials about how we move forward.


Get ready, it's time for a leftist takeover!
