Left Opinion
You often see conservative and liberal mouthpieces in mainstream media, but leftist thought leaders don't have as large a platform. Here are some to check out:
YOUTUBE
Secular Talk (The Kyle Kulinski Show)
Joe Rogan called Kulinski "the most reasonable of all political reporters." If you don't see yourself on the left, or if you're not sure what exactly the left is, Kulinski's show is an excellent start. A social democrat, he is consistent, and unafraid to speak his mind. Watch his most recent Rogan interview here.
The Rational National (David Doel)
The appeal to the show is in the name; Doel offers nuanced, level-headed takes on current events. If you consider yourself a former liberal or a liberal dissatisfied with the Democratic Party, this is the opinion show for you, but he's fantastic regardless. Check him out on Twitter.
Some More News (Cody Johnston)
While a little more of a "niche" channel than the others listed above - Johnston is farther, and more openly, left - his commentary is still informed and fantastic and he offers quality over quantity. Give him a look on Twitter.
One of the chillest leftists doing it. Him and his co-hosts are extremely smart and worth tuning in to.
Tim Black is one of leading voices for African-Americans on the left; he's not scared to say how he feels - much like Kulinski. Show him some love on Twitter.
While Natalie Wynn's videos are on the longer side, they are quirky, informative, unique, and thought-provoking. She covers a wide array of topics, including politics, philosophy, ethics, and culture.
While host Sam Seder is more sympathetic to Democrats than we would recommend being, he is extremely fair and often gives true leftists a voice on his show.
Great for breaking down leftist economic theory and concepts in a way that is easy to understand.
PODCASTS
