Michael and Us - A podcast by Luke Savage and Will Sloan, Jacobin

Categories:

Imagine someone fed the last 10-or-so years of American liberal politics into an A.I. machine and told it to create a Netflix miniseries. Friends... you don't have to imagine.

PLUS: Checking in on the Canadian Liberal Party leadership race, and what ever happened to the Garfield Eats guy?
