This interview is a bit different from some of the others I’ve done. We do touch on politics a bit but it’s really a personal look at what someone who suffers from a chronic condition is dealing with. My friend Matty is the host of the podcast Nooks and Crannies and if you’ve been listening for a long time then you might remember him from early on with the episode titled Canadian Lefties Chatting or something like that. It actually isn’t even up on youtube because my internet was so bad that the video was awful. Matty is a brilliant guy who studied anthropology and has also suffered over 40 concussions. This discussion is about that and how the system, even our Canadian system, is failing him.

Hey everyone, I’m happy to once again bring you another complete episode of The Mind of a Skeptical Leftist. I have another great interview for you. This time I’m talking to Rodger Moran and Joe Roberts from New Left Radio which is a show they run in association with the Democratic Socialists of Canada. As usual if you want the full interview then you can find the slightly longer version by becoming a patron, or you can email me at mindofaskepticalleftist@gmail.com to tell me you want a copy of the audio or a link to the video. This time around on Ask an Anarchist I’m going to address one of the questions I got on Tiktok. Then we’ve got the tenth installment of Red Reviews and we talk about Michael Parenti’s book, Black Shirts and Reds, and then you get another Anarchist Reading Corner where I read an excerpt from the book The Anarchist Turn. You can find all the relevant links here - https://skepticalleftistpod.wordpress.com/2021/09/12/revolution-or-no-revolution-with-joe-roberts-and-rodger-moran/

Hey everyone, I’m happy to once again bring you another episode of The Mind of a Skeptical Leftist. This time around I have another great interview. I’m talking to Brandie, host of True North Radio and we talk a lot about politics and prisons in Saskatchewan. I had to cut this down a bit again but if you want the full interview then you can find the slightly longer version by becoming a patron, or you can email me at mindofaskepticalleftist@gmail.com to tell me you want a copy of the audio or a link to the video. Then I have a short section for Ask an Anarchist, I added a bit of post conversation commentary but I think this will be the last of the episodes with Rene and then I’ll move onto questions and comments I received on Tiktok and Instagram . Then we have Red Reviews number 9 where we talk about Nixonland by Rick Perlstein and then you get about 10 minutes of Anarchist Reading Corner where I read an excerpt from the book The Anarchist Turn. https://skepticalleftistpod.wordpress.com/2021/08/20/prisons-and-politics-w-brandie-from-true-north-radio/
