Listen "Overview of Coming From Left Field Podcast"
Episode Synopsis
This is a 10-minute "deep dive" overview of the Coming From Left Field Podcast created by Google's AI NotebookLM research assistant. It provides a summary of the content and highlights selective episodes that have been aired over the past four years, where we discuss politics, history, economics, social justice, media, and philosophy—often from a critical, leftist perspective.
Core Themes Include:
Politics & History: Critique of mainstream narratives, discussions on democracy, imperialism, and historical events (e.g., Greensboro massacre).
Economics & Labor: Focus on neoliberalism, wealth inequality, and labor movements.
Education & Media: Analysis of education policy, media bias, and press freedom (e.g., Julian Assange coverage).
Social Justice: Indigenous rights, civil rights, and critiques of policing.
Philosophy & Marxism: Deep dives into Marxist theory, socialism, and ideological debates.
Health & Culture: Intersections of politics and health, mental health, and occasional cultural topics (poetry, music).
Final Thought:
I hope you will conclude that our podcast exemplifies how niche, persistent media can deepen public engagement with specific ideologies and counter-narratives, filling gaps left by traditional news cycles.
