I’d second this, Pick Me Up I’m Scared and Blowback are excellent for learning actual history which is essential, not optional, for understanding the current historical moment.
It’s truly excellent, I’d say start with their season on Cuba. I really love how they juxtapose all their information with real media soundbites from the time. It’s enough to permanently disillusion one of the concept of the fReE pREss; privately owned media doesn’t need capitalist governments to directly tell them what to say and print because their interests are those of capital so their goals align anyways (though sometimes they WILL just tell them what to do).
