Last week, Zohran Mamdani shattered the notion that a New York City mayor has to be some craggy-faced, man-shaped stack of disappointments who’d sooner die than be seen on the subway. The young, energetic Democratic Socialist ran on a platform of making New York City a more livable place for average residents, which—surprise!—went over well with average residents. Listening to constituents and trying to improve their lives doesn’t seem like a controversial stance, so why is it that the Democratic establishment seems almost as afraid of Mamdani as the Republicans? This week, Adam sits with Defector journalist and longtime NYC resident David Roth to talk about what it might mean for NYC to have a mayor who actually understands what NYC is, and what that might mean for the future of the left.

does anyone have a yks feed they can kindly share? muchos gracias

Will and Hesse are joined by producer Chris Wade to talk about two 1968 counter-culture satires: Bob Rafelson‘s Head and Barry Shear‘s Wild in the Streets.

In this episode of Left of the Projector, we explore the cultural impact of the 2001 film The Fast and the Furious, diving into its portrayal of car culture and masculinity. Joined by Zach, Connor, Bryant and Brandon from Cars and Comrades, we dissect the film's iconic racing scenes and memorable characters, debating the significance of vehicles like the Toyota Supra and Nissan Skyline. We examine the evolution of the franchise from street racing to grand action heists, and analyze themes of loyalty and exploitation through the lens of Dom Toretto and Brian O’Conner’s relationship. Additionally, we reflect on early 2000s fashion, memorable quotes, and the film's legacy, teasing exciting crossover potential for future installments.

Hi all

There was a good post a while ago about left wing Spanish language audio stuff - podcasts, videos etc

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for left French stuff in a similar vein

Lectures/essays OK, but would also like more conversational, back and forth, interviews etc

Would be very keen for anything outside of Europe/Canada too

I got a "thank you for subscribing to American Prestige" in my feed and no new episodes. Anyone have another feed? ty
