I've been really digging The East is a Podcast for this. Definitely been the best pod to help me feel sane lately, their Tankie Group Therapy eps with the Electric Intifada peeps haven't necessarily been informative but just hearing a bunch of reasonable people talk about this stuff while everyone else in the imperial core is completely deranged has been helpful, and the ep from a few days ago with the International Coordinator of Samidoun was really interesting

The Citations Needed live shows have also been really great, having Adam's crystal clear focus on beating down lib talking points like a decorated Twitter veteran is cleansing to the soul.

RWN has been doing some Hamas deep dives but I haven't checked in since their first few breaking news eps.

I thought the Chapo ep with Mohammad Alsaafin was good, but I don't really listen to the show so I don't know if they've done much since then.

I am not online enough to know which is the best but I've been pretty happy with every one that I've heard cover it. I kinda expected to get a bad take out of at least one pod

I'm actually really glad to see that pretty much every leftie or vaguely left person I listen to, watch, or read has been pro-Palestine. Also all my real life comrade been actually been going to organized events. Pretty glad everyone is onboard.

Rev Left Radio I think has done a great amount of coverage of Palestine for quite a while.

Oh yeah I forgot about Breht's rant ep last month, dude is like the most earnest guy on the planet bless him. He went way harder than he did after George Floyd.

Dude has a heart for the people and "earnest" I think is a great descriptor for him. Just seems like a cool dude who cares about seeing the world better. I dig that about him.
