Anyone have any communist podcast recs for someone is vaguely liberal but not politically keyed in? (hexbear.net)

My wife was asking for podcast recs. She's an exvangelical lesbian who tends to pick up liberal takes through osmosis from her workmates.

Upstream. If she starts from the beginning, it is pretty radlib & identity politics focused first, but it has been satisfying to see the podcast become more radical year after year. Their recent China episodes for example have been pretty good. It covers all sort of topics, so there is probably something there for everyone.

I listened to it years ago when I was still very much a baby leftist myself, then dropped it for a few years as I moved on to others recommended here. And now went back to find out they have gone full Marxist.

Edit. Adding that one of the hosts in this one is a woman which is a rare thing in the lefty podcast-world afaik. It isn't as "laddish" as some of the others mentioned here can sometimes be and I think that not everyone will like shows like the Deprogram, which I personally do like, but the banter can sometimes be a bit much.
