    Part of that is survivor’s bias. Something else that plays into it is how we often don’t keep ties to leftist or left-leaning elders. But they’re certainly there.

      Once I got bored of podcasts so I started listening to more lectures and interviews, all the academics I listen to are much older people. Vijay Prashad is probably the youngest, along with Gabriel Rockhill and Yanis Varoufakis. Otherwise, it’s Michael Hudson, Richard Wolff, Finkelstein, David Harvey, etc.

      Writing this list out, I’m starting to notice a pattern, and I might need to start trying to look for more academics who aren’t old white men.
