Your Neighbor on the Left is a podcast done, not by a professional political talking head, but just an average guy, living life as a progressive liberal in the midst of very conservative surroundings. Each episode will tackle hot topics for the week, as well as doing a deep dive on one important issue. A must-listen for progressives of every ilk, but also a non-hostile way for folks on the right to hopefully better understand their neighbors on the left.
