The LB Podcast (formerly Left Behind: Socialism in the Age of Right Wing Populism) is hosted and produced by Chris Markevich. A social justice activist and former NDP staffer in Ottawa, Chris feels that leftist ideas and issues are being ‘left behind’ in contemporary politics and the mainstream media and that interviews conducted by reporters are generally with so-called experts, executives and politicians, many of whom have no personal stake in the outcome of the lives of everyday Canadians.
