I'm really enjoying Past Present Future. I'd say it's a good listen for fans of the LRB Podcast, deep diving into political history through rich conversations about resonant literature and key geographies.

This piece, on life in East Germany under the Iron Curtain, offers some terrific insights into the role of consumerism in identity formation and idealist thinking even amid the devastating pragmatics of revolution.
