Today, we’re rolling out the first episode of a new podcast: The Vast Majority, hosted by me, Jacobin managing editor Micah Uetricht. Give it a listen here.

The plan for the podcast is pretty simple: I’ll interview writers from Jacobin and our sister publications like Catalyst and Tribune about their articles (as well as socialist organizers and whoever else I feel like interviewing) in short, conversational episodes once a week. The Left is on the rise in the United States and around the world; I’ll be talking with writers and organizers about the key issues that rising left is facing.

The Vast Majority joins our other three podcasts at Jacobin Radio: the Dig, hosted by Daniel Denvir; Behind the News, hosted by Doug Henwood; and Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman. You can subscribe to all four at Jacobin Radio on iTunes, Stitcher, or Blubrry; a standalone feed for The Vast Majority will be available soon. You can like the podcast on Facebook or follow it on Twitter.

The first episode is an interview with Bhaskar Sunkara, Jacobin‘s editor and publisher. Bhaskar is the author of The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality (Basic Books), which came out today.

I talked to Bhaskar about the state of the socialist movement, socialism’s relationship to liberalism and markets, and Bhaskar’s utopian vision of a Buffalo Wild Wings on every corner.
