David Swift is the Kreitman post-doctoral fellow at Ben Gurion University, he has published in journals including the History Workshop Journal and the Women's History Review, as well as writing for The Independent and LabourList. His book “A Left for Itself” is due out from Zero Books next month.

This week’s podcast is available in full for everyone but our patrons usually get access to two podcasts every week: Symptomatic Redness and Zero Squared. They also get access to our History of Communism video series, interviews with authors for our monthly book club, and pretty soon a reprised series called Pop the Left. If you’re a fan of this podcast consider becoming a patron.
