Episode Notes

In this episode, we reflect on the work and ideas of Noam Chomsky, the esteemed linguist and public intellectual, who recently suffered a stroke which has rendered him unable to participate in public discourse. Chomsky has been a beacon of inspiration and insight for many on the Left for decades, and his absence is being deeply felt.

We delve into some of Chomsky's core ideas — exploring his incisive critique of US foreign policy, his staunch defence of free expression, and the political philosophies that shaped his thought, from anarchism to Zionism. A fair number of biographical details also come up throughout the discussion, offering a look at the man behind the ideas.
