On this, our glorious siren song our hosts go over their favorite episodes and biggest problems with the show. They also talk politics because it seems like that's what people want to hear, probably. It's a safe bet by this point. Thanks to everyone who listened to the show over the last year. We wanted to do more but Ajit Pai has a blood grudge against Raghav as part of the Indian illuminati and it is no longer safe to continue. For it is said a blood grudge can only be quenched... with more blood.......

Threads From The Podcasting Crisis (w/ Kate Evans)

Have you ever been thrown out of a Trump Rally? Statistically probably not! But Arish Singh has! Arish (@arishish) opens up about the issues of mischaracterizing identity politics and being a "political comedian" without constantly working on your "brand." Then we have a really great interview the day after the NY primary with the hardworking Francisco Diez of the NYC DSA Electoral working group. The gang takes the opportunity to discuss winning elections, losing elections, and very briefly if cars are a type of horse. Sorry about the clicking sound in the last 10 minutes! We are working on it!

911 Local Elections (w/ Arish Singh & Francisco Diez)

Hillary's got a new book and it's getting a lot of coverage, but we're the only ones with the inside scoop on Lincoln Chafee's! We also talk about Martin O'Malley's hot body and Anders' big idea for a woke viral video. Then Jake Flores gives us a quick rundown of some antifa history and whether or not breaking a window is murder. 10/10 it's a podcast.

A Civilized Antifa Meeting (w/ Jake Flores)

Ladies and gentlemen blare your horns! Anders Lee returns triumphant to the Left Jest podcast! Anders is dying to talk about a fake facebook account he made as Jenna Bush and the ISO convention.

It's been a week, but we're gonna do it! We're tackling the rise and fall of Nazis in America. Is it funny? Parts are! First check out Alex's intro with guest co-host Danny Felts, ignore the reverb sound Danny left on the recording, and then enjoy the glorious 4th interview with Mic.com's Jack Smith IV. We're 4 for 4, baby. Check back soon to see if Raghav's recovered or will at least continue to host the podcast as a ghost!

Tale Of Two Rallies (w/ Jack Smith IV and Danny Felts)

Check out this interview recorded last year! Trans social media diva Angelica Vice comes on the show to talk out her views on sexuality and politics with then-hosts Ian Garcia and Anders Lee. Interesting talk radio, babyyyyy. We'll be back with some stuff on Charlottesville next week when everyone is tired of it, probably. It's a date.

Trans-ition From The Past (w/ Angelica Vice)

This week Left Jest opens its doors to Dominic Fogarty and Pedro Salinas, two down and out comedians / immigrants looking to forge a better life in the glorious lands of Talk Radio. Which comedian is secretly in the CIA? Is there a village of swole dudes who drink milk all day in India? Who in the room is going to become the President? Listen in for what is surely one of the most heartwarming episodes in podcast history. Also there are a bunch of clicks during the last 15 minutes and I couldn't get rid of them so I'm sorry about that.

The Immigrant Pod (w/ Dominic Fogarty & Pedro Salinas)

You dig radical politics? You dig jesting? Out of sight, Cool Cat. This sounds like your kinda show. Dig?

Join Brooklyn comedians Anders Lee, Raghav Mehta, and Alex Ptak as they force their filth communism and godless anarchy down the throats of the masses. Now with (some) jokes!
