Show overview
The Lean to the Left Podcast has been publishing since 2001, and across the 25 years since has built a catalogue of 835 episodes. That works out to roughly 370 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 43rd season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 11 min and 40 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language News show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 weeks ago, with 32 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2020, with 237 episodes published. Published by Bob Gatty.

Meanwhile, my co-author, CJ Waldron and I, are hard at work on a follow-up volume, bringing readers up to date on developments since those editions were published. So, watch for that on Amazon.The Lean to the Left podcast, now completing its fourth year, was launched as part of our blog site, LeantotheLeft.net, which had its beginnings in 2017 in response to Donald Trump’s bullying and name-calling tactics and his attacks on the mainstream news media. Our goal was to set the record straight on Trump’s claims and divisive rhetoric, which has continued through his defeat by President Joe Biden, unfounded claims of election fraud, the January 6, 2021 insurrection, and his efforts to regain the Presidency.I bring to this effort a wealth of experience as political journalist and editorial services company president, previously having served two members of Congress, one Republican and the other a Democrat, as chief of staff and press secretary. ,If you share these concerns and want to stay abreast of key political developments with insight from experts and pointed commentary tinged with humor, please subscribe to this channel .
