Description

Raise 'em Left is a podcast about parenting and raising kids from a leftist perspective in a conservative and neoliberal dominated country. We explore the basic challenges of being a parent, how we try to instill leftist values in our kids, and how we help our kids learn to push back against big cultural forces that try to indoctrinate them with a specific idea of what's normal.
