The Diet Soap podcast began in 2009 in response to the economic crisis of 2008. Since then it has gone through many transformations, including becoming the podcast for a critical theory imprint out of the UK. Today the Diet Soap podcast is running under its original name for Sublation Media.Sublation Media includes a book publishing effort for critical theory and left politics, a magazine that covers current events and theoretical issues, youtube videos on theory and politics, and finally the Diet Soap podcast. The podcast is where we continue to interrogate the left and each other while having a good time.

The New and Improved "Pop the Left"
In this first part of the promo episode of the newly resurrected Pop The Left podcast, C. Derick Varn and Douglas Lain discuss the impetus behind bringing back the show, freewheeling into topics of political determinism, the various camps of the actually existing Left, and the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Pop The Left will replace Symptomatic Redness as a fixture in your Zero Books feed, but the final episode of Symptomatic Redness with Amogh and Derick is forthcoming.
