From self-described Democratic Socialist to current-day darling of the online right, George Orwell's reputation is in flux. We look at Orwell through three of his most famous essays, situating him within the socialist tradition while also identifying/contextualizing his reactionary streak.

Is there any way I could write up a Michael & Us episode and discuss Orwell?? I feel like there's such a bigger discussion that could be had about him, and as a person with a history degree as well as being a leftist I'm very interested in discussing this topic

I feel the need to go to bat for Bistro 422, which at least by the time I was going there regularly (2017ish) was the diviest place for miles in either direction. Pitchers of house brew for $9, solo cocktail pitchers for $9 as well, and my friends and I were always the only ones there. Really appreciated you guys going down this little avenue, I left Toronto for good in May and I am struggling with the fact that whenever I come back next it's gonna be a devastatingly different place.
