Leftovers was an American leftist political podcast[1] hosted by Ethan Klein and Hasan Piker on the H3 Podcast. It is focused on politics and internet culture.[2][3][4] Klein stated that "the spirit of this show is not serious policy debate. It’s bringing righteous justice to these shit-bags [and] clowning on idiots".[5]
The series features guests such as Amouranth,[6] Liver King,[7] and Andrew Callaghan[8] as well as commentators such as Marxian economist Richard D. Wolff.[9]
