Community dedicated to continuing the legacy of Michael Brooks (1983-2020), host of TMBS and co-host of Majority Report. We discuss politics, international relations, and communism.
Brooks was known for his mixture of political analysis with comedy. Bhaskar Sunkara said, "Michael wasn't afraid of controversy—he was happy to give an outlet to guests who criticized the Left's less productive pieties. But he wasn't a shock jock either. Michael could 'get away' with controversies because of how he mixed his comedy with earnestness." Sam Seder said, "I have worked with a lot of great broadcast hosts and some of the most talented comedians in the country, and what was unique about Michael was not just his intelligence and insight into politics, particularly foreign politics, but his ability to do genuinely brilliant political comedy."
