The Dig is a leading left-wing intellectual podcast from Jacobin Magazine, featuring lengthy, in-depth interviews with academics, journalists, and organizers on politics and history. In a 2023 article,The Nation suggested that The Dig may be "the most important podcast on the Left".[1]
The podcast is hosted by organizer, journalist, and author Daniel Denvir, who created the show in 2015 with help from producer, Alex Lewis, and senior advisor, Thea Riofrancos. Jacobin soon picked up the show and continues to post all episodes on it's podcast feed and publish transcriptions of Dan's conversations in it's digital magazine.[2][3][4]
Denvir is the author of All-American Nativism (Verso Books), former staff writer at Salon and the Philadelphia City Paper, former writer in residence at The Appeal, and former contributing writer at The Atlantic’s CityLab.[5] In 2020, Denvir founded Reclaim RI, a volunteer-based progressive organization fighting for social and economic justice in Rhode Island.[6] In the 2024 presidential election, he served as a Rhode Island delegate for the uncommitted movement.
Past guests of The Dig have included Naomi Klein, Mike Davis, Wendy Brown, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Greg Grandin, Keeanga Yamahtta-Taylor, and Robin DG Kelley.[7] Common topics include the labor movement, US foreign policy and imperialism, immigration, Marxism, climate change, European politics, and more. In 2024, The Dig produced Thawra, a mini-series with author and scholar Abdel Razzaq Takriti on 20th century Arab radicalism.
The Dig’s operations are financially underwritten by over 3,700 members, collectively contributing over $16,000/month via Patreon.[8]
