Leftovers (podcast)

Leftovers was an American leftist political podcast hosted by Ethan Klein and Hasan Piker on the H3 Podcast. It focused on politics and internet culture.

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".

The series featured guests such as Amouranth, Liver King, and Andrew Callaghan as well as commentators such as Marxian economist Richard D. Wolff.
