No Power Panel is a left-wing political podcast that takes on the biggest stories in Canadian and global politics each week. Hosted by Noam with rotating guest cohosts—activists, educators, and organizers—the show delivers unapologetic progressive analysis that challenges establishment narratives.
We cover everything from elections and leadership battles to labour struggles, climate justice, international solidarity, and the impact of technology on work and democracy. With sharp insight and historical context, the panel digs into the issues that shape our lives but rarely get honest coverage in mainstream media.
Each episode features in-depth discussions, special interviews, and our popular Winners & Losers of the Week segment—spotlighting those pushing for justice and calling out those standing in the way.
If you’re tired of corporate spin and watered-down politics, tune in for bold, grassroots perspectives and a vision for a more just future.
