I used to listen to The Deprogram but eventually I couldn't ignore their bad takes. I don't think there's any good non-tankie podcasts from what I've seen. If anyone has one please let me know as well.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Everyone has bad takes. Take the good from it and leave the bad. Like tankies or not, but they tend to know more theory then the average socialist. I listen to Vaush, he has some good takes, but he’s also pro NATO, which is no bueno for me.
I have yet to hear a single tankie who has even the most rudimentary understanding of theory. Vaush is good, I don't like some of his takes and he's a bit whiny on occasion but he's doing good work bringing people to the left.
Aww man, do I have a list for you.
- General audiobooks
- LibriVox Public domain book collection where you can find audiobooks from old communist, socialist, and anarchist authors.
- Anarchist audiobooks
- Socialist Audiobooks
- Communalism Audiobooks
I'm painfully aware that I'm necroposting, but I had to rise up out of the ether to thank you for this well curated list of sources.
Glad you benefited!
Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here are both pretty great.
On that note, Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, hosted by Margaret Killjoy, is a good counterbalance to Behind the Bastards.
