Customer Reviews
Dry but important
Let’s be real, IGD is often extremely dull or dry. But the analysis they present often has really good points that can really help the way I think about struggle, especially from a strategical perspective. I just have to work at listening and I think that’s ok.
More buzzwords than a terrible business seminar
My favorite is when they say stuff like 'It happened in so-called Oregon.' So-called indeed.
Must listen podcast
IGD covers a wide range of self-organized and autonomous movements. They call it like it is and don’t fall for the corporate funded ngo manufactured stories that get wide coverage on the left. This is the show we need and a model for others to follow.
