Leftovers was an American leftist political podcast[1] hosted by Ethan Klein and Hasan Piker on the H3 Podcast. It focused on politics and internet culture.[2][3][4]

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".[5]

The series featured guests such as Amouranth,[6] Liver King,[7] and Andrew Callaghan[8] as well as commentators such as Marxian economist Richard D. Wolff.[9]

History[edit]

The series debuted on September 26, 2021, and was hosted on the H3 Podcast YouTube channel and other podcast platforms[10] The show was a successor to Kleins' previous podcast Frenemies,[11] which ended in July 2021. Tubefilter reported that the first episode reached 1 million views a day after being published.

Prior to the start of the podcast, Klein and Piker had collaborated before. In August 2020, Piker was featured as a guest on episode No. 207 of the H3 Podcast.[12] In July 2021, Klein and Piker joined to debate streamers XQc and Trainwreckstv on the ethics of promoting gambling to their audiences.[13][14] Piker stated that, after the debate with the streamers, he knew him and Klein would make a show together eventually.[4]

In October 2022,[15] episode 29 of the podcast (titled "Ethan Is Cancelled For Ben Shapiro Joke & Midterm Special Coverage – Leftovers #29")[16] was removed off YouTube when the channel received a week-long ban.[17][18][19] The episode is still available on podcast platforms.[16]

In October 2023, Klein and Piker hosted an episode about the Israel-Gaza conflict.[20][21] The podcast went on hiatus shortly after for an unknown amount of time.[22]

In November 2023, Klein confirmed in an episode of the H3 Podcast that the show would go on a permanent hiatus, though he did not rule out future collaborations with Piker.
