for anyone who's been wanting them to go in on republican sickos instead of centrist losers, this week is for you. (also contains what is to date their only convincing pitch for actually buying the book)

I gave them another shot recently because they had a couple of guests I already like (David Roth, Libby Watson) and I'm enjoying it a lot more than when I first tried it out in early 2017. you're probably right about the shift from bashing centrists to bashing the GOP. I can appreciate the former up to a point, but when it becomes your primary animating principle it's just pathetic and annoying. early 2017 was not really a time when I was super-enthused to listen to three dudes endlessly dunking on Hillary Clinton.

congrats to the Red Scare ladies on coming up with the single least appealing guest/topic combo possible (The Abortion Episode ft. Liz Bruening) for their latest premium ep

appreciated the one where they were talking about alexandria o-c's victory and how ridiculous it is that right-wing media has been representing her platform more honestly than the democrats

I do like the dynamic of their podcast but the increasing number of o_O takes (like the drive-by quip about burqas) is edging me towards unsubscribing

i recently bit the bullet and became a 'patreon', any like top 5 recommendations? i know so much of it is focused on very specific twitter fights and super specific news that's dated at this point so maybe something a bit more encompassing?

The Ross Douthat readings (I can't remember if they were subscriber only?) are real classics.

As much as you may not want to listen to "dated" eps, a lot of their election eps were very good imo, like the ones where they discussed their convention visits

the Rod Dreher ones are fun too. tbh the last few premium eps have been really strong; they've been on a bit of a roll lately.
I bit the bullet and listened to the Red Scare abortion episode - some of it was fair (I also bristled at the potential insensitivity Tim Faust's "Abortion is Rad" shirts) but I wished they'd pushed back more on Bruening's typically elusive non-answer on how "non-emergency" abortions would be handled.

Someone who's actually done coke will need to let me know if that's definitely not just kosher salt

it’s coke

Lines seem much bigger on TV, I assume if they were just using salt they’d be more extravagant.

succesful podcast hosting would be pretty much an absolute guarantee of drug addiction for me. "work" twice a week for like an hour, lots of disposable income. it's a recipe for disaster. which chapo member will end up at the betty ford clinic?

I would've said Amber but she hasn't been around much. Matt seems the most likely.
