People complaining about the audio probably also think the Bowie 'Raw Power' mix is better than Iggy's.

can't we at least have the 2012 rsd version of the iggy mix? is that too much to ask?

i'm sure it's grating to many but felix's gorilla mindset schtick always makes me laugh. and matt's genial young marxist professor style rants are always a highlight. i half listened to the most recent ep already and it probably wouldn't hold up to full attention but it had its moments.

i was talking to my only other friend that listens to this and we agreed that the guilty pleasure of it must be kinda like what my dad felt listening to limbaugh
like its obviously kinda lame/bad on a lot of levels, but there is something nice about hearing roasts of the enemy from ppl with something vaguely approximating my political views

my main beef w this pod is that Felix' used to be one of my fav dumb jokes twitters and now he is like, a funny version of Dr Morbius? 100% of the time? and also says angry earnest political things? half of weird twitter had the same political conversion and are determined to relive the '16 dem primary for all of eternity, and I see the success of chapo as perpetuating to ruining my twitter xp. i listened to the first few eps contemporaneously and they were p funny but it felt a bit too navel-gazing and also that listening to podcasts about twitter was not a welcome extension of my internet/twitter addiction. also, ideologically i'm way more aligned with the nebbish centre-left dorks they bully than like, Lee Fang or Adam Curtis (who, i mean, i like his docs but he's always verged on this mind-control meta-conspiracy i don't buy at all--the quote itt was nice, though) or whoever they have on the show, so there was a masochistic dimension to it

this thread is like those d-40 posts where he's like "Listen to how Durk says 'I'm a hitta' on the offbeat, but Derk says it on the on-beat and Dirk says it somewhere in between and tell me that Durk isn't realigning what pop music means for a generation and Derk isn't some lame drama school tryhard smh"

there's nothing really particularly noteworthy about this podcast imo but when a new yorker article gets written about some "brooklyn-based x" we definitely need to spend >200 posts arguing about whether x deserves the attention
― marcos, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 19:10 (seven years ago) link
omg ilx podcasting sounds hellish. i have no doubt though that we have numerous posters who could easily make a podcast equal in quality, style, knowledge + perspective to this one. actually depending on who you picked it would probably have more political diversity (and ilx is hardly a bastion of heterogenous thought).

i mean i don't find anything particularly objectionable about the podcast itself, it is a fun podcast and like i said similar to a bunch of poltical commentary i've heard on on college radio from undergrads but the effusive praise from like the av club and paste magazine is very suspect imo
― marcos, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 19:31 (seven years ago) link
okay maybe it is better than the stuff from undergrads

probably true, but the trick is bootstrapping your podcast into enough popularity that you generate word of mouth and accumulate an audience. quality, style, knowledge + perspective are not magic keys to such popularity. unlike field of dreams, we could build it, but would they come?

ok god willing this is my last post on this thread ever. i listened to the d'souza episode. they are terminally unfunny. they're constantly laughing at their own jokes which entirely amount to /references/. "better call saul." "better call saul alinsky!" ahahahahaha "episode title!" for all of u that enjoy them tho, as someone who often likes things that other ppl don't enjoy, i say go for it. but the problem for me at least is not narcissism of small differences. it's just unfunniness.

nah, i don't think it's relevant. the new yorker article was part of a p low-key web-only profile series, and it was written by a former Gawker writer (other profiles i've seen were also written by ppl who run in the same circles on twitter) so imo it's just writers in the same clique writing about each other at the earliest whiff of significance

This ain't going away anytime soon, but as you have plenty of people still slinging " Berniebro" as it were a valid descriptor or insult, I would posit not being people who voted for Sanders in the primaries being the cause.
Plus, as mentioned plenty of times on our board, there are a great many well-heeled stakeholders who ain't giving up control of the Democratic Party. Christ, the Third Way types just dumped $20M into the mix.
