the only live show i've heard of theirs is the harvard bracket ep and i thought it was fine!

btw can someone fill me in on why they're called 'dry boys'

some kind of MRA joke i think

I'd assume it's an insult for non sex-havers

in the chapo canon it's cool to not have sex as long as one is doing so voluntarily

live podcast shows are fun to go to but not to listen to imo
yeah this seems right (having never done the former, can't imagine I ever actually would tbh)

dry boys don't just not have sex, they keep all of their seed to maintain their essence. i think it's some reddit nofap nonsense

my favorite use of the -cel thing is this brutal felix tweet from february:

In the Harvard one? I was quite surprised by there being even bigger outrage amongst the audience when the Kennedys were brought up.

Here's an interview they did in Boston with a reporter of the Harvard Crimson that the editors decided not to run.

Kid just starts asking them about Neoliberalism and Harvard's place in it, which seem like a good, localized way of drawing in people.

I've purged all of these guys and their fellow travelers from my life and Twitter feed and I'm much happier for it. More power to 'em but I just can't maintain that level of jaundice and make it through the day.

Ive only been listening for a couple weeks but this new ep is trash. Its neither funny nor interesting.

Or the Katie Halper Show

the harvard interview is p good, the Shining ep was bad (I did like the live Harvard ep though - much better / more novel gimmick)

in terms of less histrionic Chapo alternatives, Dead Pundits isn't bad, though I find the host a bit irritating. Their recent ep with Angela Nagle was really good and covered some different ground from her Chapo ep.

why would you want a less histrionic Chapo

new premium episode is great, classic drive by of douthat, brooks, and stephens
― flappy bird, Thursday, 4 May 2017 05:37 (six years ago) link
Halper good, as is Delete Your Account, but both are more serious bizniz politics than Chapo.

I'm trying to winnow my political podcasts down, so maybe I can unsub Chapo and just yell "fuck you" every now and then while listening to the Weeds for the same effect

new premium ep was their best in a while, also might include the first time they've ever seriously responded to criticism?

A left podcast I've been getting into recently is The Dig with Daniel Denvir. Most recent ep with media critic Adam Johnson is excellent as was the one with Mark Blyth.

It's definitely on the more serious and less dirty end of the dirtbag left.
god i hate that fucking name. it sounds like a festival tent for teenagers
― flappy bird, Thursday, 4 May 2017 15:22 (six years ago) link
The Dig?
I think it just sounds a bit generic. Could be many things.

no i was referring to "the dirtbag left." i don't mind silly podcast names, but silly names for political movements? nahhh. i don't think it's really accurate, either. how are they dirtbags? it's just lazy. oh well they came up with it.

felix sounds like a total dirtbag tbh

Def agree on the live episodes being excruciating as podcasts. The "most evil people from Harvard" episode was like a bad "intellectual" party game drawn out for way too long.
― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Friday, 5 May 2017 16:38 (six years ago) link
i thought the harvard episode was fine, the most recent one with the shining stuff was execrable in the main imo
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Friday, 5 May 2017 16:48 (six years ago) link
haven't listened to yesterday's episode yet but from description it's a series of reading series (lol) bits from times op-eds which is extremely my shit as far as chapo goes
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Friday, 5 May 2017 16:50 (six years ago) link
I've really been enjoying seeing a generation of people turn on the NYTimes opned page. It was practically holy in my house and I only started to question it in my 20s.

No. But I think the internet throws into sharper relief how arbitrary (in terms of talent, though not politically) who gets these lucrative op ed gigs.
― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Friday, 5 May 2017 17:38 (six years ago) link
i was almost glad that douthat did the pro le pen op-ed because i knew chapo were going to cover it
