i’ve tried reel politik a couple of times and find the hosts super-irritating :(
Less bothered about the hosts than the editor putting bits of EVERY SINGLE THING THEY REFERENCE in, makes it borderline unlistenable.

I'm not defending it, but I'm also not lining up to call an adjacent podcast indefensible

the little cum town i listened to i genuinely found parts of it completely hilarious but the surfeit of ethnic voices, stuff about "retarded people", calling adam gay, and a whole other variety of transgressive bullshit was just waaaay too much for me to handle
― khat person (jim in vancouver), Friday, 2 March 2018 17:32 (six years ago) link
surfeit of ethnic voices

Tbf, that’s the subreddit, where even fans on the DBHQ Discord refuse to go.

I lurk there because it's a decent link aggregator, I don't see that much discussion of the podcast at all much less the obsession Amber and Will assume.

oh it's there

mostly in the comments of the links to the episodes themselves
couldn't help noticing my sweet boy felix was locked out of the 'grownups talk politics' section of the latest episode again
mind you once they let him back in again he sure doubled down on obscure rappers and hideo kojima references

what Will says approx. 44 min into the latest episode about how private schools are more laid-back is completely wrong, everything they said prior to that about public schools putting insane amounts of pressure on very young kids and making them incredibly anxious absolutely happens in private schools. speaking from experience. all that stuff they said about kids in 3rd grade being warned about getting into AP classes and good colleges is everywhere in private schools. Assuming he went to a private school in Manhattan (like me), I'm surprised he had that take. I also went to a Quaker school for HS, and it was not 'laid-back' though obviously not the under-funded and militaristic environment of public schools.

i love my daughter's public school it's great

yeah that whole segment on parenting and uh steel manufacturing(??) saw them veer a little too far out of their lane. the actual interview with the striking teacher was great, though, and I almost spat out my coffee when he said that his preferred outcome would be "...a worker's republic?"

yea the interview was good

Friend of the pod and the closest thing there is to a dirtbag on staff at a mainstream paper Liz Bruenig finally throws down the "s" word, invoking both Andrew Sullivan and Mark Fisher in the process.

honestly a decent producer/editor would have cut that whole Farrakhan argument
― Simon H., Thursday, 8 March 2018 03:31 (six years ago) link
I haven't listened to the latest one yet, but sometimes they kind of flounder as it seems like they're all taking turns trying to stumble onto the *right* left take to have. I felt that way when they started talking about the Stoneman kids, like they couldn't really settle on a point to have about it but felt like they had to have some point about it.

ha, just came here to post pretty much exactly what simon did
cross comes across as a cranky asshole in pretty much every interview i've ever heard with him, i think that's just his deal
lol at him and felix arguing about louis farrakhan of all people tho
