Since they've proposed buying the book to own the cons over and over I don't think it's quite as irony drenched as you want to think.

ehh, some fascist sheriff will probably release a book the same week and stay at #1 the rest of the summer

Sure, if sales go astronomical, it’s possible the publisher and the show will make something back.
umm unless they took a monster advance, it will be pretty easy for both the publisher & the show to make something back on this.

Really kind of burnt out on these guys. I keep listening because i haven’t found my next fix but often don’t finish episodes. They served a much more important and cathartic function for me before Trump won.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 20 July 2018 00:53 (five years ago) link
I have been enjoying the show more since I stopped giving them money lol
I've tried out probably two dozen other lefty podcasts that have spawned in its wake and tbh none of them are as reliably entertaining to me. The closest is probably either Champagne Sharks or Struggle Session. (I will be listening to yours tho kingfish!) People who haven't ttried 'casting may not get that doing it well and consistently is actually not that easy!

I'm getting more into Street Fight lately. Finding it easier to connect with flyover dirtbag dads than NY media people.

Street Fight is great and the clear grandaddy for this whole phenomenon, I just can't keep up with their output!

I’ve been liking the recent Dig eps. I like hearing about strategy and policy and not just theory although that’s important too.

yet another ep where they talk over women way too much, first Will interrupting Karina Moreno with flat out wrong information (and Brendan at least interrupting her with someone informed thoughts), followed by Matt not shutting the fuck up with his unfunny generic english guy impression so we can hear Amber's account of what actually sounds like an interesting trip, at which point I just turned it off

i liked ashley feinberg on it a lot, but they really didn't sell her jokes
― the bhagwanadook (symsymsym), Friday, 20 July 2018 17:13 (five years ago) link
I feel like they constantly talk over each other in general and it stands out more with women because there are fewer of them, but tbh as a producer crosstalk quietly infuriates me so maybe I'm just not picking up on the gendered aspect amidst my generalized annoyance

yeah that's def part of it. It's also more generally annoying when Matt and Felix can't tone it down and let the conversation flow because they have to just keep interjecting with their schtick.

Felix has gotten better while Will and Matt have gotten worse about that.

They're gonna need an entire other book just to decompress from Ozyfest

We have a fascist president and they actually made the effort to be physically present for a Hillary appearance to get mad about it. Were any of the Chapo guys at the family separation protests last month? How about any of the fan boys here?

NP, go and browse the CTH subreddit if you like and search for "protest," "action," "demo," "occupy ICE," etc if you're curious about how politically active their fanbase is.

Their commentary on Hillary is about 1/10th of discussing the rest of the festival.
― louise ck (milo z), Monday, 23 July 2018 19:56 (five years ago) link
Maybe less - felt like five minutes in an 80 minute episode.
xp did you get lost on the way to the CTH fan reddit or something?
afaict the podcast is about perception of politics and the political media as much as anything, and covering a festival that's sponsored/owned by some of the same people that own The Atlantic and other political news media seems like an obvious move
― mh, Monday, 23 July 2018 19:57 (five years ago) link
sorry, xp to Nerdstrom there
Um, Chapo Trap House had an entire bonus ep on Occupy ICE. I can't speak to whether any of them attended a protest but it seems likely.
