I forgot about Vanderpod, but I mean in a more politics-oriented podcast.
The former Splinter people should start one. HamNo, Katherine and Libby Watson would be a good cast. (Except the obvious reason that 2/3 have real writing jobs.)

while i find true anon pretty obnoxious and don't listen to any of these podcasts (my gf listens to chapo so i catch some of it, she was into true anon for a little bit but stopped listening to it a while ago) i feel like it at least realizes that the splenetic and irreverent nature is the most appealing aspect of this kind of podcast. chapo eps often descend into an unsuccessful stand-up comedian playing wonk and an autodidact vulgar marxist ranting about late capitalism. whereas dunking on ross douthat is the core, the heart music
― frederik b. godt (jim in vancouver), Friday, 21 February 2020 18:35 (four years ago) link
I agree with that. Their hyper earnest recent campaigning eps, while heartwarming in the sense that it exposes them once again as being huge sentimental softies, aren't really what I'm after, esp as a non-American listener who can't vote in a primary

I wish the show was all media response, whether reading series or even the movie shows. Spoken-word Gawker is definitely their strongest suit.

āāChapo Trap House,ā the entire Dirtbag Left, have tapped that male privilege of intimidating people into assuming youāre cool,ā said Amanda Marcotte, a liberal feminist writer for Salon. āIt reminds me of when we pretended that āJackassā was funny back in the day, just so dudes wouldnāt bully you about not liking it.ā
Canāt say this paints their critics in a great light either, especially contrasted with the dude at their show selling plasma to live.

The constant evoking of āangerā and ārageā as somehow disqualifying a position is such a massive tell. Itās like seeing FB contacts I know post in ways to suggest they think being conflict-averse is somehow a political stance

i think the 'bernie bro' stuff is truer now than it was in 2015/6; the runaway popularity of chapo in the last 3 years has created this enormous long left-tail of unfunny young dudes trying out the mean style in replies but who aren't good at it

Hereās a question for the real headz: name off some of the best eps for converting a Chapo curious PMC (sorry) We listened to the Matt/Amber/Virgil ep about the UK election on a road trip and she liked that. Then dipped into one of the recent live ones and didnāt catch a lot of the inside riffs. Obv live=not usually the best intro to a pod, particularly one like CtHIām a frequent enjoyer of the show, but I canāt say which classic eps would best fit the bill.
