Will and Matt Bruenig are surprisingly sober and fair minded on this ep

you could hear Will's physical pain at possibly having to give the dems credit for something

the Limbaugh death roast was their best segment in ages

felix isn't gaming...no amber....the guest talks sometimes...no cringe takes....this is the stuff

I had decided to quit listening to every episode and then bitching about it in this thread, but this was a really great episode, felt like they were engaged

"the future is quite literally just one end of the political spectrum taking turns owning the other while everything burns, until we've had enough" has also been the feeling I've plucked out of the air recently

Matt's pessimism agrees with my feelings generally but I also worry about him popping a blood vessel in his brain.

it doesn't even feel like pessimism to me anymore tbh

dropped in on true anon this week because the topic (purdue/mckinsey) interested me, was not expecting brace to seriously discuss his own experiences in detail with a minimum of wisecracks

Yeah it was kind of good to hear Brace be earnest about something

Time For My Stories is Matt and my look at American collapse through, in our opinion, our 20 most important TV dramas. from Gunsmoke to This Is Us. first episode will release at midnight on Stitcher premium

Don’t know if this is a bit but lol if $120k a month in Patreon isn’t enough so they had to do a Stitcher Premium spinoff.

looking forward to listening (via the black wolf subreddit)

I really appreciated their takedown of r/childfree. The idea that you can have a left politics centered on anti-humanism/antinatalism is disgusting to me.

Get to pirating

ok I have successfully waged war and defeated my brain damage and 30 concurrent learning disabilities to make our first episode visible on our Stitcher page https://t.co/28DOxN49j0

So, in advance of our 500th ep I put out a listener poll asking people to vote on their all-time favorite eps. Excited to now share the results: pic.twitter.com/fzS8fOuWTj

pisspig ep too low tbh

the best ones are nearly all in the first couple hundo tbh

For topic coverage maybe, but I so hated how bad Matt’s mic would sound back then. Like none of these guys had the proficiency of your basic college DJ or dive bar sound guy just to record a basic voice

The tables have turned in the new series. Matt sounds fine, Felix sounds like he set a phone on a table across a bare room.

I mean a Blue Yeti is cheap and all you have to do is plug it in the the usb port

Yeah, and they couldn’t even do that regularly

It’s usually Felix, but in episode 500 it was Amber who couldn’t be bothered to speak into the microphone.

Their terrible sound obscures the thing I hate most about podcasts - noise suppression when someone isn’t speaking. I find it very distracting to hear a slight hiss when someone is talking that drops out when they aren’t, it makes the noise more obvious.

yeah personally I try not to mix out *all* the noise for that reason (and cause you risk producing other weird artifacts)

is Virgil just gone now? Was surprised he wasn't on the 500th episode (or maybe he is later but not so far)

Busy with his Settling Primary Scores podcast.

doing fine without his ultraleft stats wonk act tbh

amber and virgil are bad

Peter Daou X Frankie Knuckles

HOUSE REMIX THREAD

Hi friends - in the 90s I was a keyboardist & producer on numerous house tracks and remixes.

I wanted to share a few favorites I worked on.

First, here's a Diana Ross remix with Frankie Knuckles.

yas!

that's pretty cool

Peter drifting away from his enthusiastic dogmatic political phase seems good for him

Don’t know if this is a bit but lol if $120k a month in Patreon isn’t enough so they had to do a Stitcher Premium spinoff.

FWIW, Matt admitted on his latest Death is Around the Corner appearance that he felt weird about doing a Stitcher show, but the thinking was it might be a good way to get more people to check out Blowback, which I gather they're hoping will get to keep going beyond its forthcoming second season.

Hey man you know they're like athletes -- short, injury-prone careers, gotta maximize while you can

tbc i am not advocating actually paying to hear matt and felix talk about Gunsmoke

https://reddit.com/r/TimeForMyStories

Better than Sons of Anarchy but no one should pay money for this.

The radio show or the TV show?

Blowback was good as hell

This Louise Linton movie sounds dire and also completely watchable on Netflix after a strong edible.

Scratch that, just watched a trailer and they did not convey how ugly it is.

I think "Mnuchinian" is a good descriptor.

the ALAB episode about the racism baked into civil tort law is nuts

Chris and Molly's music podcast is doing a run of Our Band Could Be Your Life episodes, Street Fight Bryan is doing Minor Threat and I am eager to hear them interpreted through the lens of a nu-metal superfan.

I notice it's been pretty much wall to wall movie episodes on chapo for a while. guess they like the stimulus package!

"me you madness" is outstanding tbh

QAA is doing a great job cataloging America's seemingly endless supply of scammers and rubes. really glad they've mostly stopped doing the cringey scripted skit stuff they used to

Travis View from QAA turned up in the HBO QAnon documentary tonight. And fully agree about the scripted stuff.

The TrueAnon episode about Haiti was fully infuriating if anyone needs that.

Amber’s book has a release date. There are going to be so many hot takes.
