This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


No other show can say that they risked hypoxic brain damage to dunk on Thomas Freidman.

Taibbi has been showing up as a guest a fair bit on The Michael Brooks Show which is nice.

TARFU was too beautiful to survive in this cursed world.

When they write the history of this era, the discussions around identity politics and the cynical weaponization thereof should devote an entire chapter to what happened to Taibbi.

No, it was centrist libs using it as an excuse to go after a popular journalist who often critiques them from the left.

I suppose I'm quibbling, but Idunno if "identity politics" makes sense as the framing for the issue there. But then, I don't even use that phrase anymore because almost all of the arguments over it seem to be people talking past each other over a phrase with no firm definition anymore.

Citations Needed still had to clarify the difference in their Patreon a year into producing the show.

Speaking of Chapo and Citations, I just got caught up w Citations Needed. I would really like to get into another informative podcast like this. My main podcasts are Chapo, Cum Town, Red Scare, Bodega Boys, and Citations Needed. I don’t mind humor/info but I really appreciate the balance of Citations Needed.

So, please recommend. It’s good praxis.

I recommend Better Off Red. It's a socialist podcast that interviews activists from various different things every week in addition to presenting an analysis of current events. In the informative-entertaining continuum it's definitely squarely in the "informative" bracket along with Citations Needed.

It’s a worthwhile quibble. We need better/more language because stuff like “wine mom feminism” gets at what folks are discussing but obvs will be alienating, and I’m tired of asking people if their version of intersectionality includes class as well.

I like The Michael Brooks Show. I've only heard a couple of episodes so far but the host is more polished than your typical podcasting knucklehead but is still laid back and funny. Richard Wolf was on recently as well as an unlocked "Postgame" episode, both are worth a listen.

Economic Update is what I always recommend to people who are getting into socialism, don't want to just read Das Kapital, and want a socialist perspective on current events. The host is Richard Wolff, and he also tackles some common pro-capitalist, anti-socialist canards like he did in his guest spot on Chapo #186.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hg3hdAUAPs


His monthly guest, Harriett Fraad, tackles capitalism's effects on family and relationships. She has a podcast of her own called Capitalism Hits Home.

the way he says listening to him talk about marxism is embarrassing at the end made me burst out laughing

Yea Wolff is good as hell, he's just a modern crank with a public access slot who really isn't bad at expressing his agenda but clearly has no interest in 'dressing it up' to make it more easily spread. I respect him not trying to do something out of his comfort zone and just focusing on education.

Also unlike 90% of those cranks he has a good and right message and not 'the post office workers are space aliens who want to brainwash us' or whatever

yea pretty much they realized fast actual weird Turkish nationalists were shockingly NOT catching the seven layers of irony in a group of western dudes saying 'death to the traitor Gulen' as a goof and they'd rather not have that be their actual online brand.

He has to enjoy it on some level. Even just comfortable familiarity. He's getting some kind of pleasure out of watching SNL beyond that monitoring society explanation he came up with.

I'll join Matt on that hill, despite me being 100% in the 'Mad TV was better' camp when SNL is good they do still make some good rear end jokes. It's just that their political jokes are so horribly unfunny and they clearly believe it's important to have a LOT of them to ~resist Trump~ it drags the whole show down.

But I watch fuckin WWE Raw still so my brain is broken and used to long periods of trash hoping for a glimmer of joy

Mad TV was absolutely terrible, but if the Chapo people are fans of Cumtown I can see why they would like it; that show is basically ripping off Will Sasso's podcast.
