 Mao Zedong, 'Combat Liberalism', 1937 posted:Liberalism is a manifestation of opportunism and conflicts fundamentally with Marxism. It is negative and objectively has the effect of helping the enemy; that is why the enemy welcomes its preservation in our midst. Such being its nature, there should be no place for it in the ranks of the revolution. at a time when Liberalis americanum somehow manages to threaten the existence of the entire human race through its own negligence and lack of conviction while also suffering its death throes and relinquishing all legitimate claim to power Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, 'Two Utopias', 1912 posted:Hence the striking, incredible weakness of the liberals in politics, their absolute impotence. Hence the endless series of equivocations, falsehoods, hypocrisies and cowardly evasions in the entire policy of the liberals, who have to play at democracy to win the support of the masses but at the same time are deeply anti-democratic, deeply hostile to the movement of the masses... in an era when four media conglomerates control 90% of every piece of entertainment an average person is likely to consume in their lifetime Antonio Gramsci, 'Newspapers and the Workers', 1916 posted:And so every day this same worker is able to personally see that the bourgeois newspapers tell even the simplest of facts in a way that favors the bourgeois class and damns the working class and its politics. it's time to take a baseball bat to the knees of a seminal piece of political media, one that defines SUCCin' and has shaped the perspective of an entire generation of comfortably milquetoast ~*CENTRIST*~ coastal elitists: THE WEST WING myself and fellow goon WampaLord are almost certianly not the right people to do this, but nobody else has jumped on this fuckin grenade so you know what maybe give us a listen and then post post post here making fun of our verbal tics and our lack of command of socialist theory. Spitting Image of Personalities Embodied on Title Card Image courtesy of Tiler Kiwi's bored fingats:   You do NOT need to have seen the West Wing to listen and enjoy our melodoisu General American baritones.  Episode 0 - Introduction can be skipped if you don't have need of  describing the show's basic premise, characters, and place in American cultural history! That's right! Don't listen!Episode 1 - "Pilot" is where we actually talk about things that Happen, In the show!   Episode 2 - "Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc" oh no, my fallacies! ego detinentus sum??? THERE ARE MORE EPISODES ON THE SOUNDCLOUD PAGE Interstitial Spectacular! AOC And The Language of Compromise is another take on the leftysphere's darling representative from Queens/Bronx.  code:is our RSS feed, and I've added both published tracks to it, plus enabled further tracks to be automagically listed there. Thanks to certain interested goons, the feed should also be sequenced into iTunes and Pocketcasts as of today.  if you have good ideas and want to share them go ahead, we clearly are dumb as poo poo. we'd like to eventually incorporate guest commentary on future episodes which we will try to release once per week or something if you have bad ideas sucj a dick!! but POST THEM TOO

Hi, I'm the other goon who worked on this. I said Mandy drives in from the set of The Beverly Hillbillies when I obviously meant the Dukes of Hazzard. So, you know, mentally replace that when you get to that part in episode 1.

this is pretty good and im legit surprised how listenable it is. the sound is decent and the pacing is good. how much planning/scripting did you do for the first episode? are you going to do one west wing ep per podcast ep? i feel like that might get dull after a while. maybe it would be better to do two eps at a time unless an ep is particularly  ?

If it's a two-parter episode, we might cover it all with one podcast.

Captain Billy Pissboy posted:this is pretty good and im legit surprised how listenable it is. the sound is decent and the pacing is good. how much planning/scripting did you do for the first episode? thank you for the feedback we've given a lot of thought to the pacing / length and involvement we want to commit to the episodic structure. long story short still working that out I agree that there's a risk that it becomes dull if we're yammering for 30+ minutes about every single episode of the show, but it's very forgiving to follow an episode-by-episode format. For the time being, we'll look at episodes individually because there's actually discrete, nicely packaged issues in each to take a look at. if people enjoy and we find that the pacing lags / we end up talking about the same god drat thing every time, I'm totally up to change things around. as the show becomes more narrative in later seasons (particularly once Sorkin is gone!) it will definitely be easier to parse it out into arcs versus episodes. ALSO if we're still going several espidoes down the road, we're gonna do more creative segments and have guests! GUESTS

I started watching West Wing last year and it's like a tragic comedy with none of the characters being in on the joke

Ramrod Hotshot posted:Do I have to have seen the west wing to enjoy this?

However we'll try to include enough context to ground the discussion, at least in a vacuum. obviously it will be more trenchant if you'vew atched the show.
