Rest In Power, Michael Brooks.
Liam repeating NATO talking points. Guests saying drivel like “AMLO is liberal trump”
When will @wtypstan answer for the crimes of the podcast.
my politics evolved while listening to WTYP backlog (i started when they were at like episode 50) and by the time i caught up i was thoroughly disgusted at how much it declined and how surface level their communist ideals are. particularly alice. holy fuck. at least Liam doesn't pretend to be this all-knowing political wunderkind
They're fine, a bit lib but they're fucking podcasters so what do you expect. Even fucking Hakim has lib takes on occasion. Aside from the fucking Adam Something episode I've not heard anything I've not heard from a paid up card carrying org member when they're on a roll of bad takes.
I think we do sometimes have to remember that when you're extremely online in a public way, every bad take is gonna be used against you, forever. Even the ones you forget. I shudder to think of what it would be like if every bad take I've ever had on Hexbear was dredged up every time I posted.
Liam's dad tweeting at him that the podcast's definition of Communism could have come directly from the CIA was amazing
Liam's dad is the best host
Podcasts should be launched into the fucking sun.
Some of them are okay, even if most of them are bad and honestly have a negative impact on society
I used to have a list of about 20-25 i listened to regularly. Damn near every one of them political.
Im down to three now and the three i listen to are hosted by people i would consider politically left, but they make no mention of politics. Just jokes. Im so fucking burnt out on podcasts as a whole. I cut all my patreon subs, I even quit listening to our favoritest large adult son, Cushbomb. Im just over podcasts. Period.
I think Chapo is alright, but most of the time, like you, I'm listening to comedy podcasts hosted by nominal socialists (specifically Episode 1 and Podcast About List). What are yours?
Engineers are usually iffy when it comes to anything that isn't directly tied to their area of focus
Rocz is the only engineer on the podcast though. And frankly, his takes are usually the least iffy of the 3. Though come to think of it, that's probably because he usually just sticks to the engineering side of things
The guests they invite though are frequently worse than Liam, in my opinion
