After a long day, I like coming home and playing video games while listening to funny leftist podcasts that don’t really take themselves too seriously. So basically the opposite of revleft radio, citations needed, cushvlogs, etc, as these are usually pretty serious and dense (with info) and require me to devote brain power.

I don’t really know that many podcasts so the only ones that I can really think of that go with what I’m talking about are like pod damn america and (sometimes) true anon. I think CTH and cumtown would also work but I’ve never really given them a chance because I’m not interested in listening to libs.

    CTH is like 90% chill, there's a reason it became the ad-hoc rallying point for the online left so you should give it a shot if you haven't already. I would suggest checking out any one of their best episodes (the Noid episode, any episode where they read Rod Dreher, the Sorkin reviews and the episode on conservative political cartoons jump to mind).

    Aside from that the only other podcast I've stuck with for a long time is :wtyp: . Their are a few episodes where they go full CIA brainworms about AES states that I don't like, but usually it's just a very slow recounting of some kind of engineering failure with a bunch of dry riffs from the hosts sprinkled in. They'll also make you really appreciate OSHA and wish it had the power to summarily execute repeat offenders.

      The CTH episode about fucking Mitt Romney’s mormon bussy on the metaverse is an instant classic

      That’s a good point, I’ll try to find the episodes you mentioned

      Alice did say they felt the Adam Something episode was a bit cringe on the latest one (to Liam's loud boos and no doubt Liam's commie dad dunking on him again)

      CTH is kinda like SNL: I can’t tell if they’ve fallen off or if it’s always been this bad. Matt seems less talkative and enthusiastic than he used to be, and Will insists on reading the dumbest, most boring articles he can find.
