Everytime I've checked the subreddit, other places of discussion like chapotraphouse podcast, etc... I am left confused.

What is this? Do I just not get it? What is the purpose of chapo? Why is the podcast entertaining to people?

Sorry if I sound like a dumbass but I genuinely want to know why people gather around the chapo name and listen to the chapo podcast.

    I think the subscriber count really blew up some time around when the pod started getting mainstream news attention:

    Edit: Pretty sure that was how I found the sub, back in the ~50k-subscriber days. That article was posted to LSC, and thus the liberalism to more different liberalism pipeline began in earnest.
