I just got a month to listen to Blowback, and looked around at some of the other stuff. Like half of it if Steven Pinker/Malcolm Gladwell/Sorkin garbage. There are a bunch of garbage like this on there just doing sinophobia and anti-communism.

Glad Blowback made it on, it's the one light in a sea of terrible liberal garbage.

    Capitalists have no interest in criticizing capitalism, stick to the open podcast rss-net, all these new podcast "platform plays" want to do to podcasts what facebook did to the internet.

      It's a subscription service for podcasts. I fucking hate it. Tons of people moved their shows to it and that meant the public archives are gone. So now you have to use the stitcher app to listen or find a pirate feed.

      The recommendation algorithm is insane too. It's like 90% true crime and West Wing fan pods. You have to dig for the good stuff.

          How Did This Get Made? Is good and they took down their old archives so you can only stream their episodes on stitcher. Unspooled is good too.

    Blowback is on Spotify. Why would you listen to it on Stitcher? It's also on r/blackwolffeed

          5, they only have 3 on Spotify. 2 and 3 are Stitcher only. That's why they did the free month, because they knew their audience would want to listen and only having 2 eps on there makes it listenable in a month lol

    Stitcher as an app is good for podcast listening. I've never bothered with premium Stitcher, though.

      If you aren't using it for premium, if recommend Antenna Pod. It's open source and has time of good automation features (as well as gpodder integration so you can sync up over different devices)

        I'll take a look! Right now I've got 3 different podcast apps because of stupid exclusives.
