Where’d the name come from? (Oh, like the drug lord?)
Our community started off as a fan site for the popular political comedy podcast "Chapo Trap House." This podcast choose their name as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the drug kingpin "El Chapo" Guzman (because they thought it would be funny to name their clearly-not-gangster podcast like a rap group). Over time our community evolved to include a wider audience than just podcast fans, but the name stuck.
