Just saw Hasan and Felix (from Chapo) talk about how there's been a revamp?
I listened to it a long time ago and didn't really like it.
BTW, is this the (old, but ig also new) trinity of left podcasts - Chapo, True Anon, Cumtown?
Any others?
Edit - From the Wikipedia article on the Dirtbag Left, it seems the Starter Pack would also include Street Fight Radio and Red Scare.
It's not?
It's primarily a comedy podcast, where the comedy essentially consists of getting as close to saying racial slurs as possible without actually saying them. The hosts are vaguely left adjacent because they're friends with the Chapo peeps in some capacity, but mostly they don't really take any political stances/seem to have much in way of political interests/values.
I won’t stand for these lies, sometimes they actually do say the slurs
Thought you were gonna point out that Nick was the head of his DSA chapter
Hmm, so of the five, I guess the three worth listening to are Chapo, True Anon, and Street Fight Radio?
I used to listen to a lot of The Antifada, you could check them out too. I fell out of podcats a while ago so I dunno if they've changed very much since then but they were always pretty good. One of their hosts, Sean KB, did the History is a Weapon series with :matt-jokerfied:
Is "History is a Weapon" like Blowback?
It was a fairly popular collab between the two pods that kind of established Matt as the "dirtbag left" expert on history. Here's the first ep and a bunch of the other ones are on The Antifada's Youtube and probably elsewhere.
I guess that depends on what you're trying to get out of the podcast. I enjoy those pods personally, and believe that they are personally invested in the project of socialism.
Do you also listen to Cum Town and Red Scare?
I listened to Cumtown prior to Stav leaving - but like, because I enjoy their humor, not because there was necessarily anything of substance to be taken away from the pod. I don't know what it's like sans Stav, I have to imagine that it sucks, but I might be wrong. Red Scare has never had any value in any capacity to me, subjectively I don't understand who could possibly enjoy that pod.
Gotcha, thanks.
:party-sicko:
Just listen to Rev. Left and their associated podcasts bro
What’re the associated pods?
Red Menace and Guerilla History
It's just a comedy podcast, they make fun of everybody. The hosts happen to be friends with a lot of online leftist media people, but I wouldn't call it a "leftist" podcast, even if they often make jokes from a left POV. Their main focus is just humor.
