Liam repeating NATO talking points. Guests saying drivel like “AMLO is liberal trump”
When will @wtypstan answer for the crimes of the podcast.

There's that and he just doesn't contribute much in terms of the group dynamic. Rocz is the engineering expert and narrator, Alice is the polymath theory nerd who brings jokes, the guest is the subject matter expert, and Liam is just... an arbitrary guy from Philly who is weirdly attached to both of his co-hosts. He derails most episodes multiple times and it isn't usually for any good reason.
If you subbed him out for a sandwich, would the quality of the podcast suffer?
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Probably wouldn't even notice for a couple episodes if he was.
So we have an engineer and a semi-lawyer, who else would you put on there as your dream replacement for Liam? Can't be too funny because Alice is already class clown so to speak.
They could still have a wild card guy like Brace in Trueanon, Jake in Qanon Anonymous, or Henry in Last Podcast on the Left. That wild card guy just can't be obnoxious or derail the podcast. Maybe get some radical urbanist or a political economy nerd in terms of contribution, or just a non-obnoxious normal schmuck who will yell the same radical things I want to yell. Someone like Adam Conover or the Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't guy would be the ideal. When Alice has historian Patrick Wyman on Trash Future he's also a good fit for their dynamic.
Yeah my first thought was a radical urbanist too. Brace being on wtyp would be like the avengers of left podcasts
You don't need a replacement. The sweet spot for number of people in a podcast is two hosts plus the guest. Three hosts is already too crowded unless one of the host rarely talks and is more like a side commentator than an actual host.
Depends on the sandwich
I'd take Liam over a PB&J, a Reuben might not be a bad replacement, I'd pay for a higher patreon tier for a BLT instead of Liam
