I've been listening to Chapo semi-consistently for several years. It's best if you approach it as a comedy podcast first, leftist podcast second.
Currently it's not doing great because the best Chapo ( ) is in recovery. But overall it has been an important part of the pipeline.
I think that Bernie and (to a lesser extent) Chapo helped normalize socialism to a lot of young working class people in USA. Chapo showed that it can be cool to do politics, it's not just for old white people. Also, they showed that regular ass people can be socialists, it's not just for 70 year old Marxist college professors.
