Thought it would be a relatively simple thing to compile the weeks slop and seed it out. Any reason why it hasn't happened? I didn't think that patreon or stitcher would be more litigous than big media.

There was a lot of talk that podcasting was a medium that's escaped attention in the wake of jan 6th. Useful Idiots pod was kicked off Rolling Stone for their anti-imperialist left positions too, it seems like, and they had a little clout.

    That's wild, Matt's a known quantity there, surely firing him from a rather successful podcast and from writing in the magazine that most readily comes to mind when you think of him would draw more attention, not less. Fuckin' stupids. Is that why they changed theme songs?

      That's the thing, it got zero attention from what I saw. It should have been noticed but I didn't see any other media types making any noise about it. I don't know whether it was fear of legals or media omerta or what.

      Hadn't even noticed the theme change tbh.

        It was just on this most recent episode the one with Thomas Frank (I haven't gotten to him yet, though, only half through listening)
