I know this site spawned from a podcast but that's the extent of my knowledge. I cannot be the only one.
I listened to like 6 or 7 minutes of one episode and didnt really like it so I never listened to it ever again
I don't know if this counts, but I only started listening to the podcast after finding the original CTH subreddit (which quickly became the only tolerable place on reddit from my perspective). Tangentially, the only reason I created a twitter account was to understand the myriad twitter references in both the subreddit and the show. I quit reddit after the purge, quit twitter after Musk bought it, but I do still keep up with the podcast for the most part. Very grateful that this place exists to continue the spirit of the original subreddit, which had long-since outgrown the podcast by the time it got banned.
Same. If I found this site now though, and checked out the podcast, I probably wouldn't listen to it for very long - it feels to me like something you had to "be there" for in the Trump admin era.
I found the sub because people from there would always come back me up against shitlibs on Reddit. I was a bit of a shitlib at the time myself but by God I was woke.
I've listened to Christmn and his side projects more than I have the parent podcast.
Nah I listen to pretty much every Chapo episode. It’s not my favorite podcast (that’s Worst of All Possible Worlds) but it’s pretty high on the list. I also just listen to a ton of podcasts though, it’s just one among many.
Listened to a few episodes at work once, but quickly moved onto listening to actual thinkers. Nothing against Chapo, just find current event podcasts to generally be lacking
I have never listened to the podcast. I might check it out at some point but I doubt its for me.
I never listened to a single second of Chapo or any other popular podcast or vlog that are usually mentioned here.
I heard one episode of TrueAnon when they had on Bevins and couldn't stand the cast and their jokes the entire time so I never listened again. I also don't like Sam Seder, he seems annoying and pretentious to me, so I don't like to watch any of his shows or clips that are posted here. His co-host seems cool but it seems like he doesn't let her speak much and has her there as an afterthought, looking cute.
But I listen to A People's History of Ideas Podcast, which I think is really great and I love it and I really recommend it! I've listened to a few episodes of Working Class History on the Italian Resistance and really enjoyed those too, plan on listening to other episodes at some point.
I'm cool with the more serious, history lecture-style podcasts but don't really like the dirtbag Leftist "everyone-is-a-comedian" ones or the News-styled ones.
All you need to know is a Greek God named Stavros personally gave birth to this site.
I exclusively listen to the only non-pedophile podcast on the internet.
I do not listen to any podcasts. I have tried dozens and they all suck for me. Yeah, it's just a bad format for morons rambling about stuff they don't know about. The closest content to listenable has been just pure comedy podcasts, and then only clips from those are tolerable imo.
I have not listened to the podcast even one time. I never will. Why would I listen to Chapo Poop House when I could listen to something like Rev Left.
I have no interest in banter podcasts or in forming parasocial relationships with media personalities, which are themselves long-running bits. Goddamn bits.
