What do you think of recent podcasts?
Great? Good? So-so? Bad? Awful? Other?
I haven't listened to CTH in ~2 years. If all they do is shoot the shit - I have no interest. But they have Osita Nwanevu as a guest on today's show so I'm curious to have a listen if I get positive feedback in this thread.
812 - Sweeney Odd feat. Osita Nwanevu (3/5/24)
Contributing editor for the New Republic and columnist for The Guardian Osita Nwanevu returns to the show. We look at a new New Yorker piece on Joe Biden’s last campaign, and the president’s defiant refusal to change gears, adjust policies, or really do anything to address rather dismal polling ahead of the election.
Then, switching to the republicans, we look at the increasingly weird and anti-social tact of American conservatism and ask: can the modern right be assimilated into American culture?

Edit
I didn't realize Matt was still gone. I just assumed he came back already. Is there any hint at all when he'll come back?
Recent episodes I've heard have been fine, ones mostly about Palestine with relevant guests, like the Electronic Intifada guy, have been better but obviously a bit depressing. Matt can't be replaced, so until he's back I don't expect much.
Oh, shit. I didn't know he was still gone. My interest is already waning.
