For me it has to be the Berlin live episode and in top spot the live DnD episode, which I literally had to turn off after about 15 mins because it was too embarrassing. I can't imagine what being in the audience must have been like, lmao
(Obviously the true leftist answer is all of them)
For a similar vibe, Pod Damn America are 3 comedians who cover recent things, while often bringing up they know they're dumb, and more frequently than chapo have a guest on who knows what they're talking about. It's mostly riffing about current events and then pivoting to a deeper dive they do themselves or with guests. So kind of chapo-esque but less shit takes and some amount of effort to put out something funny and informative, though not like citations needed or blowback.
That sounds good! I'll add it to the list, thanks!
