:yea:

I probably hadn't thought about that awful podcast in over a year. Went over to r/redscarepod out of curiosity, and this was there. I guess they've done a full reactionary heel turn, to literally no one's surprise.

Comments on this indicate it's real, and the commentators, as awful as fans of that podcast are, were dunking on her, too.

      She's from the extended Chapoverse. Part of the group of Brooklyn podcasters from the 2014-2018 cultural moment. Felix Biderman of Chapo was roommates with Nick Mullen of cumtown when both pods started. Nick later became roommates with Dasha and/or Ana Keychain while they had their podcast Red Scare. Dasha dated Adam Friedland, also of cumtown, concurrently with both pods. Dasha was also friends with Bryce Belden of TrueAnon, when he was briefly in New York. Bryce being a friend and an early guest of Chapo as well.

      Basically most of the dirtbag leftist podcasts are all one group of friends.

        Interesting. I was unaware of how intermingled the "dirtbag" left is/was. I don't particuarly listen to any of the other mentioned shows. I don't engage with the extended "Chapoverse", I mostly use the podcast as a means to keep a beat on the street with cultural/internet leftie/left-adjecent stuff. What you described sounds messy and weird. I like drama as much as the next guy but only really drama of people I actually know.

        Might as well mention Alex Ptak and Jamie Peck and Briahna Joy Gray while we're at it. Chapo launched a dozen leftist podcasts of note, including Pod Damn America, The Antifada, and Bad Faith.

      It's like Vaush. If you're not familiar with them it's really not worth digging into.

        That's one I hear about often but from the sounds of things it's better off that I don't know who this dude (I assume it's a dude) is.

        V* is at least relevant in the current day and age. Red Scare is a relic from the Bernie days.

          It was always "What if Leftists did Call Her Daddy Podcast".

          I'll never get why people were so hung up on them. They did nothing of consequence
