Especially if you get like a good Matt and felix episode, maybe a good guest. It's nice slop
The Deprogram
Not funny or light but Ghost Stories for the end of the World
There's no such thing as a fish is pretty funny. It's just goofy little known facts being discussed by some pretty funny people.
Kill James Bond is pretty good, they covered all the Bond movies and have now moved other spy and spy-adjacent films
QAnon Anonymous is great for deep dives into various weird cults and conspiracy theorists
Radio War Nerd has a ton of great history content (but it might not entirely fit in with the "funny and light" part). The various series with guest Annibale are some of my favorites - there's the Italian Years of Lead, the Hundred Years War, the Italian Wars, tons of cool stuff. There's also the Carl Zha guest episodes about Chinese history.
not really funny but light enough for workouts: The Age of Napoleon is great if you're interested in the Napoleonic era
We Hate Movies is one of my favorites
Just four fat New York guys making fun of movies
When I was listening Will certainly seemed pointless until I listened to a Will-less episode and then I understood that he was the most necessary member of Chapo
Also Sean KB from the Antifada was a professor too for a little bit
Without Will it's two guys who are bad at social cues riffing, sometimes poorly, and failing to introduce guests and topics with any sort of respect. Nothing wrong with social glue
I have been part of the subreddit for years and never once listened to a second of Chapo :gigachad:
I got banned from the sub for a week because I said something similar, and the mod mesaage just said "go listen to the show"
Left a bad taste in my mouth
I need slop for my workday I can't just cut podcasts out of the rotation because some of the episodes suck
Plus it has one of the easiest to pirate bonus feeds alongside trueanon.
Biggest pet peeve is looking through my "new episodes" and just seeing Trailer, preview, preview, teaser, trailer and having no slop
Looks like she's already brainstorming the plot for her next book, about a woman who's cyberbullied for writing a book about a woman who's cyberbullied for listening to chapo. It will be released in 2028, with 2500 pages.
Deprogram has replaced Chapo for me tbh, not that I wouldn’t still tune in every once in a while
Normies love chapo. Piss of internet leftists with this one weird trick :virgil-sad:
