my experience with the podcast was just

~2018 ish i decided to see if there were commies on reddit, having been one for over a decade
checked out the mainstream leftist subs
they were shit
they said that r/chapotraphouse was full of scumbags
i thought "that sounds like my people"
i hung around the sub for 6 months
then thought "oh, i should check out the podcast this sub is ostensibly about"
listened to an episode
it was shit
thought "oh, it might just be a bad episode"
asked for what the best episode was
listened to that one
"huh, these people are insufferable yanks, i'm not going to listen again"
and that's where i am now

also they make more in a month than i do in a year, so fuck 'em
