I moved about halfway across the country for work, but training got canceled this week do to weather. I'm currently living in a (very weird) airbnb in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do and would like some more podcasts to listen to. Currently I am a big fan of Trillbilly Worker's Party and I grudgingly listen to Chapo but a lot of their casual sexism is pretty off-putting.

    The Dollop - Lots of good eps about crazy shit in American history. Can have morning zoo energy sometimes, especially early episodes. But it's good for a mix of comedy and learning how fucked America is.

    Behind the Bastards - Lots of right-wing watch type content. Covers some of the same things The Dollop does but less comedy and more in-depth.

    It Can Happen Here - By the same guy who does Behind the Bastards. Came out a couple years ago and it's about how a second American civil war could happen. Now it's happening.

    Worst Year Ever - Originally meant to be about the 2020 election but now it's more about current events and some organizing advice.

    TrueAnon - You might not like it since they're close to Chapo's style of humor. But it's about Epstein and how a lot of American business and government is related to it.

    Economic Update with Richard Wolf - Standard Marxist theory but summarized and explain how it relates to today's world. By a Marxist professor of economics. Not a lot of eps and it's pretty short so you could finish by Monday.

    Knowledge Fight - A complete and utter (critical) study in Alex Jones and American conspiracy culture. You will learn more about AJ than you ever wanted to know, but see how it relates to what's becoming mainstream conspiracy culture. I wouldn't listen to this in the order episodes are released, I suggest listening to it by the order of the episodes of InfoWars they cover. In other words, start with the earliest Infowars dates rather than the Knowledge Fight episode dates. If you listen in this order, Alex Jones makes complete sense and you will be able to debunk his bullshit pretty easily.

    West Wing Thing - "Why Democrats are bad" the podcast but through the lens of criticizing The West Wing.
