I know multiple people that listen to it, I'm not personally interested but I want to understand what they're absorbing from it.

I know it's by Robert (Fed) Evans, but is much of an obvious fed influence?

EDIT: I just read a bunch of recent episode titles and based on the topics it's not obviously drenched in anti-communism so that's good.

    Setting the politics aside Robert's banter and many of the guests are incredibly grating to say nothing of the glimpses into bleak hellscapes that are the ads for different iHeartRadio pods you get on adbreaks

    All the pods I listen to are Patreon-supported so I don't generally interact with ad-supported corporate podcasting, and by god the pods that get plugged sound fucking awful

    I also remember all the iHeartRadio Cuba Libre call to action segments that got aired during the attempted colour revolution a couple of years back :data-laughing: I'm sure Robert was fully onboard with the message

    Anyway, the info presented can be interesting depending on the topic, but it's always offered with a side of shit in the form of bad jokes (GUYS RAYTHEON KNIFE MISSILE LOL), clueless annoying guests and shitty ads

      :screm-a:

      Each new one astounds me more. Who greenlit that show, who told that person they have a voice for radio, who woke up that day and thought we need another podcast where two crackers named Stevemike review video games?

        For me it's all the true crime pods and the "Join us as we interview successful rich people to hear their Stories and inspire you to Achieve Greatness" type pods
