for me, an episode or two after bernie lost when it was clear that anything interesting they had say from that point onward would be from someone else's tweet verbatim
Same. I cancelled my Patreon and haven’t listened to the pod. I do listen to the Cushbomb streams religiously. It seems like he’s the only one that has really put time and effort into exploring what the bernie loss means for the left and his own analysis. Obviously we all need to be taking some kind of journey after that, and it’s good to see one of our big thinkers doing so.
I listen every week still. It's fine. Some good eps every once in a while but mostly just something I listen to while cleaning my apartment and stuff.
I too prefer the cushvlogs. Glad to hear other people do too. Some guy on the discord did the lefty so cool bit to me when I brought them up and said "imagine listening to Matt's shitty streams" or something.
cancelled my patreon and prefer the cushvlogs, but I catch up on the podcast episodes every couple weeks. if an episode doesn't have either Matt or Felix I generally skip it (or Virgil, but he's not on so much and I haven't bothered with Bad Faith)
Yesterday. I get its epic to dunk on the pod everyday but I still enjoy it. Although, Matt's CushVlogs are superior imo.
I still listen but haven't really enjoyed it since the infamous Will and Amber shitting on police abolition episode. The cushvlogs are good sometimes but I dislike the "i'm a genius guru" personality thing Matt has going on... especially when Chris has to basically tie his shoes for him. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that Chris is the only good chapo.
Edit: Felix is ok too I guess I got no probs with felix.
Literally a few hours ago, they had Tim Robbins on which was cool.
It sucks now. They just occasionally dunk on Biden and watch bad movies from 2006. They really got demoralized
I am listening right now. The pod was always good and will be fully worth listening to while.you fold luandry forever. You are all revisionists.
The last time I listened to chapo was this morning. Cushvlogs are the GOAT, but chapo is still hilarious. I'm hooting and hollering pretty much the whole time.
I listen to it on the reg. The Matt Taibbi episode was a low point, but overall it's still enjoyable. It's just politically amenable entertainment. I don't need perfect takes all the time
