here's some more detail about the author of that NYT article and her rich family
Ok this is funny. @NellieBowles—the author of this scandalized NYT article about the supposedly fake leftists (they make money!) of @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE leading the youngs to a bad, violent revolution—is a member of the oldest oligarch family in California.https://t.co/A0yCxM3IbN— Yasha Levine (@yashalevine) February 29, 2020

no matter what you think of chapo it's pretty funny this is like the fourth time the writer of a hit piece on them has turned out to be a literal aristocrat.

Here’s a question for the real headz: name off some of the best eps for converting a Chapo curious PMC (sorry) We listened to the Matt/Amber/Virgil ep about the UK election on a road trip and she liked that. Then dipped into one of the recent live ones and didn’t catch a lot of the inside riffs. Obv live=not usually the best intro to a pod, particularly one like CtHI’m a frequent enjoyer of the show, but I can’t say which classic eps would best fit the bill.

I think the closest thing we have to a consensus among the most good faith interlocutors in this thread is that Bernie needs to Sister Souljah Chapo. That would be insanely lucrative for them and mainly meaningless to normal people.— 'Weird Alex' Pareene (@pareene) March 6, 2020

Will's simultaneously the most moderate politically and the most radical edgelord (since Felix got more earnest) but he can be a pretty decent host at keeping the show moving.
