Virgil snuck in a good unremarked-upon line in the tabletop ep: “I’ll be back in two gifs,” with a hard g.

Lmao: And what we moved onto was Bernie—our indefatigable, unwavering, incorruptible Bernie! And we very nearly won, despite despicable sabotage from the DNC.

Ya focusing on the dnc's ultimately rather trivial machinations too much absolves all the ordinary schmucks who figured hilary clinton wd be a good presidential candidate lol

Yeah I'm very much team Bernie as is known but also very much never bought into the "sabotage" narrative. It's not really shocking that an upstart didn't have the backing of party insiders. I think in teh US we don't even really have a good concept of what a political party is in most democracies -- the Democratic party is WAY more up for grabs than most parties.

every time i look at my podcast app and consider listening to chapo the newest episode description is too unappealing for me to bother. last 3 times I've looked it's been an episode discussing aquaman, christmas episode/one of their dumb radio play things, talking about this bernie article with amber.

the xmas ep surprised me by being actually funny but they need to stop doing those interminable "tabletop" eps

counterpoint: the latest tabletop two-parter was good not bad, actually, and i say that as someone who couldn’t sit through the previous ones

I'm definitely noticing a widespread creep lately in podcast length. Lots of folks bumping up against or even crossing the two-hour mark. personally I think one hour should be the cutoff. podcasts that exceed that almost always involve a whole lot of shambling, unfocused bullshit. I know the Chapo guys are doing something aesthetically different from him, but Chris Hayes' podcast never exceeds an hour and he digs in to some pretty cpmplicated shit (e.g. this week's episode on trade).

what's your podcast? i know i've seen you mention it on here before but I can't recall the name

try Dan Carlin

i don't like dan carlin because my BA is in history and i just object to half of the things he says
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:36 (five years ago) link
because it's for a layman's audience (or he is just lazy) and he simplifies to an absurd degree
heard an episode where he was talking about the frankfurt school and steam was coming out my ears

i like a long, rambling podcast because i almost always listen to them in the background or when i'm trying to fall asleep. Chapo & Red Scare are great for naps ime
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:53 (five years ago) link
ha ha I just meant that Carlin always drops 4 hour long podcasts
― We were never Breeting Borting (President Keyes), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:55 (five years ago) link
he's got the length but perhaps not the width

Dan Carlin is the worst

I’m finishing up an episode on the mechanics of conspiracy theory that’s just under two hours. I could chop it in half but my release schedule is already highly artitrary so I’m thinking of just posting it whole to let folks enjoy it for a while.

Have p much stopped any regular listening, should probably cancel the patreon at this point. Virgil is too earnest and wonky and makes it feel only a hair away from being just any old political podcast, and the other guys’ schtick feels a bit spent. Also hearing them act dumbfounded by Trump is not rendered more interesting by peppering it with Adam Curtis terms.

Wait, waht, why would the Baffler feel the need to retract what was a pretty boilerplate left wing op-ed?
