Oh don't get me wrong, i listen to podcasts, just not those ones
i don't think not listening to them is a barrier to understanding the humour amd culture here, so i don't feel obliged to go back and trudge through
I had to give CTH the side eye a few times but gave up entirely after their white fragility episode. There's a lot to criticize about Robin DiAngelo but none of that was brought up and it all turned into a case study of "mentioning white fragility will expose white fragility."
Their book readings and Call of Cthulhu campaign were still pretty good tho.
True Anon feels very bloodless and sad now. They really feel scary-kooky.
I liked a lot of the original Epstein episodes. I feel like the golden age was until the 9/11 episodes where they did a last great hurray. And the Finkelstein interviews.
I tried watching it, it’s just so depressing and melancholy. They really decided to ditch the funny fat guy, act like they’re on oxy the entire time, and name the show after the unfunniest member of the trio.
That was the joke. The problem is that the show hasn't done much since that initial joke.
Although some of the interviews are pretty good, especially the Chris Cuomo one, surprisingly. Also their skits were consistently great; haven't gotten one of those in awhile though
The norm interview was wild, I don’t think I’ve seen him genuinely laugh before
