MODERATORS
they and the old sub were a gateway leftwards for a lot of people but people soured on them when they kept moving left but the pod didn't. personally, I've never been able to listen to a whole episode. it's just not my cup of tea.
A lot of people either forgot or didn’t realize in the first place that CTH was and still is an independent podcast primarily built on armchair media criticism. Nothing wrong with that in itself, but I saw a lot of people projecting onto it like it was supposed to be deeper or more activist than it was. The friction between the subreddit and the pod seemed to be a lot about how the armchair media criticism podcast run by unemployable Twitter posters wasn’t doing more for the cause.
I say the above with affection for all involved. I like the podcast, and I like the community that sprung up around it and has largely moved past it.
obnoxious laugh
extremely loud burp
