The only reason I could see that is maybe it wouldn’t look good for Chen, a state official, to go onto a podcast that has dick jokes and stuff, which is unfortunate, Chen is quite funny
I like the Deprogram but are there any funny communist podcast that aren't so "bro-y"? It's hard to radicalize female friends that have trouble reading when the only podcasts I can find are dominated by men.
Yeah thats a problem, they have a couple of good episodes with ladies like Izdihar and LunaOi but definitely its very "bro-y" like you said.
Well that kind of feels unavoidable seeing as how it’s run by three men having fun. I don’t see how’s that’s a problem with it especially as it’s “good fun” bro-y, and not “misogyny” bro-y. Though a womens marxist podcast would be a great idea.
There’s never been a piece of media with 100% audience relatability.
Being bro-y isn't a problem if your intended audience is bros. It would just be nice to also have a funny communist podcast that is more accessible to women and queer people who are put off by bro humor.
Oh, I definitely agree with you, and I apologize if that came across as combative. I was trying to say that the angle that deprogram takes works for them, and trying to remold something existing would probably go poorly. But a queer or female podcast would be really nice! Can never have enough communist podcasts!
Though it guess it also is fair to mention that a large amount of the guests that are brought on are queer and/or female, and that the humor doesn’t really come across as bro-y or chauvinistic, but like 3 guys earnestly talking like friends.
