I listened to like 6 or 7 minutes of one episode and didnt really like it so I never listened to it ever again

I'm a regular listener of the site's official podcast

I don't know if this counts, but I only started listening to the podcast after finding the original CTH subreddit (which quickly became the only tolerable place on reddit from my perspective). Tangentially, the only reason I created a twitter account was to understand the myriad twitter references in both the subreddit and the show. I quit reddit after the purge, quit twitter after Musk bought it, but I do still keep up with the podcast for the most part. Very grateful that this place exists to continue the spirit of the original subreddit, which had long-since outgrown the podcast by the time it got banned.

I found the sub because people from there would always come back me up against shitlibs on Reddit. I was a bit of a shitlib at the time myself but by God I was woke.

I've listened to Christmn and his side projects more than I have the parent podcast.

Nah I listen to pretty much every Chapo episode. It’s not my favorite podcast (that’s Worst of All Possible Worlds) but it’s pretty high on the list. I also just listen to a ton of podcasts though, it’s just one among many.

Listened to a few episodes at work once, but quickly moved onto listening to actual thinkers. Nothing against Chapo, just find current event podcasts to generally be lacking

Felix is a vindication of type A personalities. And he is the archtype person of a few people I knew: his demeanor, speech, and vocabulary gave me a negative example - what I should strive not to be - in terms of motivation.

Whole podcast was at its peak pre Biden and COVID, so if you aren't interested now, then don't bother with it.

I never listened to a single second of Chapo or any other popular podcast or vlog that are usually mentioned here.

I heard one episode of TrueAnon when they had on Bevins and couldn't stand the cast and their jokes the entire time so I never listened again. I also don't like Sam Seder, he seems annoying and pretentious to me, so I don't like to watch any of his shows or clips that are posted here. His co-host seems cool but it seems like he doesn't let her speak much and has her there as an afterthought, looking cute.

But I listen to A People's History of Ideas Podcast, which I think is really great and I love it and I really recommend it! I've listened to a few episodes of Working Class History on the Italian Resistance and really enjoyed those too, plan on listening to other episodes at some point.

I'm cool with the more serious, history lecture-style podcasts but don't really like the dirtbag Leftist "everyone-is-a-comedian" ones or the News-styled ones.

I do not listen to any podcasts. I have tried dozens and they all suck for me. Yeah, it's just a bad format for morons rambling about stuff they don't know about. The closest content to listenable has been just pure comedy podcasts, and then only clips from those are tolerable imo.

I have never listened to the podcast. I might check it out at some point but I doubt its for me.

All you need to know is a Greek God named Stavros personally gave birth to this site.

I exclusively listen to the only non-pedophile podcast on the internet.

I have no interest in banter podcasts or in forming parasocial relationships with media personalities, which are themselves long-running bits. Goddamn bits.

I have not listened to the podcast even one time. I never will. Why would I listen to Chapo Poop House when I could listen to something like Rev Left.

what's a podcast?

Never really listened to it, but an acquaintance was really into it. I've seen some clips and such. I'm not much of a pod person though.

I listen every now and again, but I am honestly sick to my backteeth of U.S. politics at the mo' so I've been sticking to strictly comedy stuff

never listened to it but i know what it is, cos i was on the original subreddit

I am not interested in this kind of podcast, and I can not understand any of the host very well. Speak too fast.

I've been listening to Chapo semi-consistently for several years. It's best if you approach it as a comedy podcast first, leftist podcast second.

Currently it's not doing great because the best Chapo ( ) is in recovery. But overall it has been an important part of the pipeline.

I think that Bernie and (to a lesser extent) Chapo helped normalize socialism to a lot of young working class people in USA. Chapo showed that it can be cool to do politics, it's not just for old white people. Also, they showed that regular ass people can be socialists, it's not just for 70 year old Marxist college professors.

I know of CTH but I have never listened to one second of it. Closest I've come is Bad Faith when I was still a

I listen to like a chapo episode a quarter, but I listened to every cushvlog even after they started getting proper weird

Is the trap house what Chapo uses to catch hexbears?

Love me some chapo

Yeah, I only found out about the podcast like a month after making an account here! Listened to a few episodes and it didn't really get it because it's a bit too America centric 🤷 Like whenever they talk about US Senators or politicians, I have no idea who those people are.

That recent Jewish Tunnel episode was absolutely amazing tho! I even tried to get my husband to listen to it, cause his Jewish mom gets up to exactly the same kinds of hijinks and schemes.

I used to listen to it quite a bit, but it's a much smaller cast these days and doesn't have the same vibe, frankly. Still tune in occasionally

there's some bits that'll get sawn off the episodes and uploaded to youtube that i've thought were really good, like that rant about squibs, i'll admit they can be funny but i don't think they're very insightful about anything serious

Yeah, I listened to the podcast for awhile. Until the pandemic, Americans made it their mission to inflict their shitty electoral politics on you no matter how unrelated the space. You know how many times I got accused of voting one way or another when all I wanted to do was talk about books and TV shows?

Perversely, being tortured by it made me interested in what was going on. The podcast was sort of my way of working out what the fuck their problem was. It was easily the least insufferable American politics show I came across, and had the added benefit of making the same people screaming at me very mad.

It fell off by the second election. They started seeming less counter-cultural and more genuinely invested in the election. Fortunately, after the election Americans finally stopped screaming at me about their politics and I eventually dropped it.

That was me at first.

Never listened to the podcast but I’ve heard the hosts as guests on other things and picked up enough from context clues here that I may as well have listened to it.

listen to chapo

I like the podcast but sometimes when it's hyper specific I'll skip it like anything about new york

Never listened to an episode; I actually avoided the sub at first way back when it first showed up as a suggestion because I didn't listen to the podcast and thought the sub would suck.

omg me :)

It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me.
