That's a paddlin'

Unfortunately the Caleb Saga is probably the best content. But I really like the CPAC and Politicon dispatches (I think the early ones are premium feed only), the Rod Dreher blog readings, and of course the True Allegiance readings

E: In general you can skip the first like 10-15 episodes and any episodes about a topic that looks boring and also any of the interviews or live shows

Okay so after going "what the gently caress is Chapo?" forever I finally bit the bullet and started listening and the Caleb Saga is loving cracking my poo poo up, what else is mandatory listening?

They literally just put the first part (from episode 49) of the Caleb stuff on YouTube on their official channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1F2ejZ-tGc

It's worth noting that someone in the comments has... THE BEST news ever. I quote: "Not sure if you guys followed up in the Jeff Jacoby/Caleb Jacoby saga, but on June 6, 2017, Caleb Jacoby wrote another letter to his son, this time about his dismay that his son won't return his phone calls and that he likes Jeremy Corbyn."

I can only ask so much from the hot couch guys about a topic that is easily "hardcore history" tier of podcasting endurance. But, it's a start for a lot of us.

He's not a hot couch guy though, he's an economist and a former member of the Greek Parliament. He should know better.

I mean the guy said the Brexit result didn't inflame the xenophobic right, which is pure horseshit.

Basically just listen to the actual DBZ: Brexit episode, which is fun and informative, and ignore the bonus episode, which had an extremely narrow viewpoint and plenty of inaccuracies. The Chapo reddit thread on this episode actually has an insightful discussion on how one-dimensional his lecture was so I'm not gonna waste time on it here if someone is interested.

I was gonna suggest my Euro friend listen to that episode but yeah, saying the whole vote didn't inflame xenophobia is bullshit and I'm sure his prediction of a No Deal Brexit is far too rosy.

It makes perfect sense if he was just a closeted gay man, like I know it's cliche as gently caress to say that anti-gay conservatives are secretly in the closet but it explains both that and the desire to skinny dip with William Buckley

What I meant was that his homophobic and transphobic bile is so beyond the pale, so dripping with absolute hatred, that it's not even funny to make fun of, unlike a perpetually bumbling pundit like Brooks. At least with McArdle there are a lot of neuroses to unpack, Dreher doesn't have that.

Also, I kinda wish they'd expand the roster of poo poo take people to just the six to eight they've got. Give Mo Dowd a spin, she writes actual fanfiction every so often.

Does anyone have a link to the Letter to Caleb written in 2017? I can't find it, and I'm worried this bit of Schadenfreude might be too good to be true.

As for Rod Dreher, his hatred of gays and transgender people is pretty disgusting, but for me it's balanced out by the complete mental wreck Rod's made of his own psyche. I've read the guy (via Roy Edroso's blog) for years and the dude's just such a hot mess that whatever flashes of anger I get reading his lovely opinions is quickly overwhelmed by the pathos of Rod talking about how he needs that butch orthodox religion or how his family hates him or how one of his Extremely Successful And Urbane Friends Who's Totally Real And Just As Much Of A Snakehandler As He Is saw a bunch of transwomen casting a hex on Ted Cruz.

Speaking of Rod (and Roy's blog, which if you're a fan of CTH you'd enjoy), here's Rod talking about how he's too sensitive to change the cat litter.

The Chapo bonus ep guest is kinda emblematic of an issue with the Left attributing working class only to white workers, and like, someone voting Leave because they want the Poles out of their island is not exactly showing it to the big banks and big business.

I'm the exact opposite; my sympathy for his lovely upbringing stops short when he reminds me that he's brimming with hatred for anyone who isn't a Neo-Puritan freak, and wants everyone to live in these Shyamalan Villages that are the perfect environment for getting away with child abuse.

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


Episode 12 is also worth checking out, it's Virgil's first appearance on the show and they go deep into the lore of the Carl Diggler character and their love of Ron Fournier.
