It still is free! The premium eps cost money. And you don’t even have to pay for those! They know about the Blackwolf Feed and don’t care.

It's still a bit baffling to me that a patreon podcast could ever make so much money with seemingly zero effort. Respect.

It’s funny because they obviously put more time and energy into their shows than 99% of other podcasts.

Not true in the least. Their audio quality is garbage, and their content is just off-the-cuff half-baked hot takes. I don't listen to Chapo often, but Amber in particular sounded like she was sitting in a can in the Taibbi episode.

If only there were some recent event that could explain the sudden drop in mic quality

They've had bad audio quality for many years and good microphones aren't expensive. They simply don't care, that's why the audio quality is bad. Otherwise they'd have figured it out.

I don't know what podcasts you're listening to but Chapo, even the recent episodes where they're able to have Chris coordinate stuff so they're not just using the call audio, has the best audio quality of just about any podcast I follow other than Blowback, and that has Brendan going full Phil Spector on the track in a way he couldn't on Chapo so it's hardly fair.

I listen to a sports podcast which is for a major network and gets huge amounts of coverage. Their lockdown stuff has just been embarrassing.

People not using any push to talk and just hot micing while others are talking. You can hear them loudly breathing/shuffling papers/coughing/sniffing at like full volume. They all do that thing where they all speak over each other then realise the others are talking all awkwardly pause then all say "sorry jim...eh no... you go...no you".

I mostly remember that episode from me being owned in this thread because I didn't understand that the definition of 'free will' they were using was different from the one I had in my head and I was upset about it.

He might have a hard time getting Gene Wolfe to come on. He's quite dead. Not quite as dead as Alan Moore, but also not quite as alive either.

I kept thinking Roth was Virgil. Their accents are very similar.

I wish they had mentioned the book for a bit because it’s 100% about Heinlein having a hard on for the marine corps and Rico’s story is a very Horatio hornblower kind of individual rises on his merit and virtue alone thing.

Just finished the Taibbi episode.

I loved Taibbi back in the day and read all his articles, it was the first exposure that I had to non-mainstream lines of thought. I liked the analysis about Russiagate and the missing class discussion of the rise of Donald Trump with it being attributed exclusively to racism but it's really sad to see him go "just presenting information" on journalism. Free speech arguments only cut one way where fascists must be given platforms to speak freely and you can't criticize us for that, and nary a critique of capitalism shall be printed. It's like he's stopped being aware of the unspoken assumptions in media. I wish they had pushed back more against him on that.

People losing their jobs over bullshit sucks, but again the issue there isn't "cancel culture" but massive job insecurity and lack of labor rights. You can't tell moralisers on the internet what to do or not to do, but you can talk about the conditions that create that opportunity to destroy lives for wrongthink. Same with policing, you can't tell police with buckets full of flashbangs not to huck them at protestors faces but you can take away the flashbangs.

I listened to the Blowback bonus episode with Matt; they cram a brief discussion of Southland Tales in there at the end.

Now I'm reading the prequel comics to Southland Tales. I still don't know what to think of that drat movie.
