Is the new Virgil podcast any good?

i think it’s pretty good. it’s like constant beltway garage stuff. they’ve had some really interesting cross sections of people in their panels

yea it's a fine left leaning panel show, which is nice and a thing we need more of, but it's more normal and focused on electoral elements than Chapo. If you want Chapo with no Noid tangents it's good.

Especially because it seemed to be based on TOS which at this point is like a tenth of all Star Trek poo poo. They go out of their way in TNG, DS9 and Voyager to show that doing stuff like Kirk is NOT how we do poo poo any more.

You should throw it in the ocean.
Briahna has been getting much better at hosting as it’s gone on, but it’s definitely more normal. I don’t think it’s going to win over any diehards because Bernie/Chapo connection, but it’s nice to have a 3rd podcast on Monday/Thursday after listening to Matt’s backyard revival meetings.

I mean hell, shouldn't the lib crowd love this? This is way more woke than tricking autistic Muslim teens into saying '9/11 was cool' in WoW, this time they pushed a bunch of lovely white chuds to do some insane Steven Segal movie plot to justify their continued funding!

We have to vote for Biden because trump is an existential threat to the republic. Joe does not support any legislation that would improve the lives of the majority of Americans and prevent a Tom Cotton/trump jr White House in 2024, but we have to vote for him because orange man bad.

I don’t think that being the more left podcaster with the Bernie campaign comms person makes you a lib.

He could just be a demsoc and not a revolutionary Marxist

yea Virgil is clearly more on the demsoc side of things than 'lib' as we use it, like, he is a leftist, he just thinks the electoral system can be reformed and used.

yea I'm glad Virgil is using is weird 'I made a bunch of internet marxists think I'm a secret lib wrecker because I think voting is good still' position to at least help with this 'it's leftist but actually not terminally online' project, as boring as it is to not spend half your leftism podcast making fun of Chunt Hoff the MAGA twitter darling nobody actually cares about it probably is good to have it there for actual normal people to see what the agenda is.

Did he host a standup night where Sam Hyde "did his thing", or did he host a stand up night where Sam Hyde, who would later go on to be vaguely attached to the alt right, performed?
