OK, I just Patreon'd them or whatever, is there an easy way to get the premium episodes into my iPhone Podcasts app?

I don't think so, because those episodes are all hosted on Soundcloud. Probably the best you can do is download them and be able to play them on the Soundcloud app or the non-podcast iTunes app.

This was the first episode I didnt really like. Felix writes an article and they spend the episode hashing over the thing I read last week. The Vietnam allegory was kind of fun, then they drew it out with the Iraq war and it died. Meh.

Chapo works best when they can go deep into a single idea or train of thought, and there was way too much in Suicide Squad to analyze and riff on.

I know digcast is parody/satire, but do they get some real guests or is it people who sound like the supposed guest?

The main guests are always real. Sometimes they have people call in for a minute or two who are clearly fake characters invented for the show (David Milkberg, or the Billiards Fool).

Deray has done a ton of work documenting protests that were under media blackout and police brutality and all, but yea its his charter school stance that really matters

I think everyone on the podcast/leftist twitter sphere agrees that Deray does a lot of genuinely good and fantastic and important journalism/activism, and also that his love of charter schools and the twitter brand is silly. That's why they don't threaten his imminent death or associate him with bizarre sexual pathology.

Dr. Stein said in response to a question about wireless internet in schools: “We should not be subjecting kids’ brains especially to that… We don’t follow that issue in this country, but in Europe, where they do, they have good precautions around wireless, maybe not good enough.” What precautions should be taken around wireless internet and why?


What actually happened is that a parent raised concerns about the possible health effects of WiFi radiation on developing children, and I agreed that more research is needed. It may surprise many people that over 200 scientific experts in the field have called for more research into the health effects of radiation from devices like cellphones and WiFi, especially on developing children, and a number of countries have banned or restricted these technologies in schools. These concerns were amplified by a recent National Institutes of Health study that provided “some of the strongest evidence to date that such exposure [to the type of radiation emitted from cell phones and wireless devices] is associated with the formation of rare cancers…”

Doesn't this imply that white Clinton supporters are more racist than the Kasich supporters? Because probably like at least a third of Clinton supporters are non-white and they're probably not saying 'yes' to the racist questions.

One thing I didn't agree with in the premium ep was the "Americans are too pampered, no one's gonna be in the streets" probably applies to some people, but I think black folks, Native American folks have shown that they will get out in the streets. Hell, Trump got scared out of chicago by demonstration from a coalition of Fight for 15, BLM and other activists.

People will go out and protest in the streets, sure, but Matt meant "go out into the streets" in the Weimar Germany sense of "literal deadly violent clashes between political groups in the streets" which dumb members of the commentariat fear will happen if/when Trump doesn't concede. Sometimes protests are violently repressed in America today, but they never turn violent because, as Matt points out, there are few people who are literally willing to kill or be killed for their political beliefs

As hilarious as that latest premium episode was, I don't think Trump's call to not respect the election results if he loses is something to dismiss as "scared lib" talk. It shows a peek into how undemocratic he would be if he does win, which is highly unlikely in spite of certain sites and media outlets saying that it's getting close. And while nobody is gonna take it to the streets if Trump loses, I wouldn't doubt there being a smattering of racist violence in its aftermath. Matt Walsh is all talk, but scattered white nationalists could mean business. Let's not forget yet another black church firebombing recently with "Vote Trump" sprayed on it.

As for the good stuff, I completely forgot about Steven Den Beste's blog post about how being at a strip club made him have faith in women. I remember he once said that his last name "appropriately" translates to "The Best" in Dutch. Good night, sweet anime warmonger, and may a chorus of waifus lead you to 2D Heaven.

Agreed, but scared libs are literally sacred of Trump trying to start a coup or poo poo like that. Which won't happen because Trump supporters are all, like Trump himself, lazy old men with big salaries and families

are there many people afraid of actual coup attempts, or are people just maybe worried that the white nationalist who spent his entire campaign shouting 'YOU ARE HEROES FOR HATING THE MUSLIMS AND MEXICANS LIKE ME, IF ANYTHING EVER DOESN'T GO YOUR WAY IT'S BECAUSE 'THOSE PEOPLE' RIGGED IT, ALSO JEWS BUT I GOTTA BE MORE SUBTLE ABOUT THAT' probably just emboldened the types of people who, say, burn a church or mosque down.

There are people who are actually worried that donald trump's refusal to accept the results of the election wold represent a grave danger to American democracy itself (as well as people who more sensibly understand that racist rhetoric encourages racist violence)
