finding most of the chapo eps either really boring/depressing (i cba to listen to some dude promote his book about “refounding the American Republic”, fuck off) or just not that funny these days. need something to listen to that will make me laugh about the awful shit going on. any recs? is trueanon good?
Trash Future is pretty fun if you’re okay with them focusing mainly on the UK
thanks, that’s a good rec, i live in the UK and used to enjoy it. However they’re all so incredibly posh and i got into an argument with november on twitter a while ago and i can’t stomach listening to it since then unfortunately. also that ep of Britainology where they reviewed the Top Gear US episode and the American was whining so much about their light ribbing of the US south was super annoying.
It’s remarkable how wrong November is consistently but she’s funny enough that nobody cares, apparently. Tuned her out after she was supporting HTS taking over Syria and calling Rania Khalek a doomer.
QAnon Anonymous (QAA) is my vote for funny podcast about the present day insanity
jesus christ
I’ve never heard a good take from her TBH.
she sucks and talks over everyone the whole time. the best episodes are the ones without her
Yeah, the constant referencing of classical history is amusing in that “look at this in-group signalling they can’t help themselves but make” kinda way, but then it gets kinda… sad when they start talking quite confidently about the working class experiences of life in the UK and they clearly have no relation to it whatsoever. That’s mostly on the Britainnology side.
The train guy they have on is good - his podcast Railnatter is pretty interesting, and quite focused on Train Stuff.
They are the closest for me to the vibe of early trapo. Also can’t recall which guy, but one of the Brit’s in that show does hilarious impressions. The cast the net wide enough that I don’t find the otherwise British focus to be a downside.
