Just got done listening to one of their episodes. I’ve heard several before and had to quit because its just kind of garbage. More than just bad content that usually fails to engage with whatever it is talking about, but its actually pretty reactionary.
When I look back on how the sub for the podcast was so big and influential I just cringe.
The sub was really not about the podcast in the end. I remember hearing that the podcast guys didn’t even like the sub cause it was so diverged from the podcast. It’s also why the chapo site became Hexbear.
I will say they did have a pretty funny D&D style RP game where they played as typical 70s white suburban homeowners and they have to investigate their new neighbor “Jeffstein” who was seen carrying into his house what looked like a small, child sized luggage bag, with what appeared to be a small arm sticking out.
Probably one of the few episodes I found actually entertaining.
Sometimes new people still show up on Hexbear to talk about chapo episodes and everyone who’s been there more than 5 minutes is like “wait, who?” Most of them seem to listen to the same pods people here have listed.
