I’m pretty open, and not really looking for anything specific here aside from the usual “no liberal bullshit” rule. I did listen to a bit of Chapo for a hot second in 2018 but I could be persuaded to go back if theyre good.
So to that end, what are your favorite episodes of your podcast of choice?
Homie, I’m a liberal, I don’t listen to anything except NPR
Any starting points you recommend?
My all-time favorite episode that I make other people listen to is episode 143 - How Silicon Valley Uses Hollow “Anti-Racist” Posturing to Sell Its Exploitative Business Model (covering how Uber got Prop 22, which lets them avoid giving benefits to their drivers in California, to pass). Even though Nima and Adam come prepared for their guest that episode, having already familiarized themselves with her writings, the guest knocks it out of the part with everything she adds to the ep.

One of my absolute favs from citations needed is the “perseverance porn” episode, I think it’s #23
