How many of you are unironically 'what podcast?' people?

I know this site spawned from a podcast but that's the extent of my knowledge. I cannot be the only one.

  • Yeah, I listened to the podcast for awhile. Until the pandemic, Americans made it their mission to inflict their shitty electoral politics on you no matter how unrelated the space. You know how many times I got accused of voting one way or another when all I wanted to do was talk about books and TV shows?

    Perversely, being tortured by it made me interested in what was going on. The podcast was sort of my way of working out what the fuck their problem was. It was easily the least insufferable American politics show I came across, and had the added benefit of making the same people screaming at me very mad.

    It fell off by the second election. They started seeming less counter-cultural and more genuinely invested in the election. Fortunately, after the election Americans finally stopped screaming at me about their politics and I eventually dropped it.

      I know all too well. It's dreary. And we're in for another year of it now.

      • I don't think anything could be as bad as that run from 2015 to 2020, and at least we don't have the primary drama to deal with unless one of them kicks the bucket.

        • They're trying to act like the primaries are a thing, but I suppose not as noisily as they did last time.
