Politics podcasts

[s28]

I recently came across the US politics podcast Chapo Trap House partly through the UK 'version' of what is termed the 'Dirtbag Left' The Reel Politik Podcast.

Anyone listened to them or recommend others in the genre ?

This was the most accessible listen for myself as a UK listener

They seem to be gaining notoriety in the US

seems to be quite lucrative. apparently these guys are on a $70k per month Patreon!

A good episode of Chapo from 9/11 in 2016 discussing Saudi from about 57:25 (just after the Chicago Bears Superbowl Shuffle!)

They really love Erdogan and Gulen references !

They call their fans the 'Grey Wolves' and claim to be sponsored by the AKP Justice and Development Party

George Galloway's latest edition of "The Mother Of All Talk Shows" gets uploaded to YouTube every Saturday now, and notably with all of the adverts taken out - or as George amusingly dubs them, 'capitalist messages' ! Always a great listen whilst you're doing your housework on the weekend.

I should make more time for the boy Galloway.

the first few minutes or so 'cold open' of this episode was a great parody nod to the recent Hollywood film about Churchill 'Darkest Hour'
