Apple Podcasts5SweetYarrowUnited States13 days ago - Former listener until CR episode
I used to love this podcast but am very disappointed with the episode about Chappell Roan.

Apple Podcasts2orangeafternoonluvrUnited States16 days ago - A bit disappointed
I’ve been a huge fan but could only make it through half of the Chappell episode. Defending this person is not a hill I would be willing to die on. She has given me the yuck for quite a while, making it all the easier to buy into the smear campaigns. Hope for better in the future.

Hi Matt, thank you so so much all those many years of incredible reporting. From Geopolitical Reporting to Chronically Online Queer Brainrot. Everything that activates my brain is on your Podcast. Each episode excites me more than the one before. Especially in 2024 & 25 your Podcast felt like a safe haven when most other leftist mainstream podcasts turned out to be Zio-Platforms. So just thank you & all the love from Vienna, Austria <3
