  • Volume mixing

    I’m hard of hearing and recent episodes are mixed too low to be audible to me, I’ve been a long time fan of the pod but have had to stop listening because I can’t hear well enough understand the discussions

  • No more ghostbusters jokes…

    Great show, been listening for years, especially for Travis and Liv. Jake’s millennial humor becomes absolutely unbearable at certain points, but Julian is generally a good host. Edit: Julian’s first episode back and his humor is grating again

    Edit: Jake has referenced 9 unique movies in the first half of this episode it’s painful when there’s an interesting conversation happening

  • Really want to love this show

    It’s really tough. Because a lot of good information is on this show. But Jake is truly one of the most annoying hosts of any show I enjoy. Just adds truly useless asides especially about old nerd culture that really derails all conversations. Like it get it you want a gullible person on the podcast to represent how someone can be into conspiracies. But god is he a drag on an otherwise decent podcast

  • Been Listening Since the Early Days

    So happy to have found this pod when Trump first got elected. Felt like I could relate to this show as its topic helped me cope with the situation we found ourselves. I subscribed for years and have supported the cause in my little way. Before cursed media dropped things started to slide a little but now this podcast is the shadow of what is used to be. Perhaps we have evolved in different directions and ‘I just don’t get it anymore’.

  • Julian

    Canceled Patreon after years. Julian is hypocritical, slimy, and sucks the life out of every episode he’s on.

    Could not support this crew any longer.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Cultural Marxism Conspiracy feat. A.J.A. Woods (E378)
Q: How did the term cultural Marxism evolve from its academic origins to a rallying cry in Tea Party and Gamergate communities?
The guest explains that the term was repurposed by various right-wing actors who cherry-picked elements from the Frankfurt School and related thinkers, then embedded them in media ecosystems and political campaigns to frame culture as a battleground and to delegitimize progressive reforms.
The Legacy of Knowledge Fight feat. Dan Friesen (E374)
Q: What do you think is your role in debunking Jones's misinformation, and is it more important to dissect the mechanics of the wrongness or to provide direct corrections?
The role is to illuminate the mechanics of how misinformation works and how vagueness and prophecy are used, while also providing clear, factual corrections when possible; both empathy for the audience and critical scrutiny are important in parallel.
The Onion Wears The Infowars Skinsuit feat. Ben Collins (E370)
Q: What does victory look like for the families affected by Infowars' misinformation campaigns, beyond the financial aspects?
The guests describe a multi-faceted objective including stopping Jones's harmful influence, securing accountability, and reshaping Infowars' brand to prevent future harm, with a focus on justice and creative, constructive media output.
The Onion Wears The Infowars Skinsuit feat. Ben Collins (E370)
Q: How do you anticipate existing Infowars audiences will react to The Onion's takeover, and what is your strategy to avoid alienating or enraging them?
The team suggests leveraging satire to reveal the absurdity of conspiratorial content, while building a new audience through Tim Heidecker's involvement and a broader media strategy that emphasizes quality content and anti-misinformation.
The Onion Wears The Infowars Skinsuit feat. Ben Collins (E370)
Q: Can you walk us through what exactly you would gain if The Onion takes over Infowars and what access you would have to their back-end systems?
Ben Collins explains that the deal would grant control over editorial direction and IP, with some logistical arrangements around the studio and production, while acknowledging the complexity of re-integrating Infowars traffic and advertisers.
