Decent show, enjoyed what I could, but now three paywalled episodes in a row. It’s just insulting that consumers are expected to toss cash out at every single podcast these days, now that traditional media is dead every little hand is grasping for cash. Plenty of podcasts monetize but when you’re paywalling the majority of your programming, christ if you want to go private just delist and be a little paywalled cult or something, it’s just boring to check your feed and see oh, yet another episode trying to extort cash.

During the entire 7 month genocide in Gaza these guys pretended like it was not happening. Also his cohost is unbearably pretentious.

I think there’s a Hulu about this show?

As a historian, this is irresponsible … just get someone who actually knows the history of tech.. his narrative is half myth half nonsense that perpetuates right wing ways of understanding history and our current predicament. Try fact checking!

I'm east coast but truly believe Calif knows better. Look on the back of those loan docs at the small print; calif always has rules to help the little guy. The people in the middle are gone! The banking system as it's too big to fail is an example where THAT idea that the minions never 'cashed out' YET paid for it. Trickle-down only works when there is transparency otherwise the offshore banks get bigger since the wealthy must hide their money so they avoid taxes therefore little left to trickledown. I became homeless recently, I've been doing loads of research enough to know Deutchebank NEVER wanted to help anyone after the people bailed them out! 4.1 BILLION earmarked to help evaporates. Deutchebank paid fines then back to business-as-usual when they threw this senior on the street after 20 years in my Miami Beach home I love. I wrote the bank. They don't care. I wrote the White House~nothing. I hate our society and in my own way making a diff to speak loudly of the grift of DC politicians.

Get enough of this from regular media

They know what’s up.

April fools me twice…

Best podcast ever?!

Probably the best improv comedy podcast on the internet. Love the wacky characters.

Early eps felt more organic but the chemistry is still undeniable

Weird combo of important coverage and really stupid/bad humor, pretty good

Great pod cast. Must listen. 🌎👏👏👋

Great show

5 stars for interviewing Vollmann-agree that he is greatest living writer after 70 years of reading.

…

best podcast in town. liz is a genius, brace is a goof & a cutie. patreon subscriber for two years & i look forward to it all!

Thank you for this truthful and very informative episode. So many, no, the majority of Americans are ignorant on this topic. I have so much respect for you two for having the speaker on your podcast.

Saying effective altruism is somehow so problematic, without evidence except that the vibe is bad among some people who talk about the theory? I’ve got better things to do with my time than listening to people who are against examining the world.

Brace, it’s getting worse and worse. You invite a guest who has written an article or a book and yet you are the foremost authority. Droning on and on, never asking questions. At this point you talk about 70% if the time. How about this idea, ask your guest a question or let them summarize their work and while they are talking… listen to them…. And find opportunities to say something funny, which is your strength. Yes you as an expert not good, you slipping in funny comments when someone who is an expert is trying to be series, podcast gold. Also, I’m a fan of how you choke everytime you attempt a character. I’m not being sarcastic I think it’s pretty funny that you bail every single time. What happens? Do you get scared? Are you afraid of commitment… to characters. Hahahaha (Two stars were just to get attention)

A pick-me and a misogynist host give generally bad takes in a sarcastic elitist tone. Apologists for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s treatments of Uyghurs…

Love the show

lol

Brace just randomly decided to help the US commit war crimes in Syria then decided to become a communist. If you don’t think he’s a fed you’re delusional.

Total bait and switch from how this podcast started. If you are interested in parapolitics, there are dozens of better options out there.

Not usually a lover of current matters eps but this one really got my attention/ was pretty inspiring. Thanks guys + prof roshkov

Jumpin Jeezus on a cracker!! I found two, count ‘em, two “lefties” that are not completely sanctimonious & insufferable.!! Not only that, but these two are funny, thoughtful and got the right chemistry to keep it moving. Not my typical cup, and as far as any kind of truth goes, They are , of course, still objectively & provably misinformed about some if their info, but their personalities and souls make this forgivable. Cant believe this is the same guy from my old MRR’s w/ Last Punk Rocker columns…

The game series will help anyone navigate the austerity-based Overlook Hotel that is the rehab industry

I was premium subscriber in the beginning when they were covering the Epstein case. I had to unsubscribe due to the disappointing amount of toxic masculinity from this ostensibly left wing podcast. I tried to give them another chance recently and it seems they have not changed.

Liked this one before but since they got a gong? love it so much.

Fun

The woman has a sexy voice and the guy does not sound threatening at all.

Best in the biz!!!!

Meh

Sending love from New Orleans come down here instead of Austin we still got freaks. Really enjoyed the Pruitt-Igoe / City Authentic episodes. Went to school for Urban Planning and am still super into those ideas especially when ya dunk on food halls. Keep it up!

So nice to hear their cool ideas!

This was a fantastic podcast about conspiracies once, but I checked out when they started doing documentary episodes on punk bands. Brace and Liz are smart and have extremely interesting things to say, but not enough to justify listening to all the filler in between, and the filler has come to predominate. Sad!

This was my introductory episode to this podcast and was very impressed with it. Subscribed!

Liz’s voice is not annoying!

Nyeheheheee

I’m so grateful to hear people speaking like actual friends. Didn’t know how much I missed that.

I love the show, but I’m not really sure if they’re like Party for Socialism and Liberation socialists (I am) or Bernie Sanders/AOC socialists.

It makes it way harder to introduce people to these ideas without sounding untrustworthy Final edit: I’m still blown away and mortified that Brace read this and responded to it. I’ve never known those of his background and presumably faith to interact with normal people.

I think the podcast craze is showing us there’s only so many hours two people can talk before they run out of things to say but Patreon be damned. Bad poems? Do you have zero respect for your audience???

they’re journalists folks, and they’re good. don’t talk to em’ l i s t e n

I would never podcast with a voice like that, but she’s doing it!

Price of the brick going up

Its always great to hear your voices and laugh and cry along
