The promised/threatened podcast is coming into shape! I did a great interview with a guest tonight. What I’m going to do is combine that with just me talking for a few minutes about leftist cults and how to avoid them. I’ve been meaning to do a post on that for a while anyway.
OK I have it done! I’m going to publish it on Monday but would anyone like to listen to it before then and tell me if there are any horrible problems with it? If so let me know and I’ll give you the MP3 download link. It’s way longer than I thought it would be at an hour, but I underestimated how labor intensive it is to edit down audio.
Thank you so much @rush-keating who checked it out and gave me some great feedback!
I uploaded the first episode to libsyn and I’ll update here when it shows on iTunes and Stitcher and so on.
If things go well I’ll eventually set up a Patreon to cover the costs of the libsyn hosting (only $5 a month) plus the cost of doing transcripts, which I really need to be doing for Deaf/HOH folks. I can’t do that now, but if I can keep a regular podcast going, I’m going to commit to transcripts. I don’t ever want to run ads though… ugh, I hate them.
If folks are interested, the podcast is called Not Safe for Weebs.
This has a 50/50 chance of not being a parody? It’s actually a really common conservative talking point but they usually manage to phrase it so it doesn’t sound quite so painfully stupid.
After the travel ban, a common talking point that they had was “if you are against the ban why do you have a lock on your door?” which ignores that even if you have a lock, you can still choose to invite people in at any time.

By the way, the OP of that thread made a new one today and it is here.

no one likes having to choose the lesser of two evils but on purely practical terms if you can’t see the difference between the “we’ll keep the fucked-up status quo, maybe make a few tiny changes, some even for the better if you’re lucky” party and the “we’re gonna make everything SO MUCH WORSE because we’re gun-toting batshit evil racists” party idk what to say to you
[id= @transwitchlexi on Twitter “unpopular leftist opinion: both major parties in the US are failures, but one is actively pushing nazi propaganda and white supremacy, and therefore claiming ‘both parties are the same’ does nothing to help people right now and instead causes more republicans to get voted in.” /end id]
