I agree, the hosts feel like they aren’t really continuing their own socialist education, and are quite possibly even actively going backwards (it feels like Yugopnik has gotten a lot more reactionary sounding over time.) I love their banter, but they have really ceased to be a proper “socialist” podcast for me and have become another “3 guys talking about whatever” podcast with a socialist bent.

I’m worried they’re too concerned with the social media aspect of it, trying to remain “popular” to reach more people, but in doing so, have actively turned away from “unpalatable” messages, which can easily lead their audience of baby leftists astray. I would’ve recommended the podcast to people just learning about socialism a year or so ago, but these days I’d be worried it would do more harm than good.
