Hm. Okay.

    • Using an adblocker and a scriptblocker, I checked it out and it looks legit. It has the episode in question in OP as well as the Streets episode @[email protected] mentioned in the comments.

      At this point I kind of feel like just saying fuck The Deprogram. I used to really like it, as a fan of all three of their individual youtube channels I was a listener from the first episode all the way until like episode 90 or somewhere around there. There was some other stuff that got on my nerves over time, but this switch to paywalling some of their episodes is bullshit. I understand they deserve to be compensated for what they do with the podcast, and I thought it was a great model that non-patreon listeners had to wait a week to hear each episode and that they did live Q&A sessions only for patrons, etc. I’m all for that. But to lock people out of content if they don’t pay a subscription fee is just fucking low imo. I realize other leftist podcasts do that too and I think that also fucking sucks. It is hypocritical of them, and it does make me lose respect for them.

      Anyway yes, thanks ByteFoolish, the above link should be fine for listening to those payblocked “patron only” episodes.

        It seems legit to me too, but I can’t get it to work. Either of the download links takes a million years only to show “no video with supported format or MIME type found” or whatever, I right click and select “save link” and then the download takes a million years also. I wonder if it’s just slow because of excessive traffic.
