Time For My Stories Bonus Release - Gossip Girl

Greetings. I tried to edit my intro into this audacity file and have the music faintly play over what I was saying but was unable to alter the volume. not really my fault. I make the stuff that goes in the podcast, not the outside. asking me to do that is like asking the world's finest architect to make you a couch. Fuck you. Anyway this is our episode about Gossip Girl. go to stitcher.com/premium and enter code CHAPO for 50 percent off a year of Stitcher premium, which includes Blowback and ...

504 - Me Me Madness (3/8/21)

For #InternationalWomensDay we review a film by Hollywood’s newest female auteur, who just happens to be the wife of former Treasury Secretary/Suicide Squad producer Steve Mnuchin. Yes, it’s Louise Linton’s “Me You Madness,” a film that dares ask the question “what if a bisexual woman HAD mental health issues?”

503 - The Charlimentarian feat. Steven Donziger (3/4/21)

Matt, Felix and Amber take a look at Cuomo’s most recent bout of vile behavior, the fucking parliamentarian thing, Biden’s miracle cancer cure, and end on an optimistic note about discerning what’s important from what’s distraction.

Then, Will catches up with Steven Donziger, the human rights attorney who has been under house arrest for over 500 days as a result of his work suing oil giant Chevron for their reckless polluting of Ecuador. Since we last talked to Steven there’s ...

502 - Units of One feat. Adam Curtis (3/1/21)

Chapo UK correspondent Adam Curtis returns to discuss the limits of individualism, goodies and baddies, conspiracies, manipulation, and dancing, all through the themes and characters of his new film series Can’t Get You Out of My Head.

I Solved The Promo Code Debacle

Ok, so apparently promo code CHAPO for 50 percent off Stitcher premium for a year only works in browsers. That is to say, you can do it on your phone if you do it in your browser and not the app, or if you are insane and listen to podcast on desktop, like me. I am not sure why it doesn't work in the app, but here we are. Promises made, promises kept

Stitcher Premium Code

Saw a bunch of comments about how the code we gave didn't work. that's bizarre because it's the one Stitcher gave it. I pledge to get to the bottom of this. I am the only one that can fix this -Donald Trump -Felix

Ayyyyyy look at us. Against all odds, personal, political, technological, logistical, uhhh, hygenic-al, we made it to 500 dang episodes. We’re taking a moment to bask in our own greatness, and got all our favorite friends, past guests, and fellow podcasters to send in some toasts and/or roasts of the show.

500th Ep Listener Best-Of Poll

Hello Grey Wolves,

Our 500th episode is quickly approaching. I wanted to take this momentous occasion to do a little reflection. So, I’ve put together this poll for listeners to vote for their All Time Favorite Episodes. What will I do with this information? I’m not sure yet, I’m mostly just doing this out of my own curiosity. I’ll probably end up using it to program some of the lofi Chapo radio streams I’ve been putting up 2021-02-16 03:35:41 +0000 UTC View Post

498 - Child FACTS Credit feat. The Bruenigs (2/15/21)

Matt and Liz Bruenig stop by to talk KIDS. First, Matt walks us through what’s going on with the stimulus package, AEI’s insistence that mothers must never stop working, and why liberals are addicted to tax credits. Then we get mad at the damn crotchspawn with r/childfree, read some dear Prudie letters, and finally hold children accountable for long history of abusive behavior.

497 - Poppy, Part 2 (2/11/21)

Will guides us through the life and times of George H.W. Bush, part 2: The Nixon Years. How was H.W. connected to a shadowy cabal of industrialists who were behind Nixon’s rise to power? Was Nixon the perpetrator of Watergate, or its intended victim? What was H.W. able to accomplish during his brief stint as head of the CIA? All these questions just raise more questions in this installment of what is increasingly shaping up to be the Chapo Studios Poppy Audiophonic Universe.

496 - Wassup (2/8/21)

A sampler platter of an ep as we talk about the Super Bowl, China’s “totalitarian” COVID response, the proudboy to Fed pipeline, and Nevada’s new proposal to allow blockchain companies to form municipal governments. Finally, we do our quarterly check-up on Rod Dreher to learn how he’s definitely NOT being blackmailed over pornography but definitely IS a stoolie.

We’re going to watch and do a live commentary on Mike Lindell’s “Absolute Proof” tomorrow night ...

495 - Young Shooters feat. Pod About List (2/4/21)

489 - I Heard You Paint Bathrooms (1/14/21)

They went and impeached the dang President again, huh? We talk about that, the now $1400 checks, make fun of Mike Pence for a while, and review the shitstorm of a scandal brewing at Jared and Ivanka’s house. Finally, we close with a mini-reading series about Lindsay Graham’s vaudeville youth.

A wake for @realDonaldTrump, one of the greatest posters of all time. Also, more fallout from the Capitol Hill riot, social media crack downs, pit bull moms & Hot Soup.

We’re joined by our friend Will Sommer for some on-the-ground observations and discussion about yesterday’s Capitol Hill riot.

479 - Malibu Kelly’s Dream House (12/10/20)

Most of this is about America’s’ decrepitly aged political class, and how that affects accountability and political power among Democrats. But what’s really important is we STOP THE STEAL...of our nations' precious foreskins.

New Podcast Integration

Dear Loyal Grey Wolves,

We've just integrated a new podcast product called Acast with our Patreon podcast feed. The primary purpose of this is to make it easier to access your subscriber-only podcast feed, which I know from experience has been a bit of a pain in the past, with the copying and pasting of the hard-to-find link from one app to another.

Here's how the improvement works: For new subscribers, to subscribe to the patron-only feed, from the device where you wan...
