Any podcast red or blue is making a lot of money once they get a huge audience. My concern is that these revenue streams are becoming more important to podcasters than discussing truths or recommending actions that may impact their subscriber numbers. 2024 election is case in point. Prove me wrong.

For example, show me a list of top progressive podcasts during the 2024 election cycle that didn't just make fun of Trump and assure us that Kamala was going to win? Which ones pulled the panic alarm and said "Alert, this is a serious threat", "The far-right is using GAZA as anti-voting propaganda"?

What are 'red pill podcasts'?

It’s like a breeder reactor but instead of producing plutonium or uranium they produce idiots.

They’re making lots of money off people who claim they can’t afford eggs. 🙄

Red-pill podcasts are in some ways similar to those "Habits of rich people" stuff from years back. It's promising a quick fix that distracts from the underlying problems.
