Seems like Chapo Trap House and The Adam Friedland Show are inexplicably unrepresented not only here but on other similar webapps linked elsewhere in this thread... Strange, considering that those are two incredibly popular podcasts, at least by the metric of Patreon revenue.

I couldn't find either of Jim Cornette podcasts, tiger belly, flagrant, brilliant idiots, and Matt and Shane's secret podcast which I think is number 1 on Patreon.

I would assume they started with the podcasts they currently subscribe to, then asked their friends, then started going down one of the charts that rank by downloads.

I never heard of the ones you mentioned, and you may not have heard of the ones I mentioned. There are so many podcasts that there are always going to be missing ones. Not to mention, if the goal is to sell ads, then high Patreon earners would not really be your target.

Stop baiting partisan bickering
People don’t like advertising with Nazis so it wouldn’t make sense to pay to transcribe that.
