To be fair he's just gotten old and doesn't have his wits about him as even his writing sucks now. The NA podcast still merits the occasional listen, but Curry went evangelical and their community has become full of that particular breed of "patriot" that I don't like to associate with. I don't think they do either, but the irony (given their anti-advertising model) is that these types of folks pay their bills, so now they're stuck keeping them happy.
the show used to be good fun. general banter, silly conspiracy stuff. it started sucking well before Trump and then the election made it so much worse.
haven't listened in years but somehow i ended up with JCD as a connection on LinkedIn, so every time I log on there's some no agenda hot take in the feed somewhere.
Yeah I used to listen to them quite a bit back in the day but in the lead up to the 2016 election they became insufferable. There was one Clinton story in particular they kept bringing up so I went through their show notes to the source and sure enough they were mischaracterizing everything about it. I emailed John pointing this out and he emailed back with one of the most dismissive replies I've ever gotten.
"this is an excellent deep analysis that I credit the show for."
Wow, thanks John, I'm glad I have the show to credit for doing some basic analysis.
I called him out on having a chemistry degree but not understanding how the prospects of using hydrogen in steelmaking isn't some hippy-dippy, NWO bullshit, but actually a really awesome thing to work toward. Got the equivalent of a shrug and he told me to start my own podcast.
I think they mainly have an issue with idiots and hypocrites. They are fans of RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, and lots of others; they also slam lots of republicans as well (for being hypocritical idiots).
