Since unsurprisingly the Redscare people are going fash, it would be good to know who's a grifter and who's not. What's your predictions?

My predictions:

Grifters:

Zizek
AOC
1-2 from Cumtown (it's anyone's guess)

Not Grifters

The Deprogram Boys (ok I'm still in honeymoon)
Jezza (obviously)
Richard Wolfe & Harriet Fraad
Viki1999

Pretty much just looks like you dont like the WTYP hosts.... WTYP, TF, Kill James Bond, Lions led by donkeys. You can kinda see a trend here.

Oh no to be clear I listen to all of those except lions led by donkeys, and I’ve listened to a lot of that too. If I had a new episode of every podcast I listen to, West Wing Thing is probably the only one that I’d listen to before TF, and WTYP would be next. Alice in particular I really like, I honestly can’t get enough of stuff she makes. Liam isn’t my favorite, and I love that his dad always dunks on him for being a lib.
