Politics Political show or podcast you can’t do without

I really miss Tough Crowd. Definitely had a conservative bent to it, Colin was defensive of Bush, but it's fun to go back and see like...good faith arguments about race and culture before the 2010s turned everything into a culture war. It was also the place where hack comedians went to die, where the most famous person in the room could bomb and the audience and other comedians let them have it. The show barely exists these days, only in mostly terrible quality footage, but it really should be preserved for future comedians to learn from.

It's sad that so many of the shows regulars died young. Patrice, Giraldo, Todd Lynne etc. Ralphie May too. And a lot of the people back then that I liked, Gervais, DiPaolo, Anthony Cumia, Chappelle, are so deeply embedded in either gender issues or MAGA that they lost their funny.

That was such a great era of comedy. All those guys are the reason comedy is so huge and comedians are the most popular people on the planet right now.

None I can't live without. But top 4 I tune into most frequently
Rogan
Glenn Greenwald
Dan Carlin (not political, but one of the best podcasts in the world by far, extremely underrrated)
Redacted

I like a lot of others but there just isn't the time...
