I'm glad somebody figured it the fuck out that podcasts are a good idea, and that the mainstream media isn't the singular option to reach out to people. This is the absolute death knell of the media.
Some of these podcasts are also a completely unique way to see whole different forms of the politicians. The Flagrant podcast was actually super interesting because it showed that his comedic timing, nickname creation, and wandering speeches are 100% intentional and the result of a disciplined and intelligent effort to craft rhetorical weapons. He was actually trying to teach the professional comedians about his strategies, because he's a bit like a stand-up comic himself.
I actually like the idea of politicians doing 50% political stuff, and then 50% podcast relevant niche material for the fans of the podcast because it shows a breadth of these people. You can get a more honest sense of who they are.
Praise Baron Trump for that, Donald mentions it to Rogan that Baron was the one that encouraged him to go on podcasts as that's what younger people listen to.
And he's right, he's actually doing fantastic with younger voters especially for being a Republican.
There is something hilariously karmic about how the DNC mocked a little kid for falling asleep late one night, and that same kid grew up into being the architect of their demise through sheer power of Zoomer knowledge.

LOOK OUT! HE'S GOT AN MBA!
They fucking deserve it. They were literally screaming that Baron should be raped and murdered on Twitter for years on end.
I hope that one day, on a private discord server, after a long night playing Stellaris, Tropico, Anno , Hearts Of Iorn 4, one of the good Total War games, or some other empire building game; the little known user "TheRedBaron69" realized that the Left would have to be destroyed, and they aren't nearly as clever as they think they are.
Yeah, people were giving Vivek a lot of credit for this, and he has a good social media mechanism, but Baron is the one in Donald's ear.
We went from radio, to TV, to (Internet) radio again. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
It's "audio only entertainment." People go where the entertainment actually is. There's nothing magic about it.
Exactly. One example is AM radio: Normies think it's only for a highly niche audience and weather bulletins, but Rush Limbaugh had a successful show on it that millions listened to. I think Sean Hannity is still on it.
Of course the left knows this and works day and night to block people from "unapproved" or "subversive" entertainment. They even pressured the EIB network to stop broadcasting Rush.
To be honest, this is the first time in decades that communication has been open enough for non-overton conservativism to appear in the discourse, and the first time in nearly 100 years that alternative media managed to take route without being controlled or destroyed by the government.
That being said, (when) are we going to see a crackdown on podcasting and more censorship?
They would have to build a federal regulator for both the internet and speech. They've tried it several times, but it's failed in each case.
