    Because they’re giant libs, and the pod has never been good anyway. WTYP is one of the weirdest fucking interests I’ve seen people on this site share. Watching a couple episodes of it made me feel like I’d just realized all my friends are really into My Little Pony or something. Like, harmless, but god this is awful.

      I think it got a lot of goodwill by being derived from Rocz’s solo YouTube stuff which was actually pretty good, class conscious urban development and planning stuff. His dry delivery kinda gave him the air of a based lefty Plinkett. Genuinely sad that the YouTube stuff has been left to die in service of the podcast.

        Still waiting for that next episode. His cities skylines stuff got recommended on the sub if I remember correctly and was a big moment for me understanding more about better urban planning and how it impacts our material conditions.

      I think the first few episodes had a lot of promise, and the Atmospheric Railway episode has a similar energy to it to early Chapo bits like when they talked about the Noid. But where Chapo evolved into something consistently decent WTYP burned out its energy and evolved into something consistently boring, honestly idk why people listen to it any more either.

      this

      Never seen a good thing said about it here and I don’t think I was actually able to ever make it through an episode. There might be one ok person on the pod if I’m thinking of the right guy but the pod itself was really bad.
