I don’t hate the guy I just don’t find him funny anymore. And he always seems to reach really, really hard to attack communists even if it’s not called for or relevant.
Maybe he’ll become less shitty now that the threat is outside his door and the money tap to Bellingcat is cut off.
The material they cover on the pod is often interesting but I hate the banter, kind of hate the format where it’s Robert explaining stuff to some clueless liberal dork from Twitter who doesn’t know anything about the topic and really, REALLY hate the ads on his network. The pods advertised on those adbreaks should classify as cognitohazards
been listening to It Could Happen here semi-regularly since the election just to get their takes.
i suppose it’s less Evans and more the other hosts that love dunking on communism whenever possible.
I do remember Evans making pointless comments on BTB. usually just throwing “Stalin” or “Mao” in as frequently as fucking Hitler.
Maybe it was just me but when something “authoritarian” came up it seems 90% of the time he would connect it with a socialist state instead of like, every other possible state that did worse shit
Yuck. I only listen to it can happen here once in a while if I’ve run out of better stuff. The ones I’ve caught were some pretty great reporting though. One of the hosts (English accent guy, I forget) traveled with migrants trying to get to the US through South/Central America.
I haven’t heard much of this on BtB lately, but I do have an uncanny ability to tune things out.
Either way, there’s plenty of better stuff out there.

Fair. When’s the last time you listened to it? I haven’t heard anything egregious in a good long while, but I’m sure I’ve missed a decent amount too.

Yeah, James Stout is extremely legit. He’s done a bunch of on the ground praxis relating to migrants, and he’s a hell of a journalist.
So wait, what do you like about this guy or his content?
