the wat's new segment is so giggly. are there really gradations of vegan? isn't something vegan or not?

vic gets smoked, so to speak. funny! good talk, again.
wish the conversation had talked more about what the difference is between putting ideas into the world and marketing. there is a difference, but different perspectives on both how to recognize it in others and in ourselves would've been beneficial.

vic does a good job later on, on arguing for an actual web of anarchist projects, with people who don't like anarchy101 projects like crimethinc and agency etc taking responsibility for making those projects not the last place that beginners can be--that beginner spaces are important and that the point of criticizing them is not to hate on the projects (although that's fine too), but to remind and inform beginners that there's a lot more going on, if they want to dig.

the existence of finger sandwiches implies thumb salad, maybe.

I appreciated the segment on sensationalism

Repeated innuendo on how you pronounce foreign words ain't as funny from the outside as it seems to the hosts, so maybe a bit less of that would be good?

It's not a bit, they simply have trouble pronouncing it and are doing their best. It's left in so as not to seem sterile and overly scripted.

Then why am I not working on the A news Podcast!? Being from a non-English American background, I could pronounce all these exotic morphems without too much problems.

i agree, being ignorant americans is not funny at all. it would be entirely boring as an act and is not amusing (only embarrassing) to us. so we have to laugh at ourselves. you may join in laughing at us as much as you like, or not, obviously.

better pronouncers welcome to apply! (also have to have a sense of humor and an open schedule and some other things.)

definitely a good idea to stop chatting on twitter or wutever platform with chatbots or NPCs
