Criticizing anti-capitalism media for existing in a capitalistic system is literally the last panel. I’m sure we agree on most things if you listened to ICHH as well, so I’m not trying to argue or start a fight.
But Evans has to eat, pay rent and deserves to make profit off his time like the rest of us. Personally, I feel as if you’re falling into the “AoC/Bernie/Hasan has money and are hypocritical socialists” style trap, which is at best lazy and worst willfully ignorant of the context in which we all live.
The podcast wouldn’t exist without ads, so ads are a weird thing to complain about. It’s the message that is important and ads don’t diminish that anti capitalistic message.
I’ve been a Cooler Zone Media subscriber since they launched that and it’s so much better without ads. I consumed a bunch of their content so $5 is well worth it for me
I’m a fan of ICHH, but my god, for an anticapitalist podcast they really need to lay off the ads just a little bit
This has nothing to do with what I said

I would too but afaik its only available on apple podcasts :(
May I know what do you mean?
The podcast is critical of corpratism and consumerism, but they run like 5 minutes of ads every 10 minutes. Its excessive
It’s not like they are unskippable ads, so i don’t think it’s as bad as YouTube or Hulu or whatever.
It’s an I Heart Radio podcast right? I♡R suuuuuvks.
I love Cool Zone Media’s output, but their parent company is exhausting.
