My wife was asking for podcast recs. She’s an exvangelical lesbian who tends to pick up liberal takes through osmosis from her workmates.

If she’s into comedy, I definitely recommend TrueAnon, but that can be a tough sell sometimes. The Elon Musk series might be a good starting point. And as stated, Citations Needed is so good. Any episode, but just pick a topic that will interest her.
TrueAnon is both the main podcast that I want to share with all my friends, while at the same time know it is the hardest to pitch. So much nuance to their humor/sarcasm that has to either just “click” or require listening to enough episodes to understand when they are being serious (I still can’t tell sometimes with how well they just flow).
Very frustrating since I would love to talk about all the funny stuff and have my friends get references I make before I realize I made them. I have started archiving my favorite episodes (do this with other long running podcasts to keep on my mp3 player) with the hopes that I can more easily share them if the right moment comes up.
Excellent and underrated idea
I really like the “Lying Liz Wrecker Warren” episode, and honestly it might be the closest Brace has come to actually extolling communism since he said things like that rich people shouldn’t be able to vote (which I disagree with, but his heart’s in the right place)
