    couple of interesting points:

    1. no idea what this podcast is, so this “backlash” is actually promoting the podcast
    2. maybe confirmation bias on my part, but it seems like this sort of bullshit backlash is towards women for the most part
    3. they should definitely dig him up and do it again
    4. they didnt even write the joke, just laughed at it, definitely some manufactured outrage

      They’re reasonably large. Enough to cross over with other really big left leaning podcasts. Also I’m kind of surprised anyone who would fret about a conservative backlash would advertise on it. I feel like they’ve called conservatives just straight out evil before. They’re not like, leftist, but they’re not sanitized centrism. What did Chewy think they were getting themselves into?
