My Shortpods (1~71)
My "fireside chats" from the Alt-Right and Affirmative Right Years
I started the Shortpod because most podcasts at the time were overlong and time-consuming (both to listen to and upload). The concept was to be both spontaneous and concise, with unscripted, lightly-edited takes on the events and issues of the day. Inevitably many of the takes turned out to be "off" or became dated, but on many issues I was right. Also, I was able, unlike many others commentators, to pursue a remarkably coherent and evolving line of thought through radically changing times. The podcasts collected here cover the period from 2017 to 2022 at Alternative Right and Affirmative Right.
