Well sure, Chapo became hugely popular and neatly tracked the stunning re-emergence of a political left, and was written about endlessly in both positive and negative terms....but come on, we all know that 2017 was “the year of Missing Richard Simmons”! I mean, that’s a podcast that had real impact.

no. that is what people who read these websites instead of listening to those podcasts think of them.

as for me, I don’t listen to all of those podcasts very often but Libertarian isn’t exactly what comes to mind when one brings up Chapo or Cum Town lol

I dislike Rogan too, but really can’t argue with him being important when it comes to podcasts of the last decade. 

Yeah, I actively dislike Rogan but it’s basically criminal (podcast related pun intended) to not have him on here!

Pretty much this. AVClub is just the snarkier, dumber younger sibling of NPR and NYT now. For this website to deny the existence of Chapo Trap House, Cum Town, and Joe fucking Rogan (amongst many others) is both ridiculous and clearly because these shows do not fit the political agenda of this site.

How did "How Did That Get Made?" get left off? I guess because it's only one pick per contributor sadly. WTF is still the grandaddy in my opinion, even though I haven't heard it in forever. 

Reminder: This list and every Podmass is just AVClub recommending whatever fits their milquetoast neo-liberal agenda. Refer to comments section for what people actually are listening to and enjoying. 

The Humor, Investigative and Narrative Podcasts that defined the 2010s*

Agreed. At least Pod Save America didn’t make the list though 

Say what you will about the content, but not having Chapo Trap House on here for 2017 or 2018 is just wild. 

Bullshit. The ‘10s we’re about towns. Shittown, Cumtown, Hollwoodland Handbooktown, whatever show Paul F. Townkins has booked this week. Towns, man.

I feel like I’m watching the outtakes from a Chevy “Real People” commercial.

I honestly wouldn’t put it past Musk to decide to make a dash out of a rigid, brittle material that weighs 169.2 pounds per cubic foot.

Is, is that dash made out of marble?

Kept waiting to hear “Cybertruck” will premiere on NBC in Spring.  Of 1982.

I honestly thought it was a joke, a fake truck before the real one was trotted out there. But it doesn’t look to be the case, this is real.

I take back anything i ever said about the model s, x, and 3 looking ugly.
