Chen Weihua liked Hakim’s tweet about getting him on the podcast on April 18 too:

          The only reason I could see that is maybe it wouldn’t look good for Chen, a state official, to go onto a podcast that has dick jokes and stuff, which is unfortunate, Chen is quite funny

            I like the Deprogram but are there any funny communist podcast that aren’t so “bro-y”? It’s hard to radicalize female friends that have trouble reading when the only podcasts I can find are dominated by men.

              Yeah thats a problem, they have a couple of good episodes with ladies like Izdihar and LunaOi but definitely its very “bro-y” like you said.

                Well that kind of feels unavoidable seeing as how it’s run by three men having fun. I don’t see how’s that’s a problem with it especially as it’s “good fun” bro-y, and not “misogyny” bro-y. Though a womens marxist podcast would be a great idea.

                There’s never been a piece of media with 100% audience relatability.

                  Being bro-y isn’t a problem if your intended audience is bros. It would just be nice to also have a funny communist podcast that is more accessible to women and queer people who are put off by bro humor.
