Usually with podcasts you can pick it up fairly quickly but I have been listening to them years and it hasnt smacked me in the face yet. I just started the blindboy podcast and he is pretty good on some stuff but overtly left leaning from what I have heard so far. Jordan Peterson is like a touch point for a lot of people. Take his political and religious views out and I can listen to him as he is interesting on certain topics. I dunno maybe I am just too thick to notice whether someone is left leaning or right leaning unless there are very clear on it. As you said, its the best sports podcast out there and that is why I listen to it.

Arghus wrote: » It just means that the usual bolloxology that fills up elsewhere on the site is here now too. I wouldn't say any veil has slipped with the lads in relation to how they talk about political or cultural hot topics. They've been pretty consistent in all of the fourteen years I've been listening to them. Everything sounds like a "left wing echo chamber" if you're to the right of it. And if you post about it on boards.ie chances are you are pretty far to that right IMO. Looking back on that Peterson talk. I thought it was a really good example of Ken not being afraid to make an ass of himself, almost on purpose, in order to stimulate a worthwhile conversation. Ken rhymed off his hot-takes on Peterson and Laura Kennedy examined them and tried to put what Peterson was saying in a bit of a wider context. I thought it was one of the fairer examples of a discussion about Peterson in the media at the time.

The absolute state of 90% of threads on the site with more than 100 replies. How this thread has stayed sane and relatively civil over the course of 10,000 posts is a minor Boards miracle.

Arghus wrote: » Rugby chat is an instant skip for me too, pure listening to explaining the mechanics of paint drying. The corportist vibe of a lot of their contributors makes their words sound like the sporting cousins of business BS speak - which gets to the heart of why I increasingly find myself disliking rugby more as the years go on. You listen to the bit at the start and the bit at the end and excise the Shane Horgan filler in the middle. He talks a lot. Does he ever say anything interesting? Genuine question.

There's been a few fellas in this thread getting fierce upset with the lads over their perceived leftiness.
