    107: With Liberals Like These, Who Needs Conservatives? feat. Anthony Fisher [Preview]

    Listen to the full episode on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit Jared and Mike welcome MSNow opinion editor Anthony Fisher to this week’s cremium episode to talk about an old friend of ours, Bill Maher, and a friend we haven’t really talked about before: Ministry mosh-pit beefcake John Fetterman.  The crew talks about a recent podcast featuring these brilliant, brave, heterodox liberals in conversation and what their popularity with Trump’s base says about them — and about the MAGA movement.  Anthony came from libertarian circles, and the discussion turns to how meekly libertarians abandoned their principles at the feet of Trump. Mike also talks about his recent trip to "Restoration 250": a surreal, under-attended Christian nationalist Lollapalooza funded by your tax dollars.  So sit back, open up a beer, and spend a little time with “Hitler McPedophile,” the man who will listen — if you’re only willing to speak to him.

    106: How Republicans Are Stacking the Deck Ahead of Midterms feat. Ari Berman

    How sick is our democracy right now? (Not in the skateboard-trick way.) Jared and Mike are joined by Ari Berman to find out. He’s the national voting rights correspondent at Mother Jones and one of the country’s leading reporters covering issues related to elections.  This episode reviews how recent Supreme Court decisions weakened the Voting Rights Act, why states like Tennessee have become a blueprint for dismantling majority-Black districts, and the contradiction between years of MAGA claims about “rigged elections” and the GOP’s open embrace of aggressive gerrymandering. Faithful Posting Through It listeners know this is a topic that has stressed out the hosts (especially Mike) for a long time. Viktor Orbán may have fallen in Hungary, but his vision of weakening a country’s democratic infrastructure to produce authoritarian outcomes is alive and well in the United States.

    105: Don Colossus Comes to Town [Preview]

    Jared and Mike hit Trump National Doral Miami to witness the unveiling of “Don Colossus,” a 22-foot, gold-covered Trump statue that seems to symbolize a particular affliction in MAGA’s character. (Look closer, Lenny!) They also talk about Poodle Room veteran Kash Patel’s balls-on-the-table stare-down with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, the grifty Trump phone, and infighting on the antisemitic flank of the GOP between Nick Fuentes and Dan Bilzerian over who is more of a fed.  Jared and Mike also talk about Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on a lovely media tour blaming social media bots for Israel’s unpopularity. The interview landed alongside a major The New York Times report on abuse allegations involving Palestinian prisoners, which sent pro-Israel influencers into immediate damage-control mode.  There’s never been a better time in America to flex nuts as a 22 foot golden man.

    104: The Last Day of Infowars feat. Dan Friesen from ‘Knowledge Fight’

    The notorious conspiracy website Infowars made its final broadcast on April 30, 2026 and hours later, the site went dark. Jared, Mike and this week's guest, Dan Friesen, co-host of the legendary and recently retired podcast Knowledge Fight, get together to talk about the closure of Infowars and the future of its founder, Alex Jones.  The guys review the final hours of Infowars' time on the air and reflect on the downfall of Jones and his media empire. How did this prolific kingmaker and agenda-setter in far-right media become an afterthought? Full warning: This is a real "upper decker" of an episode.

    103: The ‘Grift Industrial Complex’ Comes for The Daily Wire [Preview]

    Listen to the full episode on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit Jared and Mike dig into reports of chaos at The Daily Wire after Candace Owens — once one of its top stars — claimed the company enacted a “bloodbath” of layoffs affecting as much as 60% of its staff. (The Daily Wire confirmed the layoffs but denied they were as extensive as Owens claimed.) What followed was an unusual weekend of silence from Ben Shapiro and goat lover Matt Walsh.  The guys trace the rise of the conservative media empire from its LA roots and Facebook dominance to its overextended streaming ambitions, “anti-woke” consumer products, and increasingly shaky position inside the MAGA movement. Along the way, they examine how The Daily Wire’s obsession with culture war content, Israel, and respectability politics left it out of step with the audience it helped create.  Plus: Jared and Mike toast Eoin Higgins for his recent legal success against free speech warrior Matt Taibbi and say farewell to Laura Sennett of One People’s Project, who recently died. May she rest in power.  Links: Eoin's book: Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left One People's Project

    102: The 'MAHA' Movement is Getting Sick (of Trump) feat. Madeline Peltz

    The coalition of activists known as “Make America Healthy Again,” or MAHA, has emerged as a legitimate force in American politics and it’s hardly a given that they will remain aligned with President Trump and the Republican Party.  Researcher and reporter Madeline Peltz returns to Posting Through It to brief us on the MAHA movement and their mission–weighing in on how his diverse group can theoretically be pulled away from the GOP.  Madeline, Mike and Jared also analyze the “Netflix Monsters series-coded” life of MAHA’s figurehead, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The DMT, steroids and heroin-riddled political scion once severed off the penis of a raccoon to study it later.  It’s obviously a very impressive trick, but what does it say about his capacity to release his bountiful harvest all over the health of your loved ones?

    101: A Night to Remember [Preview]

    Mike and Jared review an unusually eventful White House Correspondents' Dinner, which abruptly ended after a man sprinted past a security checkpoint in hopes of finding and killing the man he saw as a "pedophile, rapist, and traitor": President Donald Trump. Then, they also check in on MAGA's defamatory claims that the Southern Poverty Law Center planned the deadly Unite the Right white supremacist gathering -- which has left the extremists who actually planned it befuddled.  Listen to the full episode on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit

    100: Billionaires Are Building Their Own Private 'Deep States' feat. Robert Silverman

    For the 100th episode of Posting Through It , Jared and Mike welcome back NYC correspondent Bobby Silverman to discuss a major investigation he co-bylined at WIRED magazine looking at how powerful individuals and companies are building their own surveillance networks — effectively creating their own private “deep states.” Bobby's story zeroes in on one such "panopticon," built around businesses tied to James Dolan, including Madison Square Garden. In one telling example, MSG allegedly tracked the movements of a trans woman whose presence they flagged as a concern. After that, the guys look at what might be next for a handful of prominent MAGA Internet personalities: Clavicular, Tim Pool, Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, and Dave Portnoy.
