    054: Who the Hell is Matt Taibbi? feat. Eoin Higgins

    How did a once-celebrated critic of Wall Street end up advancing Elon Musk’s “anti-woke” agenda and defending MAGA? This episode retraced the life and career of Matt Taibbi to find out, featuring in-depth perspective from our guest Eoin Higgins. You’ll hear about Taibbi’s early years in Russia, his controversial comments about women, and his rise to prominence as a star writer at Rolling Stone. Then, you’ll hear about pivotal moments in his career that signaled his drift into reactionary politics and appeals to conservative audiences. Taibbi is one of the most successful journalists in the world, and his eagerness to punch left has earned him affection from a host of right-wing reactionaries. This episode of Posting Through It explores how he got there and what his transformation might reveal about today’s media ecosystem.

    053: Did Chuck Schumer Kill Woke? [Preview]

    Jared and Mike stare into the abyss as the Democrats squander all of the good vibes they inherited on election night over the shutdown negotiations. Later, they listen to Josh Hammer cry in constricting underwear on his Newsweek podcast about Washington Commanders fans booing down the Big Drumpf before introducing “Robby Latte,” an activist who goes around calling corporations, asking them to drop their DEI policies. Hammer and Robby Latte tackle the new question on the mind of MAGA: Is Woke Dead? The answer is complicated but the deeper truth is that Chuck Schumer killed it. He took the Amtrak down to D.C., fell asleep in his seat with a folded copy of Newsweek in his hands, and stabbed it in the heart.  Listen to the full episode on Patreon

    052: The Tradwife Influencers Who Want Your Daughters Young and Fertile feat. Madeline Peltz

    Jared and Mike welcome researcher and forthcoming author Madeline Peltz to talk about right-wing female influencer culture and the broader effort to recruit young and “fertile” women into the MAGA movement. The trio unpack the surreal online discourse surrounding Erika Kirk, her appearance alongside JD Vance, and the intense scrutiny of her fashion choices. They also dive into figures like Alex Clark, the influencer who urges young women to have children while remaining child-free herself, and Riley Gaines, best known for losing a race to a transgender swimmer and turning that moment into a political brand. Beyond individual personalities, the conversation explores what the “tradwife” aesthetic really represents — and how it ties into deeper ideological projects on the right. The episode also includes a look at the unfolding scandal at the Heritage Foundation, the latest conservative institution to confront the reality that it has a full-blown Nazi problem. No need to save yourself for marriage, this episode of "Posting Through It" is ready to recieve you!

    051: ..AND SO IT BEGINS! [Preview]

    Jared and Mike explore the salt mines and find that a lot of people are “big mad” about the MAGA bloodbath on election night. They break down the MAGA flop in New Jersey, where they had previously dispatched Jack Posobiec to rail against "Antifa," Jonathan Greenblatt’s weird Mamdani monitoring project, the freak out over Virginia's next attorney general, and Nick Fuentes' declaration that “MAGA is dead.” Plus, the guys check in on Jesse Singal’s anti-woke TERF podcast as they try to understand The Will Stancil Show.  And so it begins… right here on Posting Through It premium.

    050: How Will Stancil Became a Meme feat. Will Stancil

    Online can be a hellish place. In this episode, Jared and Mike dive into the darkest corners of the web with Will Stancil, a civil rights attorney recently turned into a literal cartoon by far-right extremists. After enduring years of online harassment, Stancil became the target of a Hitlerite activist Emily Youcis, whose mocking web animation has found unsettling popularity — even among powerful tech reactionaries like Marc Andreessen. Stancil unpacks what he’s been through, reflects on how to stay grounded amid relentless hate, and laughs at himself along the way. Plus: the trio swap thoughts on late-night snacking, favorite music, and disastrous first dates. It’s an episode that truly lives up to the Posting Through It name.

    049: We Gotta Free Kenneth Moron [Preview]

    Jared and Mike catch up on the latest content from Malaysian lolcow Ian Miles Cheong, who is not at all upset about someone creating a fake tweet to make fun of him. The guys move onto the likelihood that Trump will pursue a third term in office and question why so many pundits are waiting for the bad thing to happen–when it’s fairly obviously already here. They talk about Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson, and why something about Nick’s latest spate of media appearances feels forced. The guys wrap up with a little chat about Kenneth Moron (real name unimportant, honestly), who wants you to pay him money for being a total asshole. Donate now, sucka!

    047: Sir, Another Nazi Group Chat Story Has Hit the Timeline [Preview]

    Everywhere you turn these days, it seems there’s another Republican staffer glazing Hitler.
