I still listen to them, and subscribe to the Patreon, but their podcast has been getting weaker for a long time.
Like everyone else says, their golden era is 2016 to 2020. 2020 to now has been a slow decline, that accelerated as soon as Matt was hospitalized.
I mainly still subscribe and listen out of inertia. If Trump wins this election I expect the quality to go up a little, but without Matt this podcast is a hollow shell of its former self. The main things keeping me around are the occasional amazing guest, and their coverage of Israel.
Trueanon is much better in general, and Bad Hasbara usually does a better job of satisfying my need for anti Israel content. Starting Chapo now is like watching the last season of Lost, without the sunk cost of all the previous seasons, It's going to be confusing boring and lame, and you're not going to understand why it was popular in the first place.
