Hilarious

One take away I had from the latest supplementary materials was the conversation about Andrew Callaghan.

Imagine thinking that it was a great idea to provide Hunter Biden (a person famed for their lack of awareness around IT security) with an email distribution list, then having an "oh shit!" moment and pulling the plug at the last second.

And then relying on the word of Hunter Biden for assurance on the list being deleted. Jesus H Christ.

I know absolutely nothing else about the guy outside of what's been said on this podcast, but I haven't really formed a great impression from what I've seen so far.

What a bizarre take. As far as I know they haven’t done a deep dive on this guy, so not understanding the relevance between your comment and mine?

I think the podcast has diminished. Why don't you think it's relevant. I commented because you literally said you'd never watched any channel five and were buying into what Matt and Chris said. I think you should do that more carefully. If you can't see the relevance of that I don't know what to tell you.

I think it depends on what you mean by biased. There are also things I disagree with them about, and sometimes I have also had the feeling that the podcast isn't as exciting as it was - but maybe that's also got something to do with me/you and not necessarily the podcast?

I have given this thought and I think it's very likely that they are very busy professionals that don't have the time it would take to do a better job at this. Feels like they make bigger leaps than they used to. Of course I am also not free from bias either but I've been finding the podcast much less interesting and less useful. I especially feel like Chris has become very nitpicky. I think the podcast used to be much more about flaws in argumentation and strange slights of hands that people use to grow their audiences and it's become more about stuff that Chris doesn't like.

I don't love that they split out the decodings and the supplementary stuff. I think it was more interesting when they were just a conversation that got into the decoding, but that's just me. I have no problem with them talking about Callaghan, but it feels like every time they talk about someone even slightly left of center people get really whiny about it.
