  132: Some Kind of Cultural Civil War feat. Bobby Silverman

  Aug 17, 20261h 32mS2

  Tim Pool, the 40-year-old YouTuber who calls himself a "moderate," stormed off Jubilee's Youtube debate show "Surrounded" after someone called him a grifter, illustrating an increasingly evident truth about the modern MAGA movement: they may still have power, but America doesn't respect them anymore. Bobby Silverman , Posting Through It 's unofficial NYC and sports correspondent, returns to the show to lend his expertise on Pool. But before the guys talk about the aging "moderate" who debates like an eight year old, they break down how MAGA has spent the summer trying to ensnare the WNBA in its long-running "culture war" programming, in which they've tapped Enes Kanter to serve as a bludgeon in their war against transgender people. Never let them see you sweat. Especially when you're sweating into a beanie. Transition Music: “In the Shadows” by Stellarator

  131: Marijuana is Poisoning Brains at an Extraordinary Rate [Preview]

  Aug 13, 20265 minS2

  Listen to premium episodes on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit ~~ Imagine it: it's April 20th, and some of your UCLA classmates have gathered on the lawn to celebrate 420. The smell of skunk drifts over. You hear laughter crackling over reggae playing from an iPhone speaker. You know what you have to do. You call campus police. There are laws on the books for nuisances like these. In this Creamium edition of Posting Through It, Ben Shapiro calls the cops on you. You can't smoke weed here, dude — full stop. Jared and Mike ponder why marijuana-obsessed Shapiro can't hold onto his youthful audience, pick apart Mike Lindell's humiliating loss in the race for Minnesota governor, launch #ChudWatch on the news that Chud the Builder is free, and try to make sense of a weeks-long debate about burritos. Roll it, light it, smoke it — Posting Through It is back.

  130: What to Expect From Election Denialists in 2026 Midterms feat. Alex Kaplan & Kayla Gogarty

  Aug 10, 202654 minS2

  Everyone knows it's coming. The MAGA movement has spent years claiming that any election where Republican candidates lose must be fraudulent, and its top media figures have spent every election cycle since 2020 stoking doubts about the integrity of US democracy. There's no reason to think 2026 midterm elections will be any different. Jared and Mike are joined by Alex Kaplan and Kayla Gogarty , two researchers from Media Matters, to discuss what election denial activists have been getting up to in recent months and what we may see from right-wing media if Republican candidates take a beating at the ballot box this fall. They discuss some of the movement's key characters, their relationships to the White House, and the tactics they're pushing this time around. Remember Sidney Powell (aka "The Kraken") from 2020?

  129: Too Many Mules [Preview]

  Aug 6, 20263 minS2

  Support the show on Patreon to gain access to weekly premium episodes: patreon.com/postingthroughit ~~ The promo material for Dinesh D'Souza's 2022 film "2000 Mules" left out one key detail: the election security expert it hinges its core claims on believes in teleportation. Four years after D'Souza released his thoroughly debunked election-fraud exposé, the same people behind it are gearing up to release new material ahead of the 2026 midterms. Jared and Mike revisit the 2022 film to understand how it convinced a generation of Republicans that the 2020 election was stolen. Posting Through It finds "2000 Mules" looking and sounding more incoherent than ever — a film that conjures an entire conspiracy out of nothing, then pads it out with conservative media psychobabble. And somehow, still, no one has reckoned with the fact that Gregg Phillips, of True the Vote fame, believes he was involuntary teleported on at least two separate occasions. ...54,000 mules? What are we gonna do with all of those?

  128: OnlyChuds Conservatism

  Aug 3, 20261h 5mS2

  Is the MAGA media machine actually cracking up, or is it just taking a summer nap? Jared and Mike sift through new data reporting from The New York Times , and a truly staggering amount of cringe, to find out. View counts are dropping, engagement is cratering, and people are getting "the ick" from influencers like Benny Johnson. Amid this MAGA content recession, one unusual newcomer is growing her audience: self-styled "American Sweetheart" Savanna Cannon. First covered in The Bulwark , Cannon is producing racist Instagram content in apparent hopes of converting horny MAGA men into OnlyFans simps who will pay to watch her do anal. MAGA has also taken aim at rap music, claiming without evidence that the genre only succeeded in pop culture because of funding from since-shuttered USAID programs. If not for this secret USAID scheme, they suggest, maybe we'd all be line-dancing to country tunes right now. Imagine that!
