Submit Your Questions: Ask Us Anything #4
Hey there folks! It's been a while since we've done an "ask us anything" styled episode, so we're starting this thread to take your questions. Like last time, you're allowed to submit up to three questions and they can be about anything, whether it's related to the show or not. (If we get multiples of the same question, we may consolidate them.)
Our "Platinum" and "Executive" tier Patreon members get the first opportunity to submit questions. If we don't get many submissions over the next few days, we may open it up to the rest of our subscribers.
If you'd like to submit a question, you can share it as a comment on this post or email it to us at shtpostpodcast@gmail.com. (You can also record your question as a Voice Memo on your phone and email it to us, if you'd like to hear your voice on the episode!)
Deadline: May 27, 12pm Central Time

Have you guys considered doing an episode on the whole "dissident right" sphere? I know you've occasionally brought up some people in that space (Yarvin, Red Scare), but they have enough influence among certain prominent wings of the far-right (Vance, some tech guys like Andreessen and Thiel, a lot of the more "intellectual" pundit/academic types) to where I think they'd warrant an episode. Thinking of people like Bronze Age Pervert, Steve Sailer, and that whole world of accounts (mostly anon/pseudonymous accounts) + the Claremont Institute types for instance. Lots of influence there from the old-timey white nationalists/phrenologists (Sailer, Brimelow - who I don't think you need to introduce at least, Jared Taylor) too. Up until the 2024 election which utterly broke me, I had a Twitter alt that I pretty much just used to keep track on the far-right, and especially these guys, and watching them attain genuine reach in the GOP was terrifying beyond words. Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson both interviewing Sailer felt like a 10-alarm fire moment to me, and that was before Vance got the VP nod.
Do either of you feel like the midterms are being looked at as though if the Dems win, sanity will return. I have a concern that once the midterms are over, a completely lame duck Trump will let some truly unhinged shit fly. For example, if Iran is still ongoing, I hate to think what he'll try in December. Don't want to sound Cheeto Drumpf, but I don't think we've hit peak unhinged yet.
When you produce the Cernovich episode, can I play act a Weird Mike voice over? I’ll sound like Jamie Foxx imitating Mike Tyson…
This one’s for Mike. As I’m posting this game 4 of the Knicks and Cav’s is starting. Who would you rather see them go up against in the finals. Spurs or OKC. Then if the Knicks happen to win the NBA title. How cringe will it be for you to see James Dolan accept the championship trophy and give a speech lol
Also, for Mike: I appreciate that you featured black metal as a music recommendation, even if I’m not a Liturgy fan. Do you still keep up with new releases in that subgenre?
As someone who likes to eat my feelings when contemplating the rise of the far right in America and elsewhere: what are your favorite comfort foods? Either stuff you like to make or stuff you like to order
Jared I know you’ve talked about being a cyclist. I’m pretty big into cycling myself living in Colorado. How many times a week you get out and ride a bike. How far do you usually go. You ride trails, road, gravel or a combination. Also what brand of bike do you have
Jared I know you used to battle the Nazis of The Shed on Twitter back in the day. Do you know what happened to them
I’m sure you’ve been asked before but: Start of your day, roll out of bed and put on the coffee-what’s the first news source you check? Who do you think does the best in-depth coverage? Any up-and-coming outlets you think deserve a shout? What do you put in your coffee? Do you like questions?
Just wondering what your thoughts on why it feels like we haven’t heard more about Charlie Kirk’s shooter? It’s been ten months and I think I expected a lot more commentary about the shooter? Also, I know you normally focus on right wing folks, but would you ever consider a Who the Hell Is on someone like Hasan Piker? I’m too old for Twitch, but I see some of it reposted to YouTube. He seems to be getting more and more mainstream attention.
