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.

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!

Join them for a guided tour of the scandal-ridden NYC political landscape where Zohran Mamdani emerged as a frontrunner and why Trump is “big mad” about it. Cameos by: Dipset, an army of feral cats, Democratic Socialists of America, vegan mysticism, and The Warriors. Let your haters become your waiters on this very special NYC-themed episode of PTI.

Everywhere you turn these days, it seems there’s another Republican staffer glazing Hitler. Jared and Mike break down why exactly this keeps happening – from the big GOP group chat, the Nazi flag caught on camera, and Paul Ingrassia’s faceplant in D.C. – and then check out some fresh apologist spin from repeat PTI offender Katherine Dee. The hosts also take a look at the "No Kings" rallies, the liberation of George Santos, and questions submitted by our listeners.

Jared and Mike catch up on MAGA’s witch hunt for "Antifa" terrorists and find that it isn’t going particularly well. The White House has leaned on laughable influencers to persuade the public that Antifa actually exists and that protesters wearing Cookie Monster and Barney the Dinosaur costumes are proof of the problem. The guys play audio from an insane hype reel created by the White House and hear from Daryle Lamont Jenkins, who Andy Ngo since claimed is the "main leader" of Antifa.
In the second half of this episode, the PTI crew details the history of "The Turner Diaries": an infamous white supremacist book that has inspired deadly acts of racist terrorism. They spoke to Kelvin Pierce, the son of William Luther Pierce, the prominent neo-Nazi who wrote the book, and hear how he rejected his father’s ideology and worked to build a different world.

Laura Loomer has not-so-quietly emerged as one of the most influential figures in MAGA media, but who the hell is she and where did she come from? This episode seeks to explain how a person who is now known for eating dog food on camera came to wield so much power over one of the most powerful countries in the history of the world.
Will Sommer, a reporter for The Bulwark, joined Jared and Mike to dive deep into Laura’s prolific history as an attention-seeking influencer and bigoted far-right activist, covering everything from her tumultuous childhood to her notorious relationship to President Trump. They revisited the deep cuts and lost lore from Loomer's career, like the fact a guy lost part of his pinky finger when she handcuffed herself to Twitter's NYC office in 2018.
The episode also features a cameo from Nathan Bernard, who found himself at the center of one of Laura’s many legal dramas.

Jared and Mike discuss the cohort of right-wing influencers who have flocked to Portland to help the Trump Administration manufacture outrage against anti-ICE protesters resisting the federal occupation of their city. They take a closer look at Nick Sortor, who the White House has elevated as a mini-martyr. The guys also talk about sombrero memes, the straightest man in DC, and more.

Gillian Branstetter joins to talk about MAGA's hyper-fixation on transgender people and the movement's warpath against them. We discuss right-wing media's use of trans people as scapegoats, false claims that trans people are radical and violent, and more.

Jared and Mike read from what may end up being the most batshit insane column of 2025–The Daily Caller’s “Enough is enough… I choose VIOLENCE” by “writer, drinker” Geoffrey Ingersoll. The guys pair Ingersoll’s words with the reporting on real life violence from ICE. They also break down Trump’s new fascination with so-called med beds, check in on the growing conspiracy theory that Erika Kirk killed her husband, and struggle to understand a QAnon influencer’s belief that Jon Benet Ramsey never died and became Erika Kirk.

Christopher Mathias, a longtime friend of the show and a journalist who has covered far-right movements in the United States, joins to talk about the origins of the right-wing panic surrounding antifascist activism in the United States. We also talked about the Trump's executive orders targeting "antifa," a questionable study claiming that left-wing terrorism is rising in the US, and why today's antifascist panic feels more alarming than its prior iterations.

In an absolutely jam-packed premium episode, Jared and Mike lay out the biography of Dave Rubin, the ex-progressive turned reactionary internet performer and tequila salesman. The guys examine the phenomenon of this unsavory flavor of grifter, answer listener questions, and report out what we know about the alleged intimate relationship between antisemite Sam Hyde and Chaya Raichik, the Jewish woman behind the bigoted Libs of TikTok account. The hosts also review Stephen Miller’s palpably angry speech at Charlie Kirk’s memorial and Mike does his best impression of MAGA rapper Forgiato Blow.
Mike and Jared discuss how the Trump Administration and its allies have escalated their efforts to censor and criminalize their opponents in wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. They also talk about the ways leaders in business and media – even “anti-hate” nonprofits – have been spooked into self-censorship.
Then, Jared shares an interview he did with Kelly Jensen. She’s a former librarian and writer celebrated for her coverage of movements to ban books from libraries. Their conversation expands beyond books to cover the Right’s attacks on public institutions overall and what normal people can do about it. As you’d expect from a former librarian, Kelly put together an incredibly thorough reading list for listeners to check out.

Charlie Kirk went from a heavily mocked “lolcow” with astroturfed appeal to a hardened MAGA loyalist and bonafide celebrity known for publishing heavily edited debate-style clips to social media. On September 10, a man assassinated him, shooting him dead in front of a large crowd at Utah Valley University.
This episode examines both how Kirk died and how he lived. We talk about how Kirk created TPUSA, a key organizing arm of MAGA, how he contributed to the events of January 6, 2021, and his history of making bigoted remarks. The episode details how Kirk changed after the so-called "Groyper Wars" against Nick Fuentes’s followers and how the Right has responded to his killing.

They also discussed "Chorus" and shared an excerpt of their conversation with Luke Savage about the secretive dark money dispenser paying pro-Democrat social media influencers as much as $8,000 per month. The guys close things out with another featured reading -- this one is about Philadelphia sports: "JACK POSOBIEC: The Phillies Karen and the death of American manhood — why we're losing our nation one surrender at a time."
Luke Savage, a writer and political analyst who has written for outlets like Jacobin and The New Statesman, joined the show to talk about none other than Matt “Matty” Yglesias, the influential, centrist pundit with a habit of getting things wrong. Matty also changes his opinions–sometimes abruptly. The “leftist hater brigade” also discussed the current state of liberal punditry and why it feels like we’re being forced back into the blogosphere days of the aughts.

We covered false rumors that Trump died, California Gov. Gavin Newsom emulating the president's social media stylings, and right-wing media outrage over a proposed change to Cracker Barrel's logo. We also examine a great work of conservative column writing: "Elon Musk, AI porn, and the new Tower of Babel."
Marisa Kabas, an independent journalist, joined the show to talk about the ongoing military occupation of Washington, DC, and Trump's threats to dispatch troops to other American cities like Chicago and New York City. The trio also discussed the concept of "performative cruelty" as it applies to the Trump Administration's actions surrounding federal layoffs, immigration enforcement, and more.

Anthony Cumia was once one of radio's most prolific shock-jocks, best known for co-hosting "Opie and Anthony" from 1995 to 2014. In recent years, however, you're more likely to find Cumia mulling around the white nationalist movement.
This episode examines Cumia's life and career, exploring the significant impacts he had on comedy, entertainment, and politics during his professional peak. The program also chronicles the collapse of his media stardom, controversies that continue to plague him, and his relationships within far-right extremist movements.
Mike and Jared were joined by Matt [Redacted], whose last name was withheld to shield him and his otherwise normal life from potential blowback from Cumia and his cult following of super fans.
Matt is launching a new podcast soon, called "The Virus." Check that out!
