''Chapo Trap House'' is an American political [[podcast]] founded in March 2016 and hosted by Will Menaker, Matt Christman, Felix Biederman, Amber A'Lee Frost, and Virgil Texas. The show is produced by Chris Wade and formerly by Brendan James. The podcast is strongly associated with the [[Dirty Communists|dirtbag left]], a term coined by Frost to refer to a style of contentious [[left-wing]] political discourse that eschews civility in favor of a more casual—and often vulgar—speaking style.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newyorker.com/culture/persons-of-interest/what-will-become-of-the-dirtbag-left |title=What Will Become of the Dirtbag Left? |last=Tolentino |first=Jia |website=The New Yorker |language=en |access-date=2020-03-02}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Bowles |first=Nellie |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/29/us/politics/bernie-sanders-chapo-trap-house.html |title=The Pied Pipers of the Dirtbag Left Want to Lead Everyone to Bernie Sanders |date=2020-02-29 |work=The New York Times |access-date=2020-03-02 |language=en |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The show's creators published ''The Chapo Guide to Revolution'' in August 2018, with the book debuting at number six on ''The New York Times'' Best Seller list.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/books/best-sellers/2018/09/09/hardcover-nonfiction/ |title=Hardcover Nonfiction Books – Best Sellers – Sept. 9, 2018 – The New York Times |work=The New York Times |access-date=2020-03-02 |language=en |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> |
