- From Wikipedia:
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 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.[1][2] 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.[3]
