I haven’t listened to LPOTL in about five years, and I was only really a listener for a two year period starting in 2013, but I remember that Kissel hosted a political show. Just looked it up, and he was still hosting it as of September of this year, with almost 750 episodes. I listened to two episodes, probably in 2014, and based on my hazy memory of that I’d call him a bizzaro left-libertarian type.
What I’m saying is, this isn’t a surprise.
Also I distinctly remember there was an early episode where they made a big deal out of them being a podcast with no corporate backing, and then sometime after I’d stopped listening I learned they made a deal to host their show exclusively on Spotify.
