Since unsurprisingly the Redscare people are going fash, it would be good to know who's a grifter and who's not. What's your predictions?

My predictions:


Grifters:

  1. Zizek
  2. AOC
  3. 1-2 from Cumtown (it's anyone's guess)

Not Grifters

  1. The Deprogram Boys (ok I'm still in honeymoon)
  2. Jezza (obviously)
  3. Richard Wolfe & Harriet Fraad
  4. Viki1999

Young podcasters who did absolutely nothing in their 20s and early 30s but podcast. There's no real jump to mainstream media for most of them. They can't podcast the same show forever and probably don't have any more fresh ideas in them. Once their livelihood starts to go under, they'll become more reactionary. A systemic change that results in them not podcasting will be a threat to them. They'll be resentful of new voices because that means the old voices aren't marketable anymore. The idea of going back to a "real job" is frightful.
