One thing that I'm surprised is being left out is that the admins were doing outreach to various leftist groups, and they were able to get into a conversation with at least a chapter of was one of the more substantial ones (maybe PSL?) who then refused because of the website referencing El Chapo. They rightly decided it would be better for the site's public image to not have that name, and the site had somewhat grown apart from the podcast anyway.
