On episode 286 Nick and Lottie discuss what journalist Naomi Klein refers to as trickle down identity politics. This form of identity politics, typified by people such as Hillary Clinton, prioritises achieving a more diverse range of people in positions of power, with the argument that if more people from marginalised groups get into positions of power, these benefits will eventually trickle down to that group as a whole.
This show is a 3CR Summer Special. We encourage everyone to listen to and support 3CR Community Radio! https://www.3cr.org.au/summerspecials2022-2023
On this episode we draw on Nick’s article Questioning Trickle Down Identity Politics: https://progressivepostings.wordpress.com/2021/02/26/idpols3/

We focus on representations of gender in ITYSL, with the show punching sideways on gender, challenging the behaviour of other men. We focus on how gender is portrayed in the sketches: Instagram, Game Night, Jamie Taco and Coffin Flop. Also covered is neurodiversity, introversion and empathy amongst ITYSL fans. The show is wrapped up by briefly indulging Nicks Andy Kaufman obsession, focusing on connections between Kaufman and ITYSL, with Kevin recommending the video The Other Tim From Allentown as an example of Kaufman-esque comedy from Tim Robinson: https://www.youtube.com/watch/1qLHb2GxL2Q We had two ITYSL discussions with Thats a Chunky and you can check out the other discussion, covering gender and the politics of the ITYSL fandom, Australian versus US comedy and references and more, on their show: https://anchor.fm/thats-a-chunky/episodes/Episode-39-Crossover-Episode-with-Progressive-Podcast-Australia-e1n4lq0 Music: ITYSL music from series 2 (Netflix), Alien by The Interrupters.

On episode 280 Nick and Lottie continue their obsession with I Think You Should Leave, a sketch comedy show on Netflix. We discuss some of our favourite sketches from series 1 and 2, creating and/or listening to political versus apolitical podcasts and some of our contributions to the ITYSL fandom. Lotties memes cover pinkwashing (specifically corporate co-opting of queer movements) and Nicks are on Duolingo. The sketches we discuss are piece of shit (our combined favourite series 2 sketch), photocopier (one of our biggest agreements in our series 1 rankings, Nick loves this one, Lottie not so much) and Laser Spine Specialists (our combined favourite series 1 sketch).
