“I’ve been a weekly listener of Useful Idiots since 2019. Back then, the show was funny and irreverent as its description claims. Between Matt and Katie, there was no subject that was safe from a cynical skewering, and the focus on our various domestic political absurdities kept listeners like me engaged. At a certain point in late 2021 or so, Matt clearly ran out of steam and quit the show, leaving Katie to figure things out with temporary host turned insufferable mainstay, Aaron Mate. Since then, the show has become a slog of Aaron’s foreign policy fixations as Katie seems increasingly uninvolved in the show’s production and execution. It’s mostly just Aaron ranting alongside random characters from across the globe who nod along and affirm his worldview. Since Oct 7, the show has been uniformly one-note, highlighting the tragedies unfolding in Gaza. As someone who is sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians, even I can only listen to the same talking points so many times. Irreverence at Useful Idiots has given way to sanctimonious, impotent virtue signaling.”
