      The podcast was called Leftovers. The purpose of the podcast was for Hasan to teach Ethan Klein and Ethan’s audience about Marxism and Leftism. I’ve met a guy who was a fan of Ethan Klein, say that he was turned onto the ideas of socialism from the podcast. Overall, I think the podcast had a positive impact.

      Ethan is now a self-proclaimed Zionist who had formerly lived in Israel for 7 years. His wife served in the IOF. Before October 7, he was flirting with the ideas of anti-zionism. After October 7, there was a falling out, the podcast ended, and now he harasses the friends of Hasan online, such as Frogan, a muslim woman who was a moderator for Hasan’s chat but now independent streamer.

      They had a brief “politics” podcast show for a year, it was called “leftovers” named so because ethan is so liberal and so yankee brain that he thought he was some kinda of socialist leftist. The show was only “good” when it was solely about dunking on conservatives, which hasan and ethan have in common, with hasan sprinkling some marxism here and there but it completely fell apart when the subject of real leftist politics came on, like socialism vs capitalism (ethan is now a big defender of capitalism) and palestine.
