    Thank you for the added context. My most recent memory of Brand was his podcast “Under the Skin”, in which I remember him coming off like a leftist Joe Rogan (and I mean that as a compliment), at least when I listened. Sad to see there was all this darkness under his skin this whole time.

      I used to really enjoy his stuff a few years ago. He started inviting right wing people and conspiracy theorists on and he was genuinely trying to challenge their beliefs. Then I noticed it slowly turn from a light debate to a full promotion of these people.

      I’d already stopped listening by the time we got to Covid but I caught up with him early on and he was doing a whole anti mask thing which was so far from what he’d originally been supporting.
