Does he know he can just call a press conference basically whenever as HHS secretary? Cabinet members don’t have to launch podcasts, they can just say stuff over a podium and actual professionals will make a bunch of podcasts for them out of the audio.

Yeah but this way he can profit more from the same words.

Podcasts also have a very intimate quality that creates connection and credibility in its listeners, that’s why the medium creates cult like followings. Shit it’s basically the same gimmick as FDRs fire side chats

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A cosy fire, and the dulcet tones of RFK jr.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I just shivered in disgust, well done

I hope he never clues-in that he could do-so!

He may simply be too retarded to understand the leverage he has.

That is a Good Thing.

You could do it without the slur.

Lara Trump, Katie Miller, RFK, the Trumpy boys, etc.

All while CBS and other organizations are being taken over by Trump's stooges.

They want to be the media.

Include topics like how a worm in brain makes everything better. How to fuck a whale for potency and liver from a freshly shot bear helps cure diabetes.

He's just ripping off the Brain Slug platform...

Wow all good answers. I submit: Ben Shapiro.

If we could somehow meld their three voices into one it would be the most cursed thing ever.

This is an acceptable use for AI.

[–] AverageEarthling@feddit.online 28 points 4 months ago

a podcast by a man that sounds like a garbage disposal full of chicken bones. just what we need.

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 21 points 4 months ago

Ironically titled "RFK Exposes Himself" to bring in all the closeted republicans

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 15 points 4 months ago

So he's writing his own deposition, which will be quoted from during his future criminal trial?

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 15 points 4 months ago

What a loser grifter.

ASMR for when you want to stay awake.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Is it gonna talk about every single thing he's said the last 20 years?

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

“Here’s what all those fat cats in Washington don’t want you to know!”

All those dumb fucks still act the same when they’re the fuckfaces running everything. Guess what, asshole: you are the establishment now.

Who the fuck wants to sit and listen to that voice in podcast form for hours on end?

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Woah you can't steal a plot line from The Boys. Unoriginal

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago

I should not listen to this but I kinda feel its going to be really funny.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Start with your own

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

If he's so sure that he can "expose" these "lies" he knows so much about, why doesn't he publish something that, you know, actually proves using research and actual science other than him going on a monologue about how he thinks he can actually compare apples to oranges?

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Had to double check this wasnt Not Not the Onion

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

To get back at Sesame Street for exposing his lies.
