For those of us attending SXSW, we’re used to being surrounded by crypto and tech bros. But this week, there was an event with a different audience: Chapo bros.
A welcome escape from blockchain chatter, the venue was roaring with laughter as the popular podcast Chapo Trap House live-recorded an episode at the Work In Progress: Powered by Patreon activation for SXSW this week.
The Chapo crew—co-hosts Will Menaker, Matt Christman, Felix Biederman, Amber Frost (who was absent from the event), and producer Chris Wade—is known online for its long-time support of the Bernie Sanders campaign, commentary on movies and historical events, and its use of “dirtbag” vulgar humor to promote leftist politics.
