Chapo Trap House
(also referred to as
Chapo
) is an American
socialist
political comedy
podcast
launched in March 2016. The show is hosted by its three co-founders: Will Menaker, Matt Christman, and Felix Biederman. Amber A'Lee Frost and Virgil Texas joined as recurring co-hosts in November 2016, though the latter left the series in May 2021. Chris Wade has produced the show since November 2017, following the departure of original producer Brendan James.
Chapo Trap House
is aligned with the
dirtbag left
, a style of contentious left-wing political discourse that eschews civility in favor of casual, blunt, often vulgar expression.
The show has a
democratic-socialist
perspective, and its co-hosts are affiliated with the
Democratic Socialists of America
(DSA). The hosts are typically extremely critical of both the
Republican Party
and the
Democratic Party
, particularly its
centrist wing
.
Chapo
supported
Bernie Sanders
in his
first presidential campaign
in the
2016 Democratic presidential primaries
and his
second campaign
2020 Democratic presidential primaries
.
In 2018, an imprint of
Simon and Schuster
published
The Chapo Guide to Revolution
, co-written by five of the original hosts. The book debuted at number six on
The New York Times
Best Seller list
.
[4]
Content
[
edit
]
The
Chapo
hosts and producers identify with
radical
left-wing politics
and frequently deride
conservative
,
neoliberal
,
moderate
, and
liberal
pundits.
[5]
[6]
Writing for
The New York Times
,
Nikil Saval
called
Chapo Trap House
and its hosts "prime originators of the far left's liberal-bashing."
[7]
The
Pacific Standard
wrote:
Contemporary conservatism is the butt of many jokes on
Chapo
, but the harshest critiques are often saved for the
Democratic Party
(and for contemporary liberalism more generally).
Chapo
has managed to strip away the layers standard of political discourse to highlight the brutality behind policies such as "
double-tap
"
airstrikes
and for-profit health care.
[6]
Biederman said the show's audience is seeking alternatives to liberal media, which he calls "the dominion of either upper-middle-class smugness when it's even the least bit funny and insufferable self-righteousness when it's even the least bit conscious."
[8]
Similarly, Christman said that leftist perspectives in media tend toward either the "smug above-it-all snark of
The Daily Show
or the quaver-voiced earnestness of, like,
Chris Hedges
or something. Neither of those models offer the visceral thrill of listening to people who actually give a shit (as opposed to the wan liberalism of people who are mostly interested in showing how much smarter they are than
Republicans
)."
[8]
Menaker has said that
Chapo
is meant to be in "marked contrast to the utterly humorless and bloodless path that leads many people with liberal or leftist proclivities into the trap of living in constant fear of offending some group that you're not a part of, up to and including the
ruling class
."
[8]
Chapo Trap House
hosts Felix Biederman, Matt Christman, Amber A'Lee Frost, Virgil Texas, and Will Menaker (left to right) live at
The Bell House
in
New York City
in 2017
Chapo Trap House
is dense with
inside jokes
and hyper-specific references to ongoing political discussion on Twitter.
[9]
The hosts are associated with Twitter communities called "Left Twitter" and "
Weird Twitter
," a name used to describe a loose group of Twitter users known for
absurdist humor
.
[8]
[5]
Format and availability
[
edit
]
An episode of
Chapo Trap House
usually lasts between 60 and 80 minutes. Episodes are typically structured with a prepared "
cold open
," an interview with a guest, and commentary on current events. In post-production, relevant audio samples are interspersed into the episode's discussion.
[8]
The theme song?and inspiration for the show's title?is "SALUTE 2 EL CHAPO PART 1" by DJ Smokey.
[10]
The show has a reading series which usually features texts by conservative and neoliberal writers, such as
Ross Douthat
,
Ben Shapiro
,
Dennis Prager
, and
Rod Dreher
.
[8]
Weekly free episodes of the show are available via
SoundCloud
,
Spotify
, and
iTunes
, among other services. Subscribers who contribute at least $5 per month via
Patreon
gain access to additional weekly premium bonus episodes. By May 2017, the show generated more than $60,000 a month from subscribers,
[11]
and is as of September 2023 the third highest-grossing user on Patreon, earning over $180,000 per month,
[12]
having once been the highest-grossing user on Patreon.
[13]
Geek.com
cited the show's premium content as an example of a viable revenue model for new podcasters.
[14]
History
[
edit
]
Background and formation
[
edit
]
The three founding hosts met online through discussions on
Twitter
years prior to starting the podcast.
[6]
[8]
Under the usernames @willmenaker (Menaker); @cushbomb (Christman); and @ByYourLogic (Biederman, also formerly @swarthyvillain and @spookymuscleman), they developed followings for their political commentary and have been called "minor Twitter celebrities."
[8]
[15]
[5]
All had been politically motivated for several years.
[6]
The three first recorded together as guests on an episode of the podcast
Street Fight Radio
to mock the film
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
.
[16]
They had already discussed hosting a show together for some time, and, encouraged by positive reception to their
Street Fight
appearances, they created
Chapo Trap House
.
[8]
[6]
They chose the name
Chapo Trap House
in the first episode as a joking reference to the Mexican
drug lord
Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman
and a slang term for a
drug house
, intending the title to sound like the title of a
rap mixtape
.
[8]
[17]
Early years
[
edit
]
The show came to prominence during the
2016 Democratic Party presidential primary contest
between former United States Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton
and United States Senator
Bernie Sanders
. The show's left-wing content became popular with supporters of the
democratic socialist
Sanders.
[18]
The team behind the podcast has since expanded from the original three hosts. Brendan James joined as producer after appearing as a guest, and Virgil Texas and Amber A'Lee Frost joined the show as alternating co-hosts after the
2016 American presidential election
.
[17]
James left the show in November 2017, later being replaced by producer and writer Chris Wade.
[19]
The Chapo Guide to Revolution
[
edit
]
Biederman, Christman, James, Menaker, and Texas authored a satirical book about American politics,
The Chapo Guide to Revolution: A Manifesto Against Logic, Facts, and Reason
, published in August 2018 under the name Chapo Trap House. It debuted on
The New York Times
Best Seller list
at number 6 under the Hardcover Non-Fiction category and number 7 under the Combined Print & E-Book category.
[20]
[21]
2020 election
[
edit
]
During the
2020 United States presidential election cycle
,
Chapo Trap House
interviewed Democratic presidential candidates
Marianne Williamson
,
Andrew Yang
,
John Delaney
,
Joe Sestak
,
Tom Steyer
,
[22]
and
Bernie Sanders
.
[23]
In February 2020,
The New York Times
profiled the group's large live shows in
early Democratic Party primary
states, noting that they had "morphed into a touring political rally" for the
election of Bernie Sanders
.
[24]
Departure of Virgil Texas
[
edit
]
Virgil Texas started co-hosting the
Bad Faith
podcast with
Briahna Joy Gray
in September 2020.
[25]
[26]
In May 2021, it was announced that Texas was leaving
Chapo Trap House
. The podcast's Patreon page described the parting as amicable.
[27]
Hosts
[
edit
]
Will Menaker
[
edit
]
Will Menaker is one of three co-founders and regular co-hosts of
Chapo Trap House
. He has been described as the podcast's "planner" and "showrunner," often choosing the topics of discussion for each episode.
[28]
He was raised in a self-described liberal family on the
Upper West Side
of New York, composed of himself and his adoptive parents: Katherine Bouton, an editor at the
New York Times
, and
Daniel Menaker
, an editor at the
New Yorker
and Random House. After graduating from
Skidmore College
, Menaker worked at Liverwright, a
W.W. Norton
imprint, but left in 2016 when Chapo encountered commercial success.
[29]
[30]
[31]
Menaker has stated that the
Iraq War
and endorsements of the war by Congressional Democrats were the catalyst for his turning away from being a liberal Democrat to left-wing and socialist politics.
[29]
Matt Christman
[
edit
]
Matt Christman,
Chapo
co-founder and co-host, grew up in
Manitowoc, Wisconsin
. He described his household as essentially apolitical; his father listened to conservative talk radio and identified as a Republican, while his mother never outwardly expressed any political views; both avoided the topic of politics in discussions. His father died during his junior year of high school. Before his high school graduation, Christman experienced a sudden onset of severe back pain with no readily apparent external cause. He underwent an intensive diagnostic process (including a
spinal tap
and
MRI scans
), surgery, and months of physical therapy. He made a partial recovery but his condition progressed into
Brown-Sequard syndrome
. As a result, he continues to walk with a
limp
. In an interview with
CounterPunch
, Christman spoke about his experience and how it had impacted the course of his life and development of his worldview:
I left the hospital in a wheelchair and then I spent the next four/five months rehabbing to be able to stand and walk. And I went from having braces on both of my legs to just one, and I went from a wheelchair to the braces, to crutches, to a cane, within six months. Had to do a bunch of horrible, really grody stuff to my body. And at the end of it, I kind of hit a plateau where I now have a limp, still, because I have something called
Browns-Sequard syndrome
[
sic
], which is where the damage to your spine affects two halves differently. So my right leg is normal in terms of strength but it's completely numb all the time, like it's asleep. And then my left leg is very weak, and I drag it. It's been that way since this happened. Amber's theory is you see white males who are committed Leftists, and if they're serious about it, there’s something that happened that gave them a sense of real vulnerability. They don't take for granted their position anymore. I never thought about it that way. It was never a conscious thing. But when I look at my interests and my milieu, I think that theory is kind of persuasive. I just kind of laid low and felt vulnerable.
[32]
Christman attended
Carroll University
in Wisconsin.
[29]
A former active member of the
Democratic Socialists of America
(DSA), he participated in founding a local chapter when he lived in Cincinnati, Ohio.
[32]
Felix Biederman
[
edit
]
Felix Biederman,
Chapo
co-founder and co-host, was raised in the affluent, historically liberal neighborhood of
Hyde Park
in
Chicago
, and cites his upbringing in the city as motivating his criticism of the "establishment" Democratic party.
[6]
After attending the
University of St. Thomas
in Minnesota, he moved to New York to work as a freelance writer, often covering mixed-martial-arts for
Deadspin
and the
New York Observer
.
[33]
[34]
Reception
[
edit
]
Avid fans of
Chapo Trap House
are called Grey Wolves, a joke referencing the
neo-fascist
, nationalist Turkish movement
of the same name
.
[17]
A review of the second episode in
The A.V. Club
called the show "tremendously funny" and said "it feels like an absolutely essential listen." The reviewer cautioned prospective listeners that the show's left political perspective and amateur audio quality are "not for everyone," but said the hosts' "energy and desire to improve the political landscape of this country is not only unparalleled, but also contagious: if listening to this podcast doesn't make you want to become a more politically engaged person, it's hard to imagine what will."
[15]
A subsequent
A.V. Club
review of the seventh episode noted the show's marked improvements in audio quality and the hosts' newfound confidence and flow in discussion, while retaining the "raw energy and urgency that has fueled the show from the get-go."
[35]
The publication eventually named the episode of the show following the election of
Donald Trump
one of the best individual podcast episodes of the year 2016.
[36]
Mediaite
called the show "consistently, absurdly funny and impressively literate on the diverse subjects it tackles," citing the hosts' "breadth of awareness about (seemingly) everything that's been published in every media outlet for the past few decades, and a depth of knowledge on various, arcane subjects."
[5]
Paste
described the show as "not deliberately offensive, but unapologetically honest ... so hilarious and delightfully vulgar I can barely stand it."
[8]
Pacific Standard
wrote, "Whether you think
Chapo Trap House
and its fans are bullies or righteously hilarious seems to come down to whether you think calling a
Washington Post
reporter 'smooth brain' is an acceptable move within the political discourse."
[6]
The Irish Times
commended its "more bracing and venomous approach to politics" than other podcasts and named the show one of the best podcasts of 2016.
[37]
The Advocate
praised the show for its "scathing, hilarious, erudite analysis on politics and media from a far-left perspective," and favorably analogized the thrill of listening to how
Alex Jones
and
Rush Limbaugh
make their right-wing fans feel.
[38]
Comedy website
Splitsider
recommended the episode featuring video editor
Vic Berger
, who did an in-depth interview about his surreal
Vine
and
YouTube
shorts covering the 2016 presidential election season.
[39]
In a 2016 column,
Robby Soave
of
libertarian
magazine
Reason
criticized the show as "apparently a group therapy session for
Bernie bros
."
[40]
Soave wrote in reaction to host Will Menaker commenting on one of his tweets, saying that he believed Menaker had a hypocritical view of
free-speech
rights, and said the hosts "would gleefully applaud the silencing of everyone to their right."
[40]
Soave later appeared as a guest on a premium episode of the podcast, "17 ? The Road to Soavedom," in which he debated the hosts on freedom of speech in the media and the viability of
public education
.
[41]
The 2019
role-playing video game
Disco Elysium
features voice-acting cameos from Biederman, Christman, Menaker, and Texas.
[42]
The creators of the game, Studio ZA/UM, lauded the podcast on Twitter, saying they had been "huge [
Chapo
] fans since the beginning."
[43]
Political influence
[
edit
]
In March 2019, it was revealed former U.S. Senator from Alaska
Mike Gravel
filed for an
exploratory committee
regarding a possible 2020 presidential campaign after being convinced to run by students
David Oks
, Henry Williams, and Elijah Emery, who learned about Gravel from
Chapo Trap House
.
[44]
[45]
[46]
Gravel's formerly dormant Twitter account soon went viral after being used by the students to attack various politicians, including Democrats
Amy Klobuchar
,
Cory Booker
,
Joe Biden
, and
Kamala Harris
, in an effort to move discussion of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates leftward.
[45]
[46]
[47]
The
Mike Gravel campaign
performed an
AMA
on the r/Chapotraphouse
subreddit
on April 8, the day the campaign officially launched.
[48]
[49]
Italian weekly news magazine
L'espresso
attributed
Chapo Trap House
listenership with rising membership in the
Democratic Socialists of America
throughout early 2019, saying the podcast is
"[a]
real and physical program, which is bringing thousands of young Americans to subscribing themselves to the DSA: the young Democratic Socialists of America."
[50]
Critique of the Democratic Party
[
edit
]
During the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries,
The New York Times
profiled the
Chapo Trap House
hosts' characterizations of candidates challenging Vermont Senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, the hosts' preferred candidate. The hosts called supporters of former Vice President Joe Biden "gelatinous 100-year-olds," referred to former Mayor
Pete Buttigieg
as "a bloodless asexual," and said former Mayor
Michael Bloomberg
should lose "so badly that this midget gremlin won't even have a shot even with a trillion dollars." When the hosts mentioned the name of Massachusetts Senator and presidential candidate
Elizabeth Warren
during a live event, the crowd hissed. According to the article, "the Sanders campaign maintains a close relationship with the podcast. His senior adviser,
David Sirota
, and his national press secretary, Briahna Joy Gray, have also been on the podcast."
[51]
Describing the podcast's simultaneous intense criticism of the
Warren 2020 presidential campaign
and its associations with the Sanders campaign, Zach Beauchamp of
Vox
wrote, "If Sanders's fans are really serious about helping their guy, they need to think carefully about whether what they're doing is actually working."
[52]
[53]
On June 29, 2020,
Reddit
banned the unofficial
Chapo Trap House
subreddit, citing violations of Reddit's new community guidelines and the subreddit's persistent failure to moderate rule-breaking content.
[54]
[55]
The hosts of
Chapo Trap House
have frequently repudiated this subreddit as well.

WILL MENAKER: 'Finally, before we end the show, I wanna give a shout-out that's long overdue. I've been asked many times the theme song to the show, "SALUTE 2 EL CHAPO," where's it from? Finally gotta give a shout-out: DJ Smokey, in case you weren't aware of him. I was listening to a lot of his mixtapes when we did the first episode or around the time when the show was percolating in my mind, and I would say it was highly influential in the name choice.'
