The Chapo Guide to Revolution
When he got asked to do another series, that was what he spinned-off. So it was basically out of something that he was already interested in that felt natural for him to talk about, that he had already started doing is basically a miniseries on our Patreon feed. We also have transcripts available at patreon.com/backstage. You're growing as a creator by listening to the show, so why not share the insights from this episode with another creator on Patreon or who is running a creative business. We'd love to have you as an active collaborator with Backstage with Patreon.
Felix Biederman
Never this high production under the actual show's name. We did the Presidents series, but that was outside of the show. So I think it is mostly just not try to force things, take what your interest is and try to drill it down to the most basic manifestation of it. Concepts don't have to be too high concept, and this is more my delineation between host and producer. I feel much more comfortable and confident on the history series, A, mostly because I get to write out everything that I say beforehand, which makes me feel, as a producer, much more in control of what's going on.
When to offer a member-exclusive content series
It's always good to have the Seeking Derangements crew come on our show because we know them. They know all our same jokes, they know all our same references. It's just going to be a good episode.
Political Positions
I think our pre-show promotional cycle also did pretty well. Me and Matt went pretty hard in trying to get the word out about this, and we can talk more about some of those strategies in a minute. On this week’s episode of the Backstage with Patreon podcast, Chris shares his wide-ranging experiences, including what it’s like managing Chapo’s Patreon community, which includes tens of thousands of members who rally around the show’s themes and anti-capitalist roots. In this episode, Chris Wade from Chapo Trap House shares his experiences hosting and producing podcasts, plus tips for how to cultivate a passionate member community. As with all the Chapo hosts, Biederman is sharply critical of mainstream Democrats deemed insufficiently supportive of socialism, in particular Hillary Clinton. Biederman also believes the drive to support Clinton because of the fear of Republican nominee Donald Trump demonstrated the failure of mainstream Democratic Party ideology and tactics.

Democrats and Clintons
But solely developed from us trying to wrap our heads around it into basically the history of the United States as told through the Office of Presidency. That was a lot of me writing basic background scripts and then him going off of it. The show has an democratic-socialist perspective, and its co-hosts are affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The hosts are typically extremely critical of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, particularly its centrist wing.
Episodes
Whereas the boys, the other three boys have much better improvisational riffs on the main show, and so that's much more the mode that they feel comfortable with. So just not trying to force anything. Letting things come to you and just following where those impulses take you. He got fascinated with shows like This Is Us, and there's a show called Fellowship of Dads or Brotherhood of Dads, or so, kind of what some people would say bland TV dramas on Network. And so he started doing a series of that on the show basically because it was early pandemic and he was bored, called This Is Sus.
And now that we also have an audience, people have listened to us do a history series before, we have a built-in group of people that we can trust will follow us to something a little more esoteric, a little more obscure. In ten episodes, hosts Matt Christman and Chris Wade will guide listeners from Luther’s 95 Theses to the English Glorious Revolution, and all the blood spilled in between, with their signature mix of historical analysis and ribald humor. Find all episodes of Hell on Earth here. Hell on Earth will tell the story of the Thirty Years War, the cataclysmic outbreak of violence in central Europe that lasted from 1618–1648. It’s the story of the long crisis of the 17th century, the birth of Protestantism and the collapse of Catholic Christendom, and ultimately, the gleaming T-800 Terminator skeleton of Capitalism emerging from the rotting corpse of Feudalism. It’s a story of lurid violence from a bygone age, of hot death on the battlefield, and cool intrigue in the palaces of Kings and Emperors.
Less directly friends, but certainly people who we recognized as colleagues. I'm a big fan of the QAnon Anonymous podcast who came up starting to really focus in on and examining QAnon and other modern conspiratorial thinking, and seeing all these people. And there are several more shows like that.

Follow the link in the episode notes and you can get answers to your follow-up questions directly from the guests and weigh in on what topics we'll be covering next. And then, yeah, I mean, I said it at the very end of the pitch there, just also really trying to hammer home, "Folks, it's Game of Thrones." It's like a Game of Thrones style story of acts of violence and courtly intrigue and there's magic and sorcery. I mean, not real, but these people believed it was real. And then once we started building it, trying to figure out ins with good characters and interesting plot arcs for individuals, even though we're trying to tell a structural history because we know that's what hooks people into these kinds of stories.
That's a pretty easy sell to any audience that's remotely interested in history and American politics. The presidents, I can name almost all of them off the top of my head. I know basic facts about most of them. I have an easy in to figure out like, "Oh, I'd be interested in this history show," if I'm interested in history as an audience member. So once we did that, we were like, "All right, now that we have the muscle built up from doing this show, we can do something a little more esoteric."
