> Honestly, I think any complaints about the "politics" in his netcasts says more about the person complaining than about the actual contents of his podcasts.

This is right. I don't want to paint with too broad a brush, but in my, admittedly anecdotal, experience a lot of folks who are on the right politically really have trouble consuming content if they perceive any degree of left wing bias. Like if they know the star of a movie has done some left wing activism they struggle to enjoy the movie even if the movie itself is in no way political. So the fact that they know Laporte is a liberal they become extremely sensitive to any topic that could be perceived as political.

I'm sure this isn't just a right wing thing, but for various reasons the people I know who struggle with it are all on the right.
