134: Too Many Mules [UNLOCKED]

This episode was originally released to Patreon subscribers on Aug. 6, 2026. Jared is traveling to Minneapolis this weekend to cover a story for the show, so we're sharing this on the main feed.---The promo material for Dinesh D'Souza's 2022 film "2000 Mules" left out one key detail: the election security expert it hinges its core claims on believes in teleportation. Four years after D'Souza released his thoroughly debunked election-fraud exposé, the same people behind it are gearing up to release new material ahead of the 2026 midterms. Jared and Mike revisit the 2022 film to understand how it convinced a generation of Republicans that the 2020 election was stolen.Posting Through It finds "2000 Mules" looking and sounding more incoherent than ever — a film that conjures an entire conspiracy out of nothing, then pads it out with conservative media psychobabble. And somehow, still, no one has reckoned with the fact that Gregg Phillips, of True the Vote fame, sincerely believes he was involuntary teleported on at least two separate occasions....54,000 mules? What are we gonna do with all of those?

133: Anti-Woke Media and the Death of Jason Arday [Preview]

Listen to premium episodes on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit--Cambridge Professor Jason Arday was a Black scholar with a history of exaggerating events from his past and a plagiarizing in his work. He recently died amid the fallout of a media frenzy ignited by self-described "race realist" Nathan Cofnas. Mike and Jared discuss Arday's tragic story by examining the anti-woke media personalities like Jesse Singal, who legitimized a racist's outrage campaign against Arday in the name of reporting on the excesses of "wokeness."But first, your hosts review Candace Owens' "great debate" with a TPUSA-adjacent misogynist over whether Tyler Robinson actually killed Charlie Kirk. Spoiler: If the debate was an indication, TPUSA is in a heap of trouble.

132: Some Kind of Cultural Civil War feat. Bobby Silverman

Tim Pool, the 40-year-old YouTuber who calls himself a "moderate," stormed off Jubilee's Youtube debate show "Surrounded" after someone called him a grifter, illustrating an increasingly evident truth about the modern MAGA movement: they may still have power, but America doesn't respect them anymore.Bobby Silverman, Posting Through It's unofficial NYC and sports correspondent, returns to the show to lend his expertise on Pool. But before the guys talk about the aging "moderate" who debates like an eight year old, they break down how MAGA has spent the summer trying to ensnare the WNBA in its long-running "culture war" programming, in which they've tapped Enes Kanter to serve as a bludgeon in their war against transgender people.Never let them see you sweat.

131: Marijuana is Poisoning Brains at an Extraordinary Rate [Preview]

Listen to premium episodes on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit~~Imagine it: it's April 20th, and some of your UCLA classmates have gathered on the lawn to celebrate 420. The smell of skunk drifts over. You hear laughter crackling over reggae playing from an iPhone speaker. You know what you have to do. You call campus police. There are laws on the books for nuisances like these.In this Creamium edition of Posting Through It, Ben Shapiro calls the cops on you. You can't smoke weed here, dude — full stop. Jared and Mike ponder why marijuana-obsessed Shapiro can't hold onto his youthful audience, pick apart Mike Lindell's humiliating loss in the race for Minnesota governor, launch #ChudWatch on the news that Chud the Builder is free, and try to make sense of a weeks-long debate about burritos. Roll it, light it, smoke it — Posting Through It is back.

130: What to Expect From Election Denialists in 2026 Midterms feat. Alex Kaplan & Kayla Gogarty

Everyone knows it's coming. The MAGA movement has spent years claiming that any election where Republican candidates lose must be fraudulent, and its top media figures have spent every election cycle since 2020 stoking doubts about the integrity of US democracy. There's no reason to think 2026 midterm elections will be any different.Jared and Mike are joined by Alex Kaplan and Kayla Gogarty, two researchers from Media Matters, to discuss what election denial activists have been getting up to in recent months and what we may see from right-wing media if Republican candidates take a beating at the ballot box this fall. They discuss some of the movement's key characters, their relationships to the White House, and the tactics they're pushing this time around.Remember Sidney Powell (aka "The Kraken") from 2020?
