New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Image in article is fair use. QPQ done.
ALT0 is verified and cited inline. I like ALT1 better for its brevity, but I'm concerned that the quote leaves off the rest of the logo: The only non-pedophile podcast focused on uncovering the truth of the Epstein conspiracy. What do you think? Perhaps add something after the quote, like: "the only non-pedophile podcast" to examine the ramifications of the Jeffrey Epstein case? Yoninah (talk) 19:33, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I think to over-explain it obfuscates the intentionally comedic nature of the podcast's tagline, i.e. that as the "only" anti-pedophile podcast, every other podcast is a "pro-pedophile" podcast. If you'd prefer a hook that talks about how the podcast examines the Epstein case, ALT0 or some variant of it is probably better. Morgan695 (talk) 20:45, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, I like ALT1. It doesn't have to say everything if it's trying to be hooky. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:10, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The hosts, who identify as Marxists

The provided citation doesn't provide evidence that they identify as Marxists. The source itself identifies them as Marxists, with no confirmation that they agree. There should be a better citation for such a charged claim. (I am completely unfamiliar with these people, so perhaps it's well known and they embrace the label, in which case it should be quite easy to properly cite.)DoctorCaligari (talk) 01:06, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s well known and spoken about in their podcast(which we can’t source on Wikipedia). It’s completely fine to be in the article as it’s substantiated by both the quoted source, content of the podcast, and the words of the hosts. The only one allowed to be used as source is the article linked, under WK:RS GonzoTribune (talk) 06:16, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
