KrisPOddCast #12 - The James Somerton Scandal (Patreon)

I explain all this at the top of the video but I felt a need to speak on everything going on with youtuber James Somerton to all of you primarily because of our audiences notably having overlap for at least the past years. The two main videos about his plagiarism and misinformation are linked below and while in this podcast i summarize the situation i HIGHLY recommend you watch those theatrical length MP4s first if you havent already because they give the entire context in detail and i only really give brief summaries of various events not that well. I mulled over addressing this at the beginning of the week because i do have things to say but dont feel the need to make a spectacle out of it more than the rest of the internet already is so i decided privately here on patreon in a podcast was the best approach - plus i havent done a KPOD in a LONG while so why not give yall an early xmas gift? lmao. sorry, no segment times, this ones kinda all over the place.

TLDR: fuck that turtleneck wearing slug and id be very intrigued to hear any of yalls opinions on everything either as someone who liked his content, actively didnt (i know theres quite a few of you) or have never even heard of this grifter.
