uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Probably wouldn't even notice for a couple episodes if he was.

So we have an engineer and a semi-lawyer, who else would you put on there as your dream replacement for Liam? Can't be too funny because Alice is already class clown so to speak.

They could still have a wild card guy like Brace in Trueanon, Jake in Qanon Anonymous, or Henry in Last Podcast on the Left. That wild card guy just can't be obnoxious or derail the podcast. Maybe get some radical urbanist or a political economy nerd in terms of contribution, or just a non-obnoxious normal schmuck who will yell the same radical things I want to yell. Someone like Adam Conover or the Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't guy would be the ideal. When Alice has historian Patrick Wyman on Trash Future he's also a good fit for their dynamic.

Yeah my first thought was a radical urbanist too. Brace being on wtyp would be like the avengers of left podcasts soypoint-2

You don't need a replacement. The sweet spot for number of people in a podcast is two hosts plus the guest. Three hosts is already too crowded unless one of the host rarely talks and is more like a side commentator than an actual host.
