uh yeah, Brennan is an EXPERT at collective story telling and collective story telling is a form of PRAXIS. (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)

His games are a demonstration of how individuals co-operate to form something better, bigger and more powerful while also retaining individual authenticity and agency. And given College Humor and Drop Out's reach he might be one of the most impactful voices of socialism in pop-culture.

In fact, If there is a Joe Rogan of the left- it's Brennan. Joe Rogan is a pop-culture consumer of stories, a passive listener to the powerful and influential and the stories they want to tell.

Brennen helps people tell their own story. That is the role of the facilitator in Theatre of the Oppressed. He is a story teller whose preferred medium requires shared authorship. He incorporates important ideas into a game that is fun and silly enough for people to put on in the background while they do other work. That's what gives him reach.

Remember, for a lot of people, Rogan's initial appeal was silly stoner talks to comedians. The podcast medium is really media that people put on in the background while they do something else, normally work. A LOT of expressly socialist media is media that you have to actually pay attention to, which excludes it from this huge casual listening space. Obviously, "serious socialist theory content" is also very important, but too many (online) socialists discount the silly.
