Biography
Felix Biederman is one of the hosts of Chapo Trap House.
The Programme
The show’s feed lists Chapo Trap House as its own author and points to Patreon as its home. There is no network, publisher or advertiser in the metadata — the programme is self-published and paid for by subscribers directly.
The feed retains a rolling window of 500 episodes, running from number 494 in February 2021 to number 1,067 on 1 September 2026. The numbering documents what the window does not: a continuous run of more than a thousand episodes.
Digital Political Impact
- An example of the model this site tracks: political comedy funded entirely by listener subscription, with no advertising and no institutional publisher
- The programme’s scale: over a thousand numbered episodes, published continuously, distributed from its own feed
What Is Not Established Here
Removed in the citation audit: his birth year; his upbringing in Chicago and his university; his relocation to New York; the March 2016 launch date of the podcast; his affiliation with the Democratic Socialists of America; his writing and documentary narration work and his coverage of mixed martial arts. The feed establishes what the show is, how it is funded and how long it has run; it says nothing about the individual hosts, and nothing about them is asserted here beyond his being one of them.
