I don't know anything about this guy other than that his podcast exists. I can never tell if these posts are a joke or not
::: spoiler lifting the veil of irony
Most of the millennial leftist podcast culture is like this. Brace Belden regularly makes a lot of jokes about being various characters as a bit in the podcast. He pretended to be a software CEO called Racial Jake (Rachel Jake) when he got interviewed by the Falun Gong. He's got a cryptobro gremlin persona called the Coindexter. A gourmet enjoyer called the Gourmand. He once opened a podcast episode and introduced himself as Adolf Hitler. The thing is, his actual, honest to God, real life story is also so bizarre and something out of a Pynchon novel (he was addicted to hard drugs, was reading a lot of Mao and other leftist theory, flew to Syria when he heard about the YPG, then fought there for a few years before coming back to the US and becoming a labor organizer) so it becomes a bit hard to tell when he's telling a real anecdote or if he's doing a bit.
He's had a recurring bit about generating AI porn of John Fetterman for the last couple of months that I could've sworn was just a joke, but it became apparent that he wasn't kidding when he actually showed it to Hasan on camera. You just can't really tell lol
Huh, what a character
Spoiler: the guy in the photo in the jacket is actually Hollywood director Woody Allen.
He's the dark cowboy.
He would never hang out with epstein unless it was to draw his weapon and fire upon him.
like so:
Brace Belden is actually an alter ego of the software entrepreneur Rachel Jake.
what the ACTUAL fuck. how did this ever happen. incredible.
You're gonna be quite surprised to learn who he just talked with on Macrodosing.
i like how every time he does a video interview, he’s in an all white room. i like to imagine his whole apartment is organized by color, like there’s a room where everything is red, a room where everything is blue, etc. regardless of each object’s function or purpose
He is literally always joking. This man is incapable of being serious
He actually did this interview out of character

Nah he's just playing his "Brace Belden" character
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
On the podcast he does have some moments where he gives genuine takes.
If you listen to their episodes concerning the actual victims and deeds of Epstein, his change in tone and demeanor is sometimes so stark that it's a bit scary. He sounds deeply emotional, empathetic and filled with a burning rage against it all.
Honestly, True Anon would not be bearable if Brace wasn't turning the goofball up to 11 sometimes. There is only so much reporting about our disgusting pedophile ruling class you can do, before you need a palate cleanser of some kind.
who would have thought that pisspiggranddad would turn out to be such a strange dude
