Street Fight Radio, or Street Fight is an American politics and humor radio show and podcast founded in June 2011 and hosted by Brett Payne and Bryan Quinby. While only one part of this show is broadcast each week on WCRS[1] in Columbus, Ohio, each episode is released on the Internet as a podcast. The show has served as a launching point for Chapo Trap House as the hosts met while reviewing 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi for an episode of the show[2].

Content

Street Fight bills itself as an "anarcho-comedy" radio show, where the hosts and fans of the show have sympathies to left-wing politics. Common topics and discussions on the show include labor unions, socialism, failures of capitalism and the so-called "gig economy", and anarchism are common on the show.

Currently Street Fight Radio is one of three shows each week: a weekend call-in show which is broadcast from the WCRS studios, a second show with just Brett and Bryan, typically referred to as a "basement show" by Brett and Brian, and a premium third interview show which is available to fans that pay $5 each month on the show's Patreon page.[3] The format of the call-in shows (which can stretch to over three hours each week) is the first portion of the show features Brett and Brian riffing on topics such as drugs, current events, news articles, or their families, with the remainder of the show answering calls from fans. Fans typically call in with anecdotes from their jobs, political organizing that the caller may be participating in, or just call in to talk about anything that's on the top of their mind. The second show each week, the "basement show", is a sixty to ninety minute show that is similar in format to the first part of the call in shows. The third show features either Brett or Bryan interviewing a guest of their choice. Past guests on the Interview Show have included the hosts of sister podcasts like Chapo Trap House, Struggle Session, and Delete Your Account, writers for various websites or other publications, and users associated with weird Twitter.

In addition to producing the radio show and podcast, Street Fight Radio also publishes a monthly zine.
