H3 Podcast is a YouTube channel hosted by Ethan Klein and Hila Klein, an Israeli-American husband and wife duo. The majority of their content consists of current events, pop culture, and politics, and marked a move away from their original sketch commedy channel h3h3Productions. The H3 Podcast Highlights was created by the pair to share highlights from the podcast.
History[edit]
Following their streaming on Twitch, the Kleins moved their podcast to Youtube, creating the H3 Podcast in April 2017.[1] Its first episode aired on April 8, 2017 featuring Justin Roiland, co-creator of Rick and Morty.[2] The podcast began with conversational interviews with notable internet personalities as Pewdiepie, Post Malone and Jake Paul.[3][4]
In May 2020, Old Spice terminiated its partnership with the channel as a result of resurfaced 2017 footage of Ethan using slurs.[5][6]
The channel expanded its content with the introduction of new sub-series: H3 After Dark, an unscripted current affairs podcast co-hosted by the Kleins; Content Court, mock trial podcast judging controversial internet personalities; and Frenemies, a podcast discussing internet drama, co-hosted by YouTube personality Trisha Paytas.[7][8][9]
On the set of Frenemies, Ethan and Paytas' relationship was intially rocky, marked by several large clashes, but they began reconciling their differences in episodes with Dr Drew.[8] Several Frenemies episodes focused on sexual assault allegations surrounding David Dobrik and The Vlog Squad.[10] Totaling 42 episodes, Frenemies ended in June 2021 after Paytas voiced their disagreements with Ethan and the podcast's production.[11][12] While the podcast received praise for its openness regarding mental illness and was credited for helping break down the social stigma surrounding it,[13] Paytas' comments on Judaism and Holocaust in particular have been criticized as ignorant and offensive.[14] Frenemies was briefly replaced with Families, which focused on Ethan's relationship with his parents, Gary and Donna.[5]
The podcast further expanded by introducing H3 TV, a live stream style series; Off the Rails, an informal reaction based series; and Leftovers, a left-leaning political podcast co-hosted by Hasan Piker. According to Tubefilter, first episode of Leftovers reached 1 million views a day after being published.[15]
The H3 podcast has been one of the United States' highest ranking podcasts since late 2020. Edison Research ranked it 27th from mid-2019 to mid-2020, and 23rd in 2020 overall based on a number of statistics.[16][17] Media Monitors ranked the podcast 14th for the first quarter of 2021.[18] Radio Online has noted a surge in listenership in early 2021, presumably in large part due to attention the public disputes between Ethan and Paytas garnered surrounding Frenemies.[19] The podcast hosts four videos a week and has over 390 episodes.[20]
Triller Fight Club II LLC v. The H3 Podcast[edit]
In May 2021, Triller's event company filed an updated lawsuit to the US District Court for the Central District of California against the H3 podcast and the Kleins, seeking 50 million in damages. The lawsuit alledges copyright infringement in the podcast episode titled Jake Paul Fight Was A Disaster, which featured knockout footage from the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren fight.[21][22]
