None of the sources reports a YouTube subscriber count for Dangerous Intellectuals, so the 10,000-subscriber figure can be neither confirmed nor refuted. The only subscriber figure present is a 3.2K+ Substack count from 2022 on a different platform, which does not address the claim.
A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… I'm uh I'm not done through playing. Uh, I'm not gonna suffer fools anymore, and I'm not going to be nice. Blaine Holt, tell everybody about your magnificent podcast. I appreciate that. Celebrating one year at Dangerous Intellectuals, and it's going really, really well. We opened up onto YouTube, and in just three episodes, we're already passing 10,000 subscribers. I couldn't be happier, and we've just got the most amazing guests. I have Basil Baz from the Association for the Recovery of Children to finish off season one on Monday, and I think everybody's going to love that conversation. …
The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The claim's figure comes from the claimant's own post, which is not evidence for it; the passage itself says the show was celebrating one year and had just opened on YouTube.
Context. The only subscriber count in the sources is 3.2K+ on Blaine Holt's Substack, last published in 2022; it is a different platform and an older snapshot, so it neither supports nor contradicts a YouTube figure.[1]
Context. Apple Podcasts lists 44 episodes for the show overall, which is a whole-show total and not a count of the first three YouTube episodes, so it does not contradict the claim's framing.[2]
Context. No source reports YouTube or total subscriber numbers for the Dangerous Intellectuals show as of September 2026, and the Podseeker listener estimate concerns a different podcast (Gold Goats 'n Guns).[3]
