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.
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]
