UPDATED DAILY

There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack and co-host Miles Gray spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.

Solidarity and sobbing

I only ask two things from my podcasts; a humorous leftist attitude, and that it does not make me cry on my work whilst I am drawing. The return of Miles after his house burnt down had me sobbing and now my work is delayed! Love to you all.

Who cares about ice cream

I listened to this podcast for many years, it was my drive to work listen, then I got bored and stopped . Last week I started up again and quickly realised why I stopped. You need to wade through sometimes 40 minutes of who has the best ice cream. No one cares about the best glaze on donuts, best m&m colour, or any other dribble. Forty minutes of fluff and if your lucky 20 minutes of news. Then you get another 10 to 15 minutes of plugs for the guest comedian shows. Honestly guys, I loved you but I spend so much time fast forwarding I’ve decided not to bother .
