Customer Reviews
Top notch chuckle producer
The Onion continues its tradition of high-grade humour with this collection of a year’s worth of short daily radio news parodies from 2020-2021. Brilliantly funny. The Onion should be given the Nobel Prize for Laughs.
Just awesome.
Even though the podcast has come to an end, I’m still going to keep this in my library so when I need A break from thinking about what the days news means, I can listen to Leslie explain last year‘s news in terms that a brain dead idiot like me can understand.
I love you Leslie
Best podcast I’d ever heard.
