Journalists Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal scour the internet for its craziest, silliest, most sociopathic content, part of an obsessive and ill-conceived attempt to extract kernels of meaning and humanity from a landscape of endless raging dumpster fires.

Customer Reviews
Hilarious and interesting even when I don’t agree
I lean a little right in my politics, but only slightly, probably because I’m a small business owner. I’m very left on several issues. So I like to hear both points of view, and make up my own mind. I just can’t take the screeching, yelling, name-calling, fake-news-as-fact and vulgarity common to a lot of the political discourse. So this podcast comes as a breath of fresh air, as two left-leaning hosts talk about the latest hot topics with a great sense of humour, taking bipartisan digs at everybody and each other, and looking for truth in all the dross. I’m glad I found it - definitely worth the wait.
