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.

My Daily Zeitgeist Fix
This is easily one of the best Podcasts out there. Fun, entertaining & will make you smile as Miles & Jack laugh their way though their own jokes. Even better when The Lofus, The Hosnieh & The Socci joins the gang.
Just do it.
I have been listening to this amazing show daily for just over a year now. There hasn’t been one episode I’ve fast forwarded through. Jack and Myles are great, and their guests always either make me laugh, or make me question. I’ve also found so many funny and interesting people from listening to this show that I now follow on social media and enjoy their works too! It’s just good stuff.
Must listen to show
I’ve been listening to Miles and Jack and their wonderful guests for four years now and it’s very rare I miss an episode. And it never gets old.
Absolutely love this show. If you want an honest and insightful view into what’s happening in the world today, I’d 100% recommend this show. You will laugh and probably cry but you’ll be informed.
