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.

You asked so I came with my review.

I love this podcast, I listen to it every day and never miss an episode. Really good mix between politics and popular culture. Their guests are top notch and I often find myself trying to suppress laughter while on public transport.

First rate podcast energy

Long time listener from Ireland here! I don't know how it's taken me so long to review but I love the show and listen everyday. Big respect for Jack, who has been in my ear for so many years and I like the way his head works. Miles is a brilliant right hand man full to the brim with charisma and his hot takes are generally built on good experience! Keep up the good work. It's chaos out there, stay kind
