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.

Great news pod!

I adore the hosts and the guests. I’m stunned at the daily talent these newsreaders display. The empathy and honesty of this cast is a bright light in a very dark world. Thank you Miles and Jack and the long list of awesome guests.

Essential listening

Even all the way at the bottom of the globe, this is an engaging and fun series. Long may it last!
Throw in a few more items about NZ’s progressive “kindness first” approach and our awesome prime minister and you’ll go viral here! 😍

Pigalina ,

More funny less holier than thou please

Some of the episodes are hilarious (when Shangela and Laci were on together was gold. Actually whenever Laci is on is great) but most of the time it just bashes any views that aren’t hard left and some of the guests are very condescending.
