The Short News Podcast

Not the news. The Short News. Host Alex Madore returns to the charged, comedic, and blunt voice that made TSN a cult favorite during 2020’s lockdowns — blending raw honesty, political satire, strange headlines, and personal storytelling into a condensed format designed for people who’ve seen too much - but this time he’s not a college student learning the ropes. From systemic injustice to personal recovery, from metaphysical weirdness to pop culture absurdity, The Short News covers it all — with a a firmer stance, sharper bits, and zero allegiance to either side of the aisle.

  1. Nov 1

    Where Were You on Klein/11?

    Alex returns to talk about sobriety, the Ethan Klein/H3H3 Productions drama, Trump's weird connection with Nicki Minaj, and Sam Altman's most recent statements regarding consumer woes on RAM shortages caused by his data centers.

  2. Sep 21

    It's MackleMORE, not Mackle less

    Alex rants about Ed Sheeran's spine issues (he doesn't have one), art as a form of political expression, the consequences of billionaires controlling the flow of free speech, and how AI is allegedly going to destroy us all.

  3. Aug 9

    TSN: Brand New Day (Alex Reviews Spider-Man)

    Alex returns after some more time off to talk about where he's been (mostly watching Spider-Man). After a brief rant about politics, Alex talks mostly, about Spider-Man. Sorry to the political listeners out there, but we're doing Spider-Man this week.

  4. Jul 27

    Do You Even Own Your Stuff Anymore?

    Alex rants about digital privacy - specifically how an ongoing case violating a man's rights blatantly in an airport - sets a precedent that the Trump Administration - or US Government no matter what color the tie - can and will do whatever they want to you, as long as corporate entities continue to foot all of the bills.

  5. Jul 21

    Flock Cameras and the Automated Omnipticon

    Alex rants about the US Government allegedly using AI image generation to keep more than just Mitch McConnell's legacy alive, obvious senate nepotism, Flock Cameras and the state of the surveillance state, and apologizes for the previous episode. Rated E for everyone (although the language may not be suitable for the puritans that live amongst us).

  6. Jul 18

    Smokin That Lady G Pack

    Father time catches up with all of us, even if you're a senator. Alex returns to give a disorganized rant about the state of the world, the recent passing of Senator Graham, and the implications of… something.

  7. May 19

    Tired Man Rants About Current Events

    After two weeks off, Alex returns, already exhausted, and talks about the news (maybe? I blacked out for like 20 min idk man sorry about this one), impending threats to freedom of speech, gas prices, Israel, Michelle Obama quotes, and (probably) so much more.

  8. May 4

    Demented, Like the President

    Alex returns to rant about abstinence, autocrats, and automation in the workplace (and how it's trying to take the humans out of humans before taking the humans out of the workplace altogether).
