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.

    The Epstein Files, Round II

    The DOJ just released the second round of Epstein Files including emails, and some extremely damning and disturbing information about Donald Trump.
