Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib

SModcast Network

News. Pop Culture. Politics. Weird stories. EVERYTHING that happened during the last week. Comedian Ben Gleib catches you up on it all, while making fun of basically everything. Some people tell him this podcast is the way they prefer to get the news. He thinks these people are geniuses. Sometimes he's joined by celebrity guests like comedians, actors, politicians, Four-Star Generals, and his parents. But mostly he talks to himself. If you've been in a coma for the last 7 days, this podcast should not be high on your list of things to tackle. Join the #braintrust

    #263: Audio Quality or Ideas?

    Gleib is in Miami at Love Burn, which is Miami‘s Burning Man. He got back to his room at the end of the night, and while on the ground stretching, he just recorded stream of consciousness about the state of our country… into his iPhone. Just recording it for himself, not planning on it being the podcast at all. He then thought it would be interesting to release. So he recorded an intro, and as he tried to gather you all to listen, the universe conspired in a funny (and painful) way that you will hear, to try to stop it! But we can’t be stopped! Mad Ones of the world unite!!! Come enjoy Gleib’s standup show this Sunday in Cincinnati at the Funny Bone comedy club, the only date he’s doing right now on the Rock Comedy Tour.
