UPDATED DAILY

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.

I Have been a listener since 2017 and am just now leaving a review. Of course I love the hosts and their dynamic together, but the entire team; writers, editors, producers, and guests deserve a lot of praise. I have learned so much over the last nearly 10 years thanks to this pod. I also and very happy to have the new Monday episodes about cultural icons, and gives them (and us) a politics break. Great way to start the week! Love ya’ll, thank you for all the lols.

I’ve been a listener for a long time and am finally leaving a review! The Daily Zietgeist is an entertaining look at current events with a good amount of silliness to take the edge off of the tragic times we find ourselves in. Though I don’t always agree with everything said, I appreciate Miles and Jacks viewpoints and thoroughly enjoy the pod. The recent addition of The Iconograph episodes on Monday mornings are a great way to start the week. They are featuring interesting cultural icons with content that is thoughtful and well researched. Their main episodes are a staple for my workdays and the afternoon trending episodes are enjoyed on my evening commute. I often work alone as a wetland/ habitat restoration specialist and listen to a lot of content while working. Keep up the good work, Miles and Jack!
Is there an ad-free version??

The best podcast to get your news from because they add good jokes to bad news. Jack and Myles make my mornings better!
