Publisher's summary

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've listened to The Daily Zeitgeist for years and I love the hosts and their ability to push me more and more far left. I downloaded this app just to say that because I use spotify instead. However in recent times they've been aggressively anti-gun without really knowing much about the reality we live in in the US.

There are too many guns to just simply make them vanish. Fascists won't play so nice and
I'd rather be prepared than simply put my hands up and die along with anyone I want to protect. It's dire but can't be ignored or waved off. On top of that Jack and Miles still believing in electoralism is very naive to what a person's goals are as a politician; to control others. I love the show but wanted to have my issues heard if this is read by them. I hope it helps in some way.

I've listened for years but am becoming frustrated

Love the pod. Been a listener since day one. Love when the OGs like Lil Zam come through. Google podcast shut down so I'm supporting here now.

Their daily questions about overrated and underrated always give me something to think about, But this particular episode and guest were particularly informative and left me with new perspectives!

excellent daily pod
