  • Favorite podcast…but

    I’ve listened for over five years. These guys are my favorite. I highly recommend you sign up for a Patreon subscription and listen to those shows. The free daily show, though, has become almost unbearable to listen to, as it’s nothing but nonstop ad after ad. It’s them doing an ad read or Apple inserting some of its ads. It’s really started to ruin the experience.

    The boys have got to eat, but I can see how this is a repellant to any new listener who might otherwise join the hive.

  • Unbiased

    I used to be a political extremist but the balance and nuance I was able to add to my life brought me back to politically annoying.

    All seriousness the pod Never fails to get me to laugh and makes my mornings a tad bit better

Frequently Asked Questions About Hard Factor

What is Hard Factor about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Weekday conversations led by Mark, Pat, Wes, and Will turn current events into an irreverent mix of news, commentary, and comedy. The hosts move quickly across politics, crime, celebrity stories, technology, sports, and unusual local incidents, adding jokes, personal reactions, and debate rather than offering extended policy analysis. Frequent profanity and crude humor are part of the approach, alongside coverage of serious events and public controversies. The distinctive appeal is the range: major political figures and elections share space with bizarre legal cases, viral mishaps, and odd stories from around the world.
