Normal Men is four guys talking about the news. We want to help explain what's happening in the world around us and have some laughs along the way. And we think you might enjoy hearing what we have to say, as long as you don't mind a bit of normalcy in a world without much of it.

  • Finally some normal men

    As a fellow normal guy, it’s nice to listen to some other normal guys be normal about stuff. In these times, normality is a real treat.

  • A title for a review seems pretentious

    A great show by good guys! Normal guys, I guess. Innocent, to boot.

    Anyway, check it out if you’d like to consume the grim news through a solar-eclipse-glasses style filter that protects your brain-eyes via context and humor, at least as much as is possible given *gestures at the world*.

  • Great Start

    This is a very good political/current events pod with four fairly interesting guys. They have good chemistry and their conversations tend to be a bit lighter and fun.

    I like it so much, I stopped listening to a different podcast to start listening to their latest episode as soon as it came out on Friday.

  • Clear explanations

    These guys are reviewing present day political and financial events with a no-nonsense, fact based approach (mixed in with some humor) that I wish many national newscasters would use.
