  • Helping me get through news I can’t stomach anymore.

    The Daily Show has for years been a bright light in a dimming media landscape, making the slow decline of America a touch more tolerable.

  • Too Many TDS Past Episodes

    I stopped listening to this when it just seemed like they were taking every other week off. It’s frustrating when a big piece of news happens but it’s another TDS reminiscent episode. By the time they are back on the air, there has been so much that has happened. It’s like watching something written for social media. Just not as good as it could be.

  • Out of touch

    Love everything about this show. But the Precap on April 13 2026. So out of touch. Less than 50% of Americans fly annually. 10.% have never flown. Most people fly less than once a year.
