  • New favourite podcast

    Found Cody Dahler via his Instagram reels and stayed for The Truth In My Opinion - news, but actually funny.

    Sharp takes, zero fluff, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting. Perfect if you want to keep up without feeling like a thicky thicky dumb dumb, with the bonus of getting a good giggle 🤣

    Easy five stars.

Ed Jones: Peter Mandelson's Pee Pee, Putin's Secret Submarines & LeBron James And Son Make History
Q: Why is the submarine story treated with regional flair?

Ed Jones: Peter Mandelson's Pee Pee, Putin's Secret Submarines & LeBron James And Son Make History
Q: What drew you to the Mandelson urination headline as the opener?
Ed explains the appeal lies in the absurd contrast of a high-profile figure engaging in a very public, petty act, which also taps into how public narratives latch onto small acts to define bigger personalities.

Q: What's the human-interest angle on the second headline about the 100-year-old organ donor?

Q: Alfie, delivering your first headline, what's the core story you're presenting here?
Tiger Woods was speeding in a 30 mph zone, clipped a trailer, rolled the car, and was suspected to be under medication, marking yet another DUI in a public pattern that's part of his legend.
