Love this news podcast where the guests bring in their favourite headlines. I really enjoy listening (:

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.
Have to say: I’m not usually someone who likes listening to Podcasts as I find they can be really dull and boring, but Cody somehow manages to not only keep the interest going but also have you rolling around with laughter AND it’s educational and enlightening at the same time! 💜 More, please! 💜
Cody and his guests are always insightful, even stories that may sound trivial are backed up with actual facts. I am an ex pat in Canada and always listen on my drive home, Brit sense of
Humour in s the best!

This show blends quick-fire headlines with interviews hosted by a comedian, delivering a fast, irreverent take on current events. Guests are predominantly comedians and performers who weigh in on three to four timely headlines per episode, mixing humor with commentary on media, culture, and politics. The format favors sharp banter, personal anecdotes, and crowd-pleasing storytelling, often ending with guest plugs or a tease for upcoming live shows. A standout is the consistent pairing of comedy with thoughtful context, creating digestible takes on otherwise sprawling news cycles. This makes it a good fit for listeners who want witty, concise perspectives on world events and pop culture, served with personality and comic timing.
