Period
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 š¤£
Easy five stars.
Have to say: Iām 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 itās educational and enlightening at the same time! š More, please! š
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!

Episodes blend politics, culture, and tech with stand-up sensibilities, featuring a rotating slate of comedian guests, political commentators, and writers who bring sharp, often irreverent perspectives. The show tends to favor brisk banter, witty riffs, and personal anecdotes that illuminate how big stories intersect with everyday life. A few episodes stand out for tackling regulatory or industry-specific issues with policy-sense and humor, making it a good fit for listeners who want quick, ģ 볓-packed takes without sacrificing personality or laughs.
