The news is exhausting. So we made a podcast that isn’t.

Unserious brings together three journalists who rarely agree on anything to unpack the week’s biggest stories, smallest controversies and most terminally online debates.

Smart conversations. Dumb arguments. Immaculate vibes.

  • Love!!!

    I stumbled across this podcast via a TikTok clip with Ben Fordham.

    I already loved Mary from her time on KJ Show, and love her even more now! Such a great vibe - she’s a Queen.

    I really enjoy this pod and all the hosts. Great banter, opposing opinions discussed and Caleb is really growing on me! Love his take on many things. Subscribed!
