Episode 315: The Final Episode 19.11.2021

The show will go on, but the podcast version of The Humanist Report will be coming to an end. This means we’ll still upload videos regularly to YouTube, Facebook and Means TV; however, the full episodes—along with its audio companions—will no longer be produced every week. The catalog of older full episodes, however, will continue to be available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts (as well as other pla...

Episode 314: COP(OUT)26 12.11.2021

In this week’s show we’ll touch on a variety of issues, but especially highlight the COP26 conference taking place, which is proving to be the disappointment many expected. We’ll also discuss Build Back Better’s likely demise, Tulsi’s bizarre interview on Fox News, Josh Hawley’s sudden obsession with masculinity, Dennis Prager’s persecution complex, and the Democratic Party’s refusal to stop being...

Episode 313: Build Back BUSTED 05.11.2021

Welp, the prospect of Joe Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ reconciliation bill being transformative has essentially diminished entirely; Joe Manchin called the bluff of House progressives, and they folded immediately like a cheap deck of cards. We’ll talk about the implications of this as well as Bernie Sanders’ last ditch effort to—at the very least—preserve the Medicare expansion. We’ll also talk abo...

Episode 312: The Butchering Of Build Back Better 29.10.2021

In this episode we’ll talk about the ongoing negotiations regarding Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ act and how it’s a husk of what it once was—and why progressive lawmakers should reject it. We’ll also talk about the FCC and net neutrality, Elon Musk and the billionaire tax, Facebook’s profit-driven algorithm, Striketober, Joe Rogan’s hot take on paternity leave and Jimmy Dore’s unhinged attack on No...

Episode 311: Manchild 22.10.2021

In this episode it’s an all out dunk fest on Senator Joe ManCHILD (got ‘eem). We’ll talk about whether or not he’s Demexiting, his corruption, and progressive Senators calling him out. We’ll also discuss Kyrie Irving’s anti-vax stupidity, Tim Pool’s hot take on ‘Squid Game,’ Madison Cawthorn’s insanity, the continued fallout from Dave Chappelle’s TERF arc, Dennis Prager’s bug chasing, and much mor...

Episode 310: The Blurring Line Between Politics & Parody 15.10.2021

In this episode we’ve got an assortment of topics you’ll be sure to enjoy! We’ll talk about Kyrsten Sinema’s class on corruption at ASU, Jon Stewart’s take on cancel culture, trouble in Trump world, India Walton’s mayoral race, Tucker Carlson’s comments on Fox News’ vaccine mandate and much more. Finally, 2022 congressional candidate Rebecca Parson drops by to talk about her rematch with incumbent...

Episode 309: Schadenfreude 08.10.2021

In this episode we’ll bask in the glory of the satisfying confrontations of corporate democrats Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin. They’re getting heckled on yachts, airplanes, and even in bathrooms—and it’s a beautiful thing! We’ll also discuss revelations from the Facebook whistleblower, the Pandora Papers, how Alabama will be financing new prisons, anti-vax stupidity, Dave Rubin’s grift, and wheth...

Episode 308: Dempster Fire 01.10.2021

In this week’s episode we’ll kick off the show by discussing the latest shenanigans from Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Well also discuss a variety of other topics including Liz Cheney’s opportunism, Nina Turner’s congressional run, shocking new facts about the spread of COVID in red states, and much more!

Episode 307: Shut Up & Govern 24.09.2021

The Democratic Party always has some lame excuse as to why they can’t do good things; whether it’s the Senate Parliamentarian or obstructionist conservative Democrats, the buck ultimately stops with Biden. It’s time to stop making excuses, shut the f*ck up, and get sh*t done. We’ll discuss said excuses as well as the Biden Administration’s cruel use of a Trump-era immigration law, Biden’s unilater...

Episode 306: Reactionaries Rule The World 10.09.2021

In this episode we’ll discuss the current state of things and how they’re just… not good. We’ll talk about Texas’ abortion ban, Fox News’ pandemic misinformation, the Line 3 pipeline, the expiration of unemployment benefits, voter suppression, climate change, drones, and much more!

Episode 305: When Life Imitates The YouTube Comments Section 03.09.2021

There’s a second pandemic infecting the minds of millions of Americans: stupidity. We’ll discuss the (many) prominent conservatives whose anti-vax views lead to their demises, the impact COVID is having on doctors and nurses in ICUs, and a massive outbreak caused by a single teacher in California. These topics and more will be discussed in today’s episode. Enjoy!

Episode 304: The Idiocracification Of America 27.08.2021

With each passing day America looks more like the 2006 film ‘Idiocracy.’ Millions of Americans are rejecting reality, becoming increasingly conspiratorial, and are vehemently anti-vaccine all while a global pandemic ravages the world. Even as Trump encourages vaccinations—and prominent Republican media figures die from the virus—conservative anti-vaxxers still unmoved, and still anti-vax. Idiocrac...

Episode 303: Antivaxxistan 20.08.2021

In this episode we’ll focus on two issues: Afghanistan and anti-vaxxers. We’ll discuss Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, the media’s coverage of said withdrawal, and the right’s reluctance to accept refugees. When it comes to anti-vaxxers, they’re becoming increasingly unhinged as mandatory vaccines gain popularity as a policy tool and with the general public. These topics and more will be disc...
