The Short News Podcast

After two weeks off, Alex returns, already exhausted, and talks about the news (maybe? I blacked out for like 20 min idk man sorry about this one), impending threats to freedom of speech, gas prices, Israel, Michelle Obama quotes, and (probably) so much more.

Alex returns to rant about abstinence, autocrats, and automation in the workplace (and how it's trying to take the humans out of humans before taking the humans out of the workplace altogether).

The White House Correspondents Dinner went south really fast yesterday, and somehow an attempt at the President's life is being used to justify lifting the red tape around the new White House ballroom (by the President). Alex discusses that (and why this ballroom is so important to him), theorizes about whether or not the biggest CEOs have AI psychosis, and roasts both sides of the political a...

This is truly getting exhausting. It would be wonderful if the government could maybe give us a day off from the madness. Trump did a lot, and Alex cannot pinpoint a single thing he's done to rant about which becomes a rant in itself about news fatigue. Pete Hegseth accidentally quoted Pulp Fiction while thinking he was quoting a Bible verse. CEOs (especially healthcare ones) are unethical jus...

Alex is back to talk about the war in Iran, rant about the economy and gas prices due to said war in Iran, and discusses the constitution in a way they don't want it to be discussed - by interpreting it literally. Also President Trump said something WILD, even for him, on Truth Social this morning. Follow the show @tsnpod on TikTok and @shortnewspod on Instagram alexmadore on TikTok and Instag...

As if rising gas prices weren't enough of a struggle for the American people right now, the wartime news gets even more unfortunate. Between the military becoming suspiciously lenient about who they recruit, and discussions of a draft as the US continues to attack Iran, it seems more and more like something expensive and dangerous is coming. Also, yes, Alex rants about gas prices and that spir...

Alex is back (ugh I knoww just quit already). He's been edging the News - not fully in, just... the tip - and he has thoughts. Coca-Cola, the Epstein Files, Ted Cruz's complicated relationship with Jesus, billionaires who want you dead faster, and a lengthy meditation on whether the person currently talking to you is actually a person. Feat. the world's least convincing proof of humani...

Another episode about AI and how it's being used to replace us and destroy us by twisted billionaires who have all of the money and blood on their hands.

Alex rants about the rise of AI and AI related tools, and how it is totally, completely, absolutely, killing the vibes (and coming for your jobs, water, and homes).

After three relentless weeks unraveling the corruption of elites and institutions in the new release of Epstein Files, a tired and burnt-out Alex finally drops the podcaster act for an episode, and opens up about the corruption - inside himself. Yeah sorry, this one's not about news or current events.

Alex explores even more of the DOJ's Epstein Files release, and celebrates the recent news that ICE is pulling out of Minnesota (but they're coming to a city near you...) Find out more in this episode of TSN. Much love, stay safe.

The DOJ just released the second round of Epstein Files including emails, and some extremely damning and disturbing information about Donald Trump. (Lots of trigger warnings for this one, sensitive stuff in there, obviously) Also, Epstein was a Markiplier fan... ew... (I love Mark but why is this making me feel gross?)

Alex discusses last week's episode (sorry to your ears), and elaborates on ICE's current moves towards tightening their grip over the American people, not only immigrants. But also roasts Chuck Schumer for not doing much of anything (that's part of the problem).

Alex rants about abstinence, Trump's abuses of power, ICE murdering an innocent woman in cold blood, and the absolute lack of action from Democrat leaders.

New Year, New War??? Donald Trump goes Empire-mode on Venezuela and kidnaps their president, Alex rants about drugs (big pharma), and recounts a memory of a routine doctor's appointment gone-wrong.

Happy New Year from TSN! Alex looks back on the last year of craziness, discusses the future of the podcast, and addresses the people. Back to our regularly scheduled programming next week, much love.

Alex rants about the slow trickle-truth that is the botched release of the Epstein files, and proceeds to go on an endless lecture about the cannabis industry and how it's going to become Monsanto but for fun stuff. Also, Jake Paul finally lost a boxing match in his first not-staged PPV fight, and the world finally feels (somewhat) right again thanks to that. NEW MERCH: The "Fine, I miss...

Alex rants about gun laws after the most recent mass shooting at Brown University, and then ruins the new Avengers: Doomsday film for everyone.

Alex rants about the sudden movement by a lot of influential outlets against cannabis/cannabis legalization, how all odds have already have been stacked against dispensaries in legal states since legalization, Trump's historic treatment/mistreatment of women, and some other stuff but don't worry about it.

Finally answering the question "is the common person smarter than Kim Kardashian?" while discussing invasive home robots like the NEO nightmare bot by 1X, which is only semi-autonomous (the rest of the time a dude in an Oculus headset is just exploring your house from many miles away), and contemplating the double-edged sword that convenience is becoming with the introduction of automation...

Alex returns to make fun of the Epstein files for the third week in a row, rant about how democrats (aside from Zohran) don't know how to run a successful/authentic election anymore, and complain about the state of the economy, and what you can do to navigate a world where everything around you is trying to find more inventive ways to take your money (btw new merch is available in the link her...

Alex runs his mouth about the way the current President allegedly used his mouth on that other President, and discusses the AI bubble being about to burst, as well as the consequences of the public allowing themselves to get gaslit by LLMs like ChatGPT.

It turns out sometimes the most sinister of people use Gmail to discuss their crimes, and accidentally leave behind the most outrageous and incriminating paper trail. Sometimes it's through said paper trail where we find out something as outrageous as "Donald Trump gave Bill Clinton head." Alex talks about the recent findings from the leaked 20,000 Jeffrey Epstein emails as well as clo...

Alex (finally) (actually) returns from getting milk to rant about the government shutdown, Donald Trump, late stage capitalism, how AI is contributing to the downfall of the working class, and the McDonald's App.

Come for the popcorn lung. Stay for the full-throttle monologue about justice, dreams, and why Joe Biden might actually be our dying-yet-adorable last hope. This episode covers: Epstein's disappearing list Diddy's slap on the wrist Vaping being worse than analog smoking Your boss (the government) being bad at their job (and why you're actually their boss) And somehow ends with a hopefu...
