Comedian Cody Johnston hosts this always fair, always well-researched, but most importantly, always entertaining take on the topical news of the week. Every Tuesday, Some More News dives into the world's weekly events with a mix of wit, dread, hope and compassion. Since the news cycle never stops spinning, Johnston returns every Friday for Even More News, co-hosted by Katy Stoll. Together, they present an informative and comedic spin on the viewers’ frustrations with the news that week.

Hi. Well, we're doing this again.... I guess. So, let's ask the tough question: are Americans just plain stupid for electing Donald Trump?

Even More News: Drones, AOC vs. Pelosi, Privatizing the Post Office

Hi. Happy New Year! We're posting an episode on New Year's Day for some reason. But it's not a new episode. It's a replay of our January 2022 Some More News Episode about Martin Luther King Jr. and how conservatives (and many moderates) love to pretend that MLK's entire vision was about that one quote from that one speech that they point to over and over and over. Turns out the guy had more to say! So here's that episode with a new intro from Cody Johnston (and writer/director of this episode Will Gordh).

Way Less News: BookTok Smut, Love Is Blind, and Dylanology

Some More News: Why Does "AI" "Art" Suck So Much?

Hi. On the first Even More News of 2025, Kaveh Hoda from "The House of Pod" is back to talk about the devastating fires threatening Los Angeles and how Mark Zuckerberg's decision to eliminate fact-checking on Meta will make our information environment even worse. Plus, we ask him a bunch of health questions since he's a doctor and it's easier than making an actual appointment.
