The Daily Zeitgeist
There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack will spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.

In episode 424, Jack and special guest host Caitlin Durante are joined by Sleepwalkers podcast co-host Karah Preiss to discuss Twitter playing right into Trump's hands, Democratic polls after the debates, Boston approving a straight white parade, New York declaring a climate emergency, and more!
