Josh Bloom
Hi. It's Josh. I published my first newsletter before the age of ten, written using my next-door neighbor’s typewriter, copied with carbon paper, and distributed to mailboxes on my bicycle. One of my first stories was an obituary of John Belushi. Strange for a ten year old? Yes! My show is governed by deadpan sarcasm that goes granular on topics of culture that I'm deeply curious about. I hope you enjoy this sometimes snarky stream of consciousness. I'm serious about not taking life too seriously.™ superjews.substack.com

This week on the show, the leader of the Trump administration gives a speech where he states that he hates Democrats. Like, really. He says, “I hate them.” Nice, right? So if you were wondering if you should call your senator, don’t bother. People who hate are not people who can be nego...

This week on the show, I have had it with political pundits on the left who continue to wonder why the right acts the way they do. They already know the answer, but they keep asking the question so they will have something to talk about. I get it, but just because I get it, it doesn’t m...

This week on the show, a Black woman says she’s sorry to me at the trash can, and I explain how this moment that she couldn’t care less about caused me to consider the Black experience. Then, I am very excited to talk about the return of the Talking Sopranos podcast, which I highly rec...

Hey, it’s Josh! You’re probably wondering, “Josh, what the hell are you doing in my podcast feed on a Monday?” Well, you can consider this a bonus episode of the Josh Bloom Podcast!
Why a bonus episode? I will tell you! On July 6th, 2024, I saw the hysterical play “Oh, Mary!” during its run of previews ahead of opening on Broadway following its sold-out downtown NYC run. On October 6th, 2024, I published an article on my Substack en...
