    cody=joe rogan???
    joe rogan, andrew huberman, cody johnston, all 3 sell the same supplement powders,that this $79-a-month powder “covers all of your foundational nutritional needs.” In an industry not noted for its integrity, AG1 is, according to writer and professional debunker Derek Beres, “one of the most egregious players in the space.”

    I love the Some more news
    But this podcast is just a slog of mush. I don’t want 5 minutes of trash holidays followed by 20 minutes of “how ya doin” You spend so much time on worthless chitchat, that you rarely have time to actually cover the news. I loved the cast in the begining, but it lacks any flair that I care for

    Love this Show
    Excellent writing, great information and entertaining presentation make SMN something I look forward to every week.
  • Tyler Phantom
    Great content!
    I mean it’s the same show, without any visuals so my tender sacks of eye flesh can do less work! my one gripe is that the format kinda makes citations a drag since you have to match the timestamp with the video and there should probably be a pastebin somewhere but whatever

    Bad reviews = best episodes timeline
    If you are new to the show and want to listen to the best episodes, check out the dates of the worst reviews and listen to the episodes posted just before them. This show is so one-sided when it comes to the mass murder of children! They never bring in people to cover the “other side” of the issue! How very dare they!
  • LoLoLilou33
    Look forward to it every week!
    I’ve come to think of the Some More News as my weekly dose of both rage, insanity, and comedy. I enjoy it more than Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and that’s saying something. I’m part of the patreon but I still listen to hilarious and unhinged commercials because I enjoy them that much (seriously advertisers, I could skip commercials but I don’t want too!). I appreciate that there is always a call to action or some answer to the issues we face. Also Even More News is awesome as well! Thank you all for doing this!

    Keeps me sane
    Thank you guys for caring about things and speaking up. I’ve listened to SMN for years and never bothered to write a review or anything, but today’s episode about Gaza protests deserves a response. Your show is one of the few places I can go to not feel gaslit about the state of the world, and to feel some kind of hope.

    Kendrick J Cole
    I wonder how much of your audience cared about that. I really dug high stepper or whatever so this beef is just tangentially interesting to hip hop heads. Kendrick deep and jcole used to be on the edge of that same kind of truth. But very meh jcole diss and honestly havnt heard drakes response.

    Hyper irony for the sake of it
    Honestly I’m over it. Fanbase of a bunch of tankie 12 year olds.

    Love this podcast!
    Filled with the information I need… somehow hilarious, educational, entertaining, informative, and infuriating all at once. I highly recommend this podcast to everyone!

    Cody’s showdy
    What a rip-off. Exactly as advertised. It’s the YouTube episode without pictures. Anyway, five stars.
  • Seanzai
    Used to be great
    This show used to be fantastic, but in the last few months it’s just unlistenable. It’s a shame.
  • StarryNightQ
    Boring repetitive sameness
    Bring someone with other opinions so it doesn’t sound like echoing the same stuff into already agreeing sameness
  • Kuja01
    Was excessive Bernie bro and bad faith attacked Warren
    Cody was cool and all got a while, but fell into the trap in 2019 that only Bernie was a good candidate and made the bad faith attacks on Liz Warren for being not progressive enough, which was absurd. The sexist attacks on her were too much for me to continue being a fan of Cody.

    Grate in depth
    Each show tags back to other issues that add to the theme of the show. Excellent research with a large scope to the story.

    Sadly declining
    Over the past year, this podcast which I’ve loved over time has gotten more difficult to enjoy. I feel more and more pet issues, self promotion, virtue signaling, etc… creeping into what was generally your standard social-democratic podcast. Gimmicks, adds, obsession over Elon Musk but focusing on him when he wants them to, and Israel and their hatred for its people with low oxygen on almost anything else, pop culture and analysis over research etc… I still love the overall energy of the hosts, but I also feel like it’s not geared towards audio anymore, funneling or trying to funnel me to YouTube. If I wanted to look I’d watch YouTube. I feel they are phoning it in. I have just unsubscribed after 3 years of dedicated listening.

    Some More AWESOME
    thank you for making this in podcast form! especially the "Some More News (SMN)" episodes! they are my favorites. Cody is a master of whatever it is he does in those episodes !! (the SMN episodes remind me of John Oliver) love the whole team though, and I really appreciate being introduced to Robert Evans and all of his awesome work! (also conveniently available in podcast form, as well) love you very much!

    I love this podcast
    Like it’s very informative, serious information presented in a sensible way, after all it’s the first and only news source.
  • sailor_puta
    Way too long to get to the news
    Great site but goddamn they spend way too much time jabbering before getting to the actual show
  • guy from wisconsin
    Sound hurts my ears
    Love the show but it’s the only show that when I listen I have to turn the treble a the way down and the boost the bass up to make the show listenable in my car. Not sure if anyone else experiences this but it’s a bummer cause I love the show and the audio sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Seems like it would be an easy fix for whoever does the sound engineering for the show.
  • reasonablecharacter
    You guys are more popular…
    Than Zach Braffs podcast and that’s super rad. Love the pod very muchhhhhhhhhhh
  • Dr0ne6
    The first and only news show
    This is how news should be delivered.
  • DivaSedona
    Best news show
    The first and most correct news show. Fun throwback, I’m listening to an April 2022 episode where y’all say Elon is gonna take over Twitter in marketing name only and boy in this world where it is suddenly rebranded to X but still says send tweet is hilariously optimistic for ye olde us of a.

    Why do I have to review this again?
    I gave them a 5 star review shortly after I first started listening, several years ago. They’re one of the many talented people from the Cracked re-org diaspora of talent that has spread from international war reporting to Emmy-nominated comedy writing. Peers in a really talented group of people I have been lucky enough to hear amazing work from, for years, for free. Their producer features a lot and he’s one of, I assume, many very talented people they added to their team. This is insightful, thoughtful, well-researched and funny! Obviously I am hugely biased in favor since I have been reading, listening and watching their art for years, however it’s not nostalgia that keeps me coming back. These are smart, hard-working and talented people that put out a lot high-quality and in-depth work. They cover many issues better than PBS news hour or NPR.

    Um ok
    Always fair is a joke…right?

    Facts with irreverent humor
    Well-researched, unapologetically liberal, and hilarious!
  • Herr Dougie Bear
    Why the elephants?
    I like the show mostly for the quirky humor. It also opens a window for me on what the younger generation is thinking. But that’s the downside, too. The ignorance can overwhelm the insight. For example, while discussing Biden, it’s all he’s a sleeping old man, unexciting, and white bread—which politically is irrelevant even if true. It says nothing about Biden, but says lots about who’s making the statements. There’s no analysis into what the Biden administration has actually done or not done over the past two year and what it is aspiring to do going forward. It’s all snark and celebrity politics. But, in my view, that’s the weakness of the younger generation raised on snark, unseriousness, and social media. Yet that’s precisely why I like the show.

    Funny/Informative/Comforting
    Katy, Cody and their guests are a breath of fresh air and a nice listen for anyone that likes politics and hot topics from a empathetic progressive perspective.
  • Aid dan
    Good, but a lot of instructions for the end
    Welcome to the next phase of human evolution. Congrats, you did it

    Cody’s showdy
    Is amazing! Always on point. Even when discussing the depressing state of the world Cody manages to make it feel less so. Also love Warmbo.
  • LobePDX
    Wow…
    To call this podcast bad would be doing a disservice to everything ever receiving an unfavorable review. There isn’t anything here worth reviewing.

    Doesn’t reach the high bar set by Even More News
    The podcast highlights just how good the writing on even more news is. The Ads are better than the podcast.

    Katy just repeats liberal crap
    I started watching the YouTube channel back during the pandemic when Katy was gone, it was great and very left leaning. When Katy came back however, the show seemed to become a lot more enlightened centrist. She doesn’t really seem to know what she’s talking about, idk what she is going to do if twitter goes down and she can’t get her opinion from other people. Not to mention she is just a millionaire nothing really effects her.

    I love the Wednesday Show
    The Wednesday shows are way better because Cody gets straight to the content. The Friday shows start with 15-20 minutes of stream of consciousness banter that makes me zone out. Katie just said “let’s get to the news” at the 21 minute time stamp of the 1/13 episode. Seriously!? The “what special day is it” is boring and feels like a social media marketing gimmick. I’m about to start only listening to the Wednesday shows and topical specials if this continues. The content itself, the insight, and the varied guests you have on are excellent. Please bring the Friday show up to the standard of Wednesday. Still 5 stars.

    Some more news
    News and perspectives from left-leaning bias.
  • M.Hendrix
    Not reasonable
    No different from the garbage they rant about.

    Still Here for the Great Sadness
    I moved from iOS from Android after my Google account was left crying in fetal position with nothing in but one sock due to theft & I’be been laughing hard while crying inside deeply. Loving the goods.
  • end the interruptions plz
    Katie stammering
    This review for Katie only. Please think about what is coming out of your mouth before you spend 3 minutes stammering through a stream of consciousness. If you are going to end every rambling with “I mean I don’t know” then it’s ok to just say nothing to begin with.
  • Madmupit
    Good show
    It’s supposedly a comedy but it usually leaves me feeling depressed and angry. 5 stars!
