I wholeheartedly enjoy the snark and laughs with my increasingly-doomsday-feeling news. I drive an hour each way to get my kiddos to school in the mornings and I gladly fill my coffee cup, throw in an earbud and get caught up on current events while I drive. Daily Beans and I’ve Had It podcast are my daily routine and I love it.

Humor in dark days

If you want your news with actual facts but not boring. News with swearing is the way to go. They end every podcast with happy stories. Can not recommend enough.
