Some More News is a current-events comedy show for people who want jokes that can survive contact with the footnotes. It treats politics, tech, policing, war, and media spectacle as connected parts of the same exhausting machine. The pace is fast. The patience is low. Recent episodes move from Trump election threats to police militarization, from AI company claims to J.D. Vance’s war positioning, from Supreme Court developments to the use of grieving families and vulnerable groups as political stagecraft. The show can sound chaotic, but the chaos is usually carrying a legal distinction, a procedural detail, a funding number, or a very specific institutional failure. Its scripted episodes often start with a strange image or absurd premise, then tighten into an argument about power. Its conversational episodes have a looser rhythm, with Katie Stoll, Cody Johnston, Jonathan, guests, and David Bell reacting to stories as they mutate across the week. Ed Zitron’s appearance on AI, for example, centers on the gap between what a model is prompted to do and what companies claim it chose to do. The election episode focuses on the limits of presidential power, the Constitution, executive orders, voter eligibility, and the fear that process itself can be attacked. The police militarization episode traces how local departments came to think and equip themselves like soldiers, including grants and hand-me-downs. The war-focused episodes are angrier and more anxious, especially when threats against civilians or negotiations become props in domestic political positioning. Even the ad breaks and outros can slide into surreal riffs, fake movie titles, running bits, and sudden self-interruption. That looseness is part of the texture. The show does not aim for detached balance. It is more interested in asking why obviously dangerous claims keep getting politely translated into normal pundit language. The comedy is sharp, sometimes silly, and often openly exasperated. The analysis is left-leaning, anti-authoritarian, and suspicious of institutions that hide harm behind procedure. It is a good fit for listeners who can handle tonal whiplash: goofy banter one minute, constitutional alarm the next. It is less suited to anyone looking for calm headlines or neutral horse-race chatter. Some More News turns the week’s political absurdity into a detailed case file, then throws the case file through a comedy grinder.
Made for: For listeners who want left-leaning news comedy that is angry, specific, and more interested in power than pundit choreography. Best for people who can follow rapid jokes, legal detail, and dark political subjects in the same breath.
What sets it apart: The show pairs rant-speed comedy with unusually concrete sourcing instincts, turning procedural details and institutional language into the center of the joke. It can be absurd without becoming weightless.
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.
