We Read The Clickbait So You Don't Have To!The Comedy News Show that no one knew that they actually needed. Every week Jarred and Kyle jump into the weirdest and funniest news articles from all over the internet, giving their own brand of off the cuff humor while trying to decipher: news stories so poorly written that there's no way that a professional news syndication published it (we're looking at you Fox News), or crimes so dumb that it seems impossible a person chose to commit them, and of course stories so NSFW that you'll blush just listening to us explain it (and it happens a lot)!We find out if there's actually more to a story than just a headline, we click on the links you're too nervous to click on, and we waste our time so you don't waste yours. So listen to us waste your time because in the end...it's funny!

Those Conspiracy Guys is a history, comedy and true crime podcast from Ireland produced and presented by Gordon Rochford and the topics discussed are varied and wide-ranging; from the speculations on the out-there conspiracy theories like aliens, time travel, and ancient civilisations to researched discussions on the more grounded, historical and provable conspiracies like political and financial corruption, scientific chicanery and secret government agency shenanigans.In long-form group discussions; interviews with authors and experts; live stage shows and streams with an eager audience; and collaborations with other conspiracy creators; Gordo examines all the wildest notions and most unbelievable theories in the ever broadening genre of 'conspiracy'. From the high-concept topics like inter-dimensional lizard men, complicated assassination plots and potential future technologies like alternative simulated universes; to the much more tangible topics like discussing serial killers and mysterious true crime cases; exploring the history of religions and cult leaders; and historically profiling the lives and times of some of the most influential people to have lived, and died.Those Conspiracy Guys brings you on a light hearted and hilarious exploration of these fantastic stories through thoroughly researched and painstakingly contmeplated production; making it easy and fun for these sometimes heavy and complicated topics to be digested, with lashings of good old irreverend Irish craic from host Gordon Rochford and a cavalcade of hilarious comedians, committed creators and fabulously interesting guests.

In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal.British scandals change the course of history.

Why did they do it? And when all is said and done, did anything really change?   From the creators of Business Wars, American Scandal and Ghost Story, comes British Scandal. Each week, hosts Alice Levine and Matt Forde delve into the murkier side of the British elite, from Phone Hacking to Profumo to the short-lived premiership of Liz Truss.

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.

Professor Elizabeth Joh teaches Intro to Constitutional Law and most of the time this is a pretty straight forward job. But when Trump came into office, everything changed. During the four years of the Trump presidency, Professor Joh would check Twitter five minutes before each class to find out what the 45th President had said and how it jibes with 200 years of the judicial branch interpreting and ruling on the Constitution. Acclaimed podcaster Roman Mars (99% Invisible) was so anxious about all the norms and laws being tested in the Trump era that he asked his neighbor, Elizabeth, to explain what was going on in the world from a Constitutional law perspective. Even after Trump left office, there is still so much for Roman to learn. What Roman Mars Can Learn About Con Law is a weekly, fun, casual Con Law 101 class that uses the tumultuous activities of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches to teach us all about the US Constitution.All music for the show comes from Doomtree, an independent hip-hop collective and record label based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

We're casually talkin' all things pop culture, horror, entertainment, horror, art, music, horror, collectibles and more, while providing an outlet for creators to promote their projects! Did we mention we like horror? #SteveAndCryptoShow #ComicBookSwapMeet #Horror #PopCulture #MutantFam
