No topic is safe from Black’s trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing. Skewering anything and anyone that gets under his skin. On the

214 - He’s Not The President, He’s The Boss

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/03/19

It’s another week of us trying to make sense of the world around us. Turns out it’s a tough task. Lewis hit the road for the first time in a while and with that involves Lewis shaking the rust and remembering his act and parts he wants to add. During this process it’s also important to stay off Twitter as the feedback can be tough on one’s mental health. Meanwhile protests have popped up pretty much everywhere you can think of just in time for the Democrats not being able to form a unified front

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/03/05

It’s time for part 2. Lewis finds himself still in the train of thought as last week, just truly baffled by recent events. And since things are a nonstop firehose of bullshit, there’s even more to break down. The Washington Post takes heat for boneheaded decisions and what exactly went down in the Oval Office when Zelenskyy visited?___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH:

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/02/26

This week Lewis has so much to cover that it’s a 2-parter! Our current state of affairs has us all having the collective experience of living what one person’s idea of reality is. Whether it be terrible cabinet picks or the mess that mass layoffs are causing, there just doesn't seem to be enough oxygen (or air) in the room, because we only get to breathe the King's oxygen.. While in the past we might’ve taken ourselves out into the woods and yell at trees at the top of our lungs, it’s cold outside

211 - How Crazy Can Crazy Get?

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/02/19

Things are getting crazy out there and not just our current political climate. Lewis was remindedof that this week when the fairly simple task of getting a new computer was met with the corporate machinations of not 1 but 2 different organizations pissing him off. The frustration grew when Uber Eats got involved, yes you read that correctly Uber Eats. It’s a wild tale of one man trying is best to not lose his mind as he navigates the ins and outs of companies wanting to help, but for some reason

210 - Idiot's Delight

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/02/12

Lewis has always liked the title of the play Idiot’s Delight and it certainly seems to be describing the times that we are currently in. As the world spent a collective moment watching The Super Bowl this weekend, Lewis has a message for the NFL and its almighty self-importance. Big game aside, each passing day seems to sound a red alert in our nation’s capital and though he might be able to give our Leader credit for one thing, that good will is dashed almost immediately with bad cabinet choices,

209 – CHAOS!

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/02/05

Chaos, it seems to be all around us these days and its pretty much the last thing Lewis wants to talk about though he feel compelled to. Chaos is the feature of this administration and our Leader it at its center. From unfathomable Executive Orders to cabinet members without any sort of qualifications for the job they’re being nominated for. And just when you think it could not get much worse, we get unspeakable tragedies like the DC plane crash and totally botched response. But we are not alone, as

208 - Hibernation And The Commanders

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/01/29

It’s the time of year where Lewis realizes just how smart bears are for just shutting it down for the winter. Commanders because his favorite football team made a fantastic run this season and almost made it to the big game. Now if they can just do something about their name. Oh, and the team's former owner sucks.___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH:

207 - hahahahaHaHaHaHaHAHAHAHA

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/01/22

Many might find it funny, but the joke is on us as a new president begins his term. The punchlines seem to write themselves even before Lewis can make the joke. Bad executive orders are a joke, the cabinet is a joke, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, buying Greenland? The punchlines write themselves! Essentially we’ve lost the laughter and have stopped laughing. As a comedian or not, its probably a bad thing.___________________ For advertising opportunities email:

206 - January 6th

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/01/08

As Lewis records his first Rantcast episode of 2025 on January 6th, he’s reminded of where we were 4 years ago on this day. Over the years the US has seen its fair share of political unrest, so comparisons become quite inevitable. Right now it seems like people are at odds because the reality of what even occurred that day continues to to be in question. That “reality” alone might just be the lasting impression of what happened back in 2020. And the problems stillpersist as we grapple with

205 - Happy Near Years! Really!?

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/01/01

It's the last Rantcast of 2024. Well, technically the first of 2025 and a recap of the year that just wrapped is in order. The difference here is that it's been done before, so the essence of the message is to wish you well for the new year.___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you want to

204 - No Drones For Christmas

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2024/12/25

It's December 25th and it's not only Christmas Day but the first day of Hanukkah. Something that doesn't happen often. In fact, it's so rare that all the drones tormenting New Jersey stopped flying apparently. Must be clearing the path for Santa. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET MERCH: http://www.lewisblack.com/collections ____________________ SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS Have something you

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2024/12/18

Lewis reflects on the closing of the West Bank Cafe in New York. After 40+ years his friend and owner Steve Olsen is closing the location. The West Bank is a performance space where Lewis began his career on stage. He tells the story about how he began there as an aspiring playwright performing plays and his evolution to a stand-up comedian because of the space Steve fostered for creative types to perform. As a special treat this podcast includes a brief performance from Lewis at the West Bank on

Lewis just wrapped up his last tour date of 2024 so he's taking the week off and lying low.

Lewis is back in the states after his trip to escape Thanksgiving and not only has the holiday of focus changed, so has the weather. We’re officially in the stretch of the winter and it seems he’s yet to outrun the madness of everything, holidays, politics, AI chatbots, and even some school prayer.

2024/11/27

It’s Lewis’ 200th episode of The Rantcast! It also happens to be Thanksgiving. The time of year where Lewis heads out of the country with friends. Something he’s done for many years. So, while we celebrate reaching a pretty impressive milestone of the podcast, we also keep traditions alive. It’s also nice that a happy side effect of travelling around this time is it makes the Christmas season just a little be quicker. PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW'S SPONSOR VIIA - If you are 21+ visit

2024/11/20

This past weekend Lewis performed some stand-up shows live in the Pacific Northwest. On a recent stop in Seattle, WA he decided to read some fan-submitted rants. And they were a doozy, ranging from the simple like complaints about food, to worries about the future of America's youth. Enjoy.

Lewis is out on the Fall leg of his Goodbye Yeller Brick Road tour and this past weekend the show rolled through a few stops in Kansas. On Sunday night in Salina, KS he took to the stage at the Steifel Theater for the Performing Arts and read some fan rants. They ranged from hot takes about Daylight Savings Time, political ads, and our never-ending desire for social media attention. Enjoy.

196 - VOTE!

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2024/10/30

The anxiety about the election is at an all-time high. But that’s not the most important thing on Lewis’ mind. He’s deep in the week’s NFL games and how his Commanders are performing with a spectacular comeback that broke him out of his sleep-deprived weekend of shows down south. Back on the election front, Lewis has hot takes about the state of things. It forces him to make a decision that he doesn’t take much joy in or does lightly. And that is publicly endorsing a candidate. We end with a piece
