The Short News Podcast

Not the news. The Short News. Host Alex Madore returns with a sharper, quieter voice — blending raw honesty, political satire, strange headlines, and personal storytelling into a 20-minute format designed for people who’ve seen too much and still give a damn. From systemic injustice to personal recovery, from metaphysical weirdness to pop culture absurdity, The Short News covers it all — with a softer tone, a firmer stance, and zero allegiance to either side of the aisle.
