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.

After taking Thursday off, Alex is back to rant about the things that are happening in the world. He starts off by talking about COVID-19 and the rising demand for N95 respirators now that the CDC and US government is suggesting people now use those instead of regular cloth masks. That would be fine and makes sense, but the US government seized and hoarded a massive stockpile of N95s back in 2020, and didn't give any away, even to medical professionals. Alex brings that to attention, and is annoyed
