Lewis Black"s Rantcast

Lewis Black has some things to get off his chest! With his weekly podcast "Lewis Black’s Rantcast," the Grammy-winning comedian does just that. Channeling his anger in ways only a man who’s devoted his entire life to ranting can do. The tirades are sometimes big, other times small, yet they are always fun-spirited and truly hilarious. 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

235 - Kash Patel Has Crazy Eyes!

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/09/24

This week Lewis discusses the recent congressional hearings involving Kash Patel and his unsettling demeanor and lack of respect during questioning at the Congressional Hearings. But that’s not all that’s in the news as the recent dismissal of Jimmy Kimmel raises eyebrows for Lewis. Particularly since he’s a comedian himself and constant advocate for the ability to speak one’s mind. A disturbing trend we’re seeing too much of in society right now. For advertising opportunities

234 - Is This Really The Turning Point?

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/09/17

Lewis takes a hard look at the idea of this past week’s events actually being a turning point in the US. Mostly because he feels it’s been said before. Inflammatory rhetoric that seems to do nothing but prove we need more adults in the room at a time of crisis. Buckle up because there seems to be nobody with a strong hand on the wheel. Yes, the political landscape is a combo platter of ineffectiveness and it seems to be seeping in more and more aspects of our society. For advertising

2025/09/10

This week on the Rantcast Lewis delves into the absurdities of current and the chaotic nature of what the Boss is doing in the White House, the silly notion and the implications of presidential immunity, and the ongoing debates surrounding vaccinations and public health. And someone please let us know what exactly is going on with RFK Jr's voice?This week's rants come from a recent stop in Santa Cruz where the fans there delivered with long stories about coffee and short ones about sourdough bread

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/07/23

By the time you are reading this Lewis is in South Africa hanging out with some wild animals on a safari. While there are a few parallels between the wild animals running things over here and the wild animals over there, there are also many differences and Lewis runs them all down. Also, this week you are in for a special treat in that the rants come to us from a live Rant Is Due Lewis performed with some friends while up in Chautauqua, NY performing a handful of curated comedy shows.

230 - No Guardrails

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/07/16

Well, this was a week where a lot of the checks and balances seemed to disappear before our eyes. That's right, guardrails that used to protect us seem to not be that much of a concern for The Boss and his people. Which probably means it's a big concern for most regular people.For advertising opportunities email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rantcast@thesyn.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ___________________ TOUR DATES: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ GET

229 - Independence From Empathy

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/07/09

Lewis is back from his week-long comedy curation in upstate New York where he spent his 4th of July performing live. He returned to the madness of the day to commiserate with the rest of us about how the Boss’ Big Beautiful Bill isn’t really any of those things. But at least he has Prime Day to look forward too, right? He’s planning on following that up with a safari in Africa, where he hopes by the time he’s scheduled to return, he will be allowed to.

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/07/02

It’s time to celebrate our nation’s independence. But are we in a renaissance of military spectacular-ness? The Boss seems to think so. Because our recent non-congress approved exercise in Iran would have you to believe that all the Middle East’s issues were solved in just a day or two. It’s worth of giving the Boss a Nobel Peace Prize, right? National intelligence saying otherwise have something different to say. But Lewis is passing the holiday in upstate New York at the Chautauqua Institute

227 - Two Weeks Again?

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/06/25

It’s take 2 of this week’s Rantcast. Why? Because he completed an entire recording of this week’s episode only to find out the next day enough happened in the world wo warrant a re-recording of the episode. Hence the “Again” being added to the title of the episode. This week Lewis dives into subject matter such as the Middle East, counter terrorism, and discrimination. Really light topics for such a sweltering week. For advertising opportunities

226 - Toy Soldiers

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/06/18

Well, this past week was event-filled. Absolutely insane events like The Boss’ birthday parade thinly veiled as a celebration of America’s military. While that event appeared to be a dud, it still positioned our military personnel as Toy Soldiers. If that wasn’t enough to infuriate you Toy Soldiers were also being utilized in LA to settle non-existent unrest. Almost enough nonsense to forget that totally normal things like Father’s Day occurred as well. Lewis took the opportunity to honor his late

225 - Insanity Squared

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/06/11

We have ourselves a snappy title for snappy times. This past week we caught ourselves in the middle of the Donald Trump/Elon Musk falling out. That’s right two grown men of unimaginable privilege calling each other names in public. Insanity on all fronts and we all need to figure out how to lessen our exposure to it all because we all know it’s bad for us. Whilean ill-advised gameshow pitch about immigrants is a terrible way to do that, perhaps you take a hint from Lewis and just get a dog. For

224 - Mucho More Madness

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/06/04

Madness has taken its hold on all of us. In Lewis’ case it’s actually been Mucho More Madness. He’s tired of talking about it, but what “it” is even is under debate because the truth doesn’t matter. Even after a long holiday break the Mucho More Madness is still too much. Elon was drummed out of Washington, DC. Presumably to detox. The MaHa movement definitely emphasizes the “ha.” But it appears Lewis might have secret weapon to take his mind off things… perhaps a furry little friend? It’s all in

223 - WTF?

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/05/21

WTF might just be the best way to collectively describe what’s happening currently. As we head into the long holiday weekend we’re reminded of how much that simple phrase can define things. Whether it be Lewis attempting to make sense of what his favorite sports teams are doing. Perhaps it can describe anything that RFK did in the last 10 days. Or maybe it can be attributed to the Boss’ trip to the Middle East or his “big beautiful bill”. The reality is you can apply a simple WTF to almost anything,

222 - But The Pope Is An American

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/05/14

This past weekend we celebrated our Mothers. While they are the most important people in the world to most, to Catholics around the world the selection of a new Pope also ranks up there in importance. White smoke was seen at The Vatican and we have ourselves a new pontiff and this onecame with a curveball too as he’s from right here in America. That’s right, Bob from Chicago is the new Pope. A statement we’re bound to get a lot of mileage from. For advertising opportunities

2025/05/07

Lewis has returned from some shows performed at his Alma Mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Was it a fun visit for nostalgia trip? Or, as he put it, might’ve been an acid flashback. But while Lewis had all the intentions about talking about performing at his college longer, the news of the day needed to be addressed and boy is there a lot – from The Boss’s declaration for everyone to have to tighten their doll and pencil budgets, how AI might be picking a new Pope, or a

2025/04/30

There are no pleases here, just a hard statement of STOP! A simple request that Lewis makes on behalf of all of us. Whether it be another Signalgate, more silliness out of the mouths of public health officials, the Pope passing away, oh yeah and remember George Santos? He finally faced justice.

Lewis is back from Georgia where he held his invitational golf outing and has some people to thank for their work in making it all happen and the people at the Luv U Project who work day in and day out to better assist people’s mental health. But as soon as he’s back from a couple day sabbatical, the nonsense of the news has returned. Read more about The Luv U Project https://theluvuproject.org/ More details about Lewis’ Golf

Lewis Black"s Rantcast ·

2025/04/09

There’s a joke in there somewhere but Lewis can’t seem to find the setup to start it. It’s so psychotic in real life that you need to be even more psychotic to write the setup for the joke. Why the title? Well that's mostly because when you can't seem to wrap your head around what's happening, you say "sure, why not?"For advertising opportunities email: rantcast@thesyn.com ___________________ TOUR DATES: http://www.lewisblack.com/tickets GET

Like many Lewis has something to look forward to this week because baseball is back and he has a full season of watching the Baltimore Orioles to distract him from the madness of life. Which, as the title of this week's Rantcast, seem to be coming at us at the pace of at least once daily. From Signalgate to the FDA. Are things getting too woke for you? Then ban all the words! Graduate students are disappearing from our streets and a New Jersey lady needs her emotional support chickens. But hey! At
