Hi. Right-wing politicians, lawyers, and grifters (and some liberals) want to convince you that trans youth are the victims of a social contagion and that the majority of those who transition will detransition. This is a lie that puts all trans people at risk. Get the world's news at https://ground.news/SMN to compare coverage and see through biased coverage.

Hi. Now that Trump is president... again... we're going to look at how he and his party are always focused on problems that aren't really problems (DEI, immigrants, and censorship) instead of problems that are (climate-enhanced wildfires, oligarchy, and actual censorship).

Hi. On the first Even More News of 2025, Kaveh Hoda from "The House of Pod" is back to talk about the devastating fires threatening Los Angeles and how Mark Zuckerberg's decision to eliminate fact-checking on Meta will make our information environment even worse. Plus, we ask him a bunch of health questions since he's a doctor and it's easier than making an actual appointment.

Hi. We'll be back next week with all-new episodes of Some More News & Even More News, but to finish off our holiday break, here's a new episode of Way Less News where Katy, Cody, and Jonathan discuss their hyperfixations, trashy erotica, romantic leftist blindspots, and Timothée Chalamet.

Hi. Happy New Year! We're posting an episode on New Year's Day for some reason. But it's not a new episode. It's a replay of our January 2022 Some More News Episode about Martin Luther King Jr. and how conservatives (and many moderates) love to pretend that MLK's entire vision was about that one quote from that one speech that they point to over and over and over. Turns out the guy had more to say! So here's that episode with a new intro from Cody Johnston (and writer/director of this episode Will Gordh).

Hi. In the final Even More News of 2024, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan discuss the mostly-explained-but-some-still-unexplained phenomena in the sky, the obstacles that prevented Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from becoming the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, and what would really happen if Donald Trump privatized the post office.
