Daily Show: Ear Edition; Black History Month: Mission Implausible Debuts

The Daily Show: Ears Edition with Jon Stewart debuts
 Jon Stewart could not resist. He had to return to The Daily Show as fulltime producer and host on Mondays. Given his first appearance on Monday, it initially seems that Stewart has become more like Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes - crotchety and caviling. 

But I'm a long-time fan, so I'll give him time. So, if you can’t get enough of Jon Stewart’s return to “The Daily Show” check out season four of iHeartPodcasts’ The Daily Show: Ears Edition for full episodes, extended content, exclusive interviews and more every weekday.

As Jon Stewart kicks off his “Daily Show” Monday night residency, he and The Daily Show News Team come to grips with the reality of America's two chronologically challenged presidential candidates: Joe Biden and Donald Trump. One is old, the other is old and stupid.

Mission Implausible podcast about conspiracy theories debuts

  What's more common than a Karen on a Starbucks line? Conspiracy theories. Republicans in Congress seem to be the major manufacturers of such outlandish theories. I have to admit. It's fun to hear them, and postulate on the next series of machinations.

That's why the new iHeart podcast Mission Implausible is so timely. Just covering the conspiracy theories birthed by Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Matt Gaetz is a full-time job.

However, this new podcast informs us that "It turns out, the origins of conspiracy theories might not be what you think. As former high-level CIA operatives, John Sipher and Jerry O'Shea used to create fake conspiracies around the world."

The podcast began in late January. The first two episodes were superb -- Jewish Space Lasers and Bill Gates' Microchip Plan. The show offers surprises about these theories. 

 

In their new show from iHeartPodcasts, O'Shea and Sipher execute their own fun and fearless investigation into conspiracy theories past and present to assess what's real. And how. And why. Tune into new episodes each Wednesday.
