02News Weakly
The news, punched in the headlines.
A weekly satirical news podcast—reported, argued, occasionally appalled, and accountable to listeners rather than an algorithm.
Every Saturday
News should explain power. Satire should show its workings.
The public edition remains available in every normal podcast app. This site holds the public editorial layer—transcripts, citations, reading lists and documentary editions—while Patreon carries the supporter extras.
