Binging Fox News: Getting a Gutful of Gutfeld!

About this episode

The episode discusses the hosts' experience watching Fox News and its implications on political comedy and satire.

On episode 302 we discuss the time we watched a lot of Fox News – particularly the show Gutfeld! This is a Right-wing alternative to more liberal late-night talk shows like Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We use this example to talk about broader issues of caricatures of the Left, political comedy and satire, free speech and cancel culture.
