From sexuality and relationships, to tech bigwigs, drinking, and all of the best unpredictable news stories of late, The Short News Podcast feels like a cross between a diary reading and a comedic, rant-like monologue designed for the stage.

Whatever survival and preparation means to you – whether apocalypse movies have warped your view of the future, or the current state of your government and society has left you craving an off-grid life – this podcast talks it out in an open and surprisingly genuine, human way.
