Dystopia Now - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is the humorous/insightful content I’ve been looking for to help process the wacky world we’re living in. If you ever have to hold your tongue around friends when big tech comes up, this might be the pod for you.

Seriously, though - thanks guys. Discovering this feed has been the highlight of my 2025 media consumption thus far. Things are feeling pretty bleak lately, and we’re certainly not getting insightful discussion like this from outlets like NYT and others, who are busy platforming chuds like Yarvin, like dogs chasing traffic while the world burns—and especially not with the wit and insight that y’all provide. I knew I was in for a treat when I saw Gil Duran’s name in the feed, and it was true.

Five big, beautiful stars.

because this podcast will make them pop out of your head every few minutes. Well done, informative, and funny despite the terrifying subject matter. If you, like me, need an occasional laugh so you don’t have a meltdown over the current state of affairs, this pod is perfect. Definitely recommending to all my friends.

Didn’t think I could stomach more Elon discourse, but this show was funny and gave a fresh perspective. Good cadence between the hosts.

Love this podcast. I knew little about the childish sci-fi religion/ delusions of Silicon Valley. Laugh thru your horror that these people have the power to shape our world.
