Dystopia Now

This show is introducing me to a whole new landscape of technology gone mad. The good humored approach takes some of the sting out of it but this is a major challenge to the future of the human race. The title of the pod is perfect. Welcome to The Age of FUBAR!

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.

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.

I feel like I have discovered the “missing” information I have been seeking. The origin story propelling the crazy train we are all on is finally coming into focus. People need to better understand these ideologies. I will do my part to pass this knowledge on in my pro-democracy efforts. The two of you make a wonderful team and are enjoyable to listen to. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
