Lewis Black's Rantcast

by Lewis Black

Lewis Black has some things to get off his chest! With his weekly podcast "Lewis Black’s Rantcast," the Grammy-winning comedian does just that. Channeling his anger in ways only a man who’s devoted his entire life to ranting can do. The tirades are sometimes big, other times small, yet they are always fun-spirited and truly hilarious. No topic is safe from Black’s trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing. Skewering anything and anyone that gets under his skin. On the "Rantcast," Black isn’t the only person getting things off his chest, each week Lewis allows fans to submit their gripes so he can commiserate in their frustrations. Black’s long career includes movie roles in Accepted, the voice of Anger in the Pixar’s "Inside Out," and is currently the longest-running correspondent on Comedy Central’s "The Daily Show."

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Always love to watch anything by Lewis Black. He always has me in stitches. I lost my eyesight a year and a half ago and the good news is I can still listen to Lewis Black and enjoy it and have lots of laughs considering my circumstances thank you Louis for always making me laugh, even during hard times

tcaffrey63 · Jun 2025

“Lewis needs to keep me on staff because it adds the perfect amount of irony to the stupidity our world is steeped in like Earl Grey tea, but what do I know? I’m just a rubber chicken!” Joking aside, I trust Lewis Black to provide a truthful yet satirical look at current events while keeping his fingers on the pulse of the human condition. It’s not lazy to have people rant about what honestly bothers them; it’s genius!

GoldJedi · Dec 2022

He’s has been a comedic pillar of mine for decades. I’ve seen him live many times, and his craft is tight and masterful, even when ad-libbing. This podcast is a great way to still hear him live, and a great way for my index fingers to get a workout as I twitch them along to the rants. Great stress relief like a workout or a massage, but for the ball of anger that sits in the pit of our stomachs. This podcast is a breath of fresh air to get the anger out and approach life again with a refreshed sense of optimism and wisdom. Until we come back next week with a whole new set of problems. Rinse and repeat. Thanks for all the laughs, Uncle Lew. We appreciate you probably more than you know.

Matt Blasing · Nov 2022
