Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib

News. Pop Culture. Politics. Weird stories. EVERYTHING that happened during the last week. Comedian Ben Gleib catches you up on it all, while making fun of basically everything. Some people tell him this podcast is the way they prefer to get the news. He thinks these people are geniuses. Sometimes he’s joined by celebrity guests like comedians, actors, politicians, Four-Star Generals, and his parents. But mostly he talks to himself. If you’ve been in a coma for the last 7 days, this podcast should not be high on your list of things to tackle.

Did Gleib find any common ground between controversial Republican host from Glen Beck's TheBlazeTV Tomi Lahren and liberal founder & host of The Young Turks Cenk Uygur? On opposite ends of the spectrum, the two of them couldn't be further apart politically, yet they joined Ben for an honest conversation about Muslims, immigration, money in politics, and voter ID laws.
