Description
Not the news. The Short News.
Host Alex Madore returns to the charged, comedic, and blunt voice that made TSN a cult favorite during 2020’s lockdowns — blending raw honesty, political satire, strange headlines, and personal storytelling into a condensed format designed for people who’ve seen too much - but this time he’s not a college student learning the ropes.
From systemic injustice to personal recovery, from metaphysical weirdness to pop culture absurdity, The Short News covers it all — with a a firmer stance, sharper bits, and zero allegiance to either side of the aisle.
