Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell

2012–2022 · 15 seasons

A rapid-fire, gleefully silly skewering of the week's news, dense with wordplay and surreal running gags that rewards close attention.

Overview: News satire. A half-hour weekly round-up, branding, inoculation and crutching of all the important news stories of the week. Along with a like-minded Think Tank of reporters and pundits, offering not only reportage and analysis of the week’s events but discussion, argument and dissection of what’s making the world turn every which way.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and whimsical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Politics, media, corruption, power
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
