Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib

202

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.Join the #braintrust

    Not a good radio voice
    Too abrasive and irritating. Some people have smooth soothing voices, some people don’t. This guy doesn’t have a good radio voice. He should blog his ideas.

    Episode 249 Last week on Earth
    It’s been a while since the last episode. I was starting to think there would not be any more. I enjoyed hearing the perspective of a female comedian. She is very interesting and talented.

    Bens awesome!
    These episodes are keeping me entertained during this pandemic. Keep it up Ben.

    Chauvinistic Pig
    Doesn’t support his friends or stand up for women. Thinks sexist jokes are okay for men to make in the workplace. On top of it all he’s not funny in the least bit. My kids started to watch idiot test and I had to make them change it. His voice is grating on the ears and his “one-liners” are moronic.

    Future Daily Show Host!!!
    The only funny show left in politics in the Trump era. Can’t wait to see Ben Gleib host The Daily Show one day!!!!

    Love this guy
    Herd him on the Jason Ellis show, watched a few clips on YouTube and he's very funny. Check out the American Unicorn episode.

    Ben’s voice is authentic and genuine. He is always moving the needle and taking his show to the next level. The amount of hours he must put into this podcast makes me wonder how he has the time to sleep with the all of the hot Idiotest contestants. Highly recommend this show!!! Keep up the great work!!! -BJ

    A Political Comedy Prophet
    In addition to being a brilliant TV host (IDIOTEST is my favorite game show), Ben is very astute in regards to the political realm. His sharp wit adds a fun flavor to what many (including myself, normally) might glaze over as "boring politics." It's fun checking out his backlog, and seeing how some of his joke predictions become a reality! (check out the "Okay Diane" Bruce Jenner interview , for example)

    Obsurdist hilarity
    Ben should put out way more podcast episodes specially those featuring his namesake. Word for word the funniest podcast out there.
  • Turdblood
    more gleib less b-mo
    this would be the perfect news humor show if only it weren't ruined occasionally by co-hosting by Ben Morrison, who's rambling repetitive lazy song jingle approach to podcasting destroys listenability. it reminds me of the ren and stimpy episode where ren has had enough of stimpy as he looks over and sees him holding his feet rocking back and forth chanting "whooooo! weeeeee!!!" etc. lolling his eyes to the rocking back and forth stupidly, being the source of ren's frustrations. it may have been the space madness episode or the one where stimpy makes a magic happy helmet for ren. either way b-mo makes the show utterly unlistenable and I wish he'd just go away. either that or just try to follow the usual flow of the show and not take a dump all over what could have been a good show. I'd have rated this show much higher but the recent lack of show updates except for ones featuring b-mo, lead me to 3 star.

    Get this now!
    Ben brings a very unique view point to every major news story, from politics to Bieber. He is not afraid to say what he thinks and almost always puts some comedy in every episode. Great every pod! Thanks Ben.

    Not really a review
    I LOVE this show, just trying to give a heads up, there's an issue with the file downloading for the New Year's episode both here and on Smodco
  • ChiveyChivester
    Awesomeness.
    Love the news highlights.
  • Shelandie

    This is the funniest podcast yet (July 17). And I am not just saying that bc it's my birthday. Adam is the best guest, besides your parents. But Ben still has the best Clinton impression.
  • bw2132
    So smart and funny
    Even better if you get on twitter and get involved.
  • bzerull
    Great show
    I'm not sure what it is, but I just enjoy listening to Ben talk. His podcast is a fun listen. I like it best when he has a guest but either way is fun. I love Chelsea Handler, but this guy belongs on the Daily Show
  • F040412
    Gleiber fever!
    This podcast makes my week! Love Bens random singing, makes me smile :-D
  • AlyPoi
    Worth a listen
    This podcast is my favorite. I look forward to listening to it every week. There is a perfect mixture of news and humor, seriousness and goofiness. Listening to this podcast literally makes my day better.
  • boxkicker50
    Facts! who need em
    This guy could be very funny if he would read a little. No fact checking must be allowed. More ignorant BS than the proverbial turkey! Sometimes he is like chalk on a blackbord, skreeeeech!

    I don't think you have to be a Ben Gleib fan to dig this
    I am a Ben Gleib fan & I love this, my wife knows of Ben & really likes this. About the only thing someone might not like is his intro; if you're cautious just bypass it & listen to him with his guest. Like all the podcasts I love, Ben choses great guests that he has a good rapport with. Aisha Tyler is hysterical & sexy, Greg Proops is sooo funny as is Paul Provenza. Even Megan McCain is fun because she's a friend of Ben, she's the only good Republican I've found & it's a good interview. The guy who says he wonders what people sees in this probably doesn't have much of a sense of humor. Ben's a little off the wall for some, I really like his skewed view. Check out one of the episodes I've mentioned & you'll probably subscribe. Also check him out on Chelsea Lately, great show & he's a great panelist. Bottom line: If you like to laugh & think, you'll at least like this.

    Only 5% news
    This podcast has become less about news and more about interviewing celebs. ImBen should start another podcast for interviewing his friends and keep this podcast dedicated to news because when he covers the news its hilarious.
  • MayaKerem
    Makes my week!!
    I do a lot of studying all week and so listening to this podcast every Wednesday on my way home is super enjoyable, and it updates me on the things I missed that week, I laugh. I learn. And I get interested. Recommend it to everyone!!! Love it!!! Maya k.
  • Dave in Long Island
    He sounds like a hippy.
    This podcast should be renamed "The Liberal Hour". Ben sounds as untelligent as humanly possible. What a waste of time.

    Podcast
    I love the humor.
  • Joel Sadler
    The Daily Show of Podcasts
    Ben Gleib's Last Week on Earth Podcast is the closest thing you'll get to the humor and poignancy of John Stewart's The Daily Show. The only shame is it comes only once a week. Thank you and please please keep it up.
  • lockemallup
    Nope!
    Ben is not funny, insightful or even informed.
  • IamAtargetMarket
    Great podcast voice!
    Fun, often insightful and irreverent take on everything that happened last week. On earth. With Ben Gleib.
  • KristyV-NaplesFl
    Love this podcast Ben Gleib
    Ben thank you for bringing real issues to your listener's. I enjoy your podcast and come back to Capt Briens off the hook Marco Island Fl... I liked your act with Micheal Yo!! I'd also like to smoke with you! ;)
  • Bo7656

    Super funny, smart and cute!
  • QueenTshan
    Too funny
    To be honest I had never heard of you until you were on Kevin Smiths show. Now you are the highlight of my week. Thanks for you sarcasm and straight to the point humor. Thanks for giving me lots o giggles and insight every week!
  • jasonhamzy
    Entertaining and relevant!
    I've been listening since the beginning, and they just keep getting better. Each one has something different to offer. Lots of interesting news, not too much celeb gossip, and great guests! One of my favorite podcasts!

  • CarolAnneWhite
    Thank you
    Thanks Ben Gleib for yet another informative synopsis of last week!
  • E. Hammer
    Great stuff.
    I listen to a few Smodcasts every week and Last Week on Earth is among them. Fine work. I like the ones with guests the most, but that isn't a reflection on Gleib so much as I just like the back and forth dynamic. Regardless, I listen to all of them. Definitely worth checking out.

    Last Podcast On Earth
    If it really were the last week on earth and I had to choose only one podcast to subscribe to, it'd be this one. There's A LOT of podcasts out there, even S.I.R. has a plethora, and there's only so much time in the day to cram "free funny" into your ears- but I'm giving this one such high praise because it's one of the few where you can hear the detail and pre-planning that's gone into every single episode as it packs so many moments of improvisational humor and news that's worthy of the best years of Weekend Update. Ben Gleib is hilarious, his guests are endlessly interesting and entertaining, and his interviews & coverage of hot topics are unlike anything you'll get anywhere else. There's not another show out there where I learn as much as I laugh, and have also become aware of charities and causes ranging from F**K CANCER to signing the "Don't Be A Dick Pledge". Wanna know what on earth I'm talking about? SUBSCRIBE! Take it from a guy with his own podcast (Fulle Circle Podcast), doing a show like this and pleasing listeners is HARD work, Gleib makes it sound easy. Thank you, sir, for all the free funny.

    Ear candy for the brain
    Are you someone who enjoys the most important and up to date coverage on; breaking news, politics, social trends, technological advancements and entertainment? Are you someone who wants their reporting to be to the point and without of any personal opinion and a voice void of any humanity? If this is the case then this podcast is not for you. Ben Gleib and his podcast is ear candy for the brain and this podcast is a great way to get a comedic overview of what is happening in the world so that way you won't, A: want to shoot yourself in the face because you find traditional news broadcasting boring. and B: seem like a know nothing when the office water cooler conversation drifts away from who's doing who in the supply closet and where your boss got his toupee.
  • Seen Graphix
    I LOVE this podcast!
    His super funny, and informative. Only thing that could make it enter would be more podcast in a week.
  • Bogofosho
    Brilliant!
    Well done old chum!
  • Ms.Sea.Rose
    Love it
    Hey Ben, thanks for making the news more digestible. i only listened to two sessions so far, but this weeks with Steve Agee was stellar. Don't write these much but I just had to comment. Thanks, hope you go to the top!
  • Ravienicole
    Great Show!
    Please try and bring Blake Griffin back again!!!! You guys are so funny together :) New fan of the show!

    Obamacare
    Whenever the muslim socialist doctors take over, I can only hope they'll prescribe some Last Week on Earth for whatever ails me.
  • The Past Tense of Dig
    I Dig (A lot)
    Not only is this podcast silly and hilarious but it also is very informative. If you are a fan of comedic news and pop culture i.e. The Onion, The Daily Show, The Soup, then you will probably enjoy Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib. Also, I like the current format of only having a guest every other week.
