Krotchett is the curmudgeonly, sharp-witted news podcast you didn’t know you needed. Hosted by the ever-skeptical, ever-irritated Krotchett has a razor-sharp tongue and zero patience for political nonsense—each episode slices through the absurdity of the modern world with biting humor and historical perspective.

"Ein Hirn zu haben und es auch zu benutzen, ist keine Schande und schadet nicht einmal dem Klima." Wann genau hat sich der Verstand eigentlich in den Urlaub verabschiedet? Und wieso ist unser schönes Gehirn so eine verdammt faule Sau geworden? Wenn man das am rechten Rand immer lauter werdende politische Geschehen verfolgt, sich in sozialen Netzwerken bewegt oder die belanglos bumsbanalen Reality-Formate im TV anschaut, könnte einen die blanke Verzweiflung packen. Es scheint, als hätte die kollektive Blödigkeit endgültig gewonnen und der spießigen Vernunft lachend die Beine weggetreten.

Una obra maestra de la sátira política -empapada en vodka y desternillante- sobre el ocaso de un Vladímir Putin senil en un futuro ya muy cercano...Vladímir P envejece a marchas forzadas aislado en un mundo poblado por los recuerdos de sus años en el poder. Para desprenderse del antaño todopoderoso gran líder con todos los honores (y horrores), y no levantar sospechas entre sus súbditos sobre su difícilmente disimulable demencia senil, se le invita con sumo tacto a pasar el resto de sus días confinado en una suerte de exilio vacacional entre los muros de su lujosa dacha, al atento y todo menos desinteresado cuidado de su personal doméstico.

P.J. O'Rourke traces his development from hippie protester to conservative grouch to jaded humorist. Along the way, we are privy to his strange, twisted days as editor in chief of National Lampoon, as well as the in-depth looks at appropriate sports for middle-aged Republicans, namely those which can be engaged in with a smuggled Havana between the teeth - fly-fishing, bird hunting, deep-sea fishing, and of course, golf. Plus, you'll hear O'Rourke's take on the Virtues of Automobiles - because what good was oil doing sitting in the ground for millions of years? - and many other hilarious rants in this off-the-wall collection by America's premier political humorist.

Be(com)ing Nigerian: A Guide is a satirical collection that takes a searing look at how different forms of power are abused, negotiated, and performed both in the private and public realm. Through attempting to satirise those who abuse privilege or power, it recognises that power can be found everywhere: in politics, business, religious institutions, and in homes. From the exploration of religious hypocrisy in How to Worship the Nigerian God, to A Letter to My Future Kidnapper, the collection is a jab at Nigerian society and what it means to be a Nigerian.

This book is important, and not just because it's about Donald Trump. It is essential listening for anyone who wants to discover the official Trump Brand Origin Story, to learn his positions on vital issues like the military - "Are These the Biggest Missiles We Have?," science - "If Einstein Was So Smart, Why Wasn't He Rich?" and good government - "Of the Good People, By the Good People, and For the Good People."

The streets of eighteenth-century Dublin were rife with an appalling level of poverty. Desperate mothers regularly begged for alms to feed their children, and although passersby might have occasionally contributed a few coins, no large-scale remedy had proved remotely practical or effective.

Bei Meinungsmonopol geht es um echte Diskussionen statt vorgefertigter Empörung. Robert und Sven reden über politische und gesellschaftliche Themen – mal ernsthaft, mal mit einem satirischen Augenzwinkern. Wir glauben nicht an die eine Wahrheit, sondern an die Kraft der Debatte. Was wir nicht können: langweilige Meinungseinheit. Was wir lieben: Widerspruch, Reibung und manchmal auch einfach gepflegten Unsinn.
