from Burnin’ Daylight Hosted by Matt McKinley

I don’t know if Trump fixed the Middle East… but it’s been three whole days since anyone launched a holy war. That’s gotta count for something. Join me (Matt McKinley), Aaron, Rob, and Tim as we recap one of the most chaotic weeks in recent geopolitical history with all the grace of a softball team that hasn’t played in eight years. Israel’s blowing up Iranian nuclear sites, Trump’s mashing Diet Coke buttons, Rob’s getting pegged by MTG in a hypothetical sex-for-peace deal, and somehow, we're still managing to laugh through the apocalypse. We break down: 🇮🇱 Israel's surprise offensive on Iran (and why submarines might be cooler than we thought) 💣 Trump’s two-minute pressers and “obliterated” diplomacy 🤡 JD Vance’s nuclear button story & Rob’s slow descent into Trump-induced Stockholm syndrome 🏆 A Nobel Peace Prize for the guy who dropped 30,000 lb bunker busters? 🎯 Libertarians, regime change, and Captain Hindsight syndrome 👖 MTG, BJ buttons, and the congressional thirst trap that broke Rob 🧠 Biden’s slow fade and the myth of media objectivity 🕵️‍♂️ Conspiracy theories ranging from Iranian succession to Nazi villages in Argentina And as always, the worst takes, best dick jokes, and absolutely zero journalistic integrity.

Let's Get Haunted Aly & Nat | Daylight Media Welcome to "the only investigative journalism podcast about sh*t that may or may not have even happened in the first place"! Brought to you by besties Aly and Nat, Let's Get Haunted is here to bring scary tales of hauntings, aliens, urban legends, and unsolved mysteries to the masses. Enjoy your daily dose of paranormal year-round with LGH! Explicit Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum Daylight Media I’m Michael Rosenbaum, I’ve spent the better part of the last two decades in and out of film and television - mostly known for playing the bald dude on the show Smallville. I’m the guy that you probably don’t know by name, but when you see my face you might say “oh, that guy from that thing.” I’ve befriended some of the most talented people in the business, but it wasn’t until I started inviting them into my home that I realized, I didn’t really know these people. What started as me having some fun, quickly evolved into something I’ve fallen in love with. What I’ve discovered is that all these people aren’t that different from you and me. They have the same insecurities and flaws that we all deal with every day. In a dark, yet enlightening way... I find a lot of comfort in that. I invite you all to join me while I get inside each of these fascinating people. Explicit I Think You're Overthinking It Chris Hardwick | Daylight Media Hey it’s me! Chris Hardwick! This new old podcast is now called “I Think You're Overthinking It," because, well, I am an incurable overthinker. Are you? Probably! Why else would you have clicked on this? Do you lie awake at night analyzing some random conversation you had in 2009 on a loop? Or every one since then? In an economy of attention where our minds are on overdrive every second of every day it seems damn near impossible to pump the brakes on our inner chatter. We might feel okay when we’re distracted externally with work or streaming or scrolling, but when we’re not, BOY can we think ourselves into holes—these holes keep us stuck and unable to feel peace or pursue our goals. My hope is to inspire people to take a breath, get their brain out of the way a little, and take one step forward at a time. I started many things in middle age: guitar, piano, Italian, PARENTING, even farming (I still don't think I'm ready for goats, Lydia)…and what I realized is that it’s never Explicit Julian Dorey Podcast Julian Dorey | Daylight Media "PURE SPEC" - JDP features diverse guests & topics including: Wild Stories, Current Events, Geopolitics, True Crime, Society & Culture, History, Tech, Investigative Journalism and much more.
