  • サマリー

  • News Weakly is the sharpest, funniest, and most professional news satire podcast in Australia—where we punch the news in the headlines… weakly.

    Hosted by multi-award-winning comedian, journalist, and author Sami Shah, the show delivers a fast-paced, fiercely intelligent breakdown of the biggest stories in politics, global affairs, and culture. With a background that spans stand-up comedy, radio broadcasting, and serious journalism—including bylines in The New York Times, The Guardian, and ABC RN—Sami cuts through the noise with biting satire, relentless wit, and just enough sarcasm to keep us all from screaming into the void.

    News Weakly isn’t just about the headlines—it’s about the hypocrisy, the absurdity, and the sheer chaos behind them. Whether it's Australian politics, international disasters, or billionaires doing dumb things, Sami delivers a fresh, fearless take that keeps listeners informed and entertained.

    With a growing and engaged audience of news junkies, comedy lovers, and politics obsessives, News Weakly is the perfect space for advertisers looking to reach smart, curious, and highly engaged listeners.

    Get in on the conversation. Stay ahead of the spin. And never trust a headline again.

    NEWS WEAKLY – 156 (5th May, 2025): Post-Election Dissection and Erection

    Every week, Sami Shah (ABC, The Gadfly)—comedian, journalist, and award-winning writer of words—copies the news stories off of a website then pretends like he wrote them himself, then starts a debate about who actually does own the news, while claiming he didn't copy, just takes inspiration very very literally.


    TOP STORIES OF THE WEEK

    Peter Dutton gives orgasms!

    The Greens are green with envy!

    Who polls the pollsters!


    QUOTE OF THE WEEK

    “A man whose idea of unity was dog-whistling so loudly even actual dogs said, ‘Mate, bit much.’”

    – On Peter Dutton's leadership style

    154 Editorial Edition: Consistency of Hypocrisy
    2025/04/18

    NEWS WEAKLY – EPISODE 154

    “Consistency of Hypocrisy” – 19 April, 2025


    TOP OPINION OF THE WEEK:

    Guantanamo never closed, the rules-based order never applied, and now the cruelty once exported is finally coming home.

    Also:

    • Australians detained and deported from the US despite valid visas
    • Transgender travellers profiled and imprisoned in Villawood
    • Peter Dutton wants to cancel your citizenship
    • And Trump’s latest plan? Outsourcing US citizens to El Salvadoran prisons!

    From offshore detention to ICE raids, from CIA coups to the maskless face of empire, this week we look at what happens when systems built for them start turning on us—and why moral consistency, not just outrage, is what really matters.


    QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

    “If you only care when it’s you, that’s not morality. That’s narcissism with an accent.”
