World's a Mess is a whirlwind ride through the terrifying thing that we call modern life. Every week newsmen Alex Smith and James Kislingbury act as your guide through all the absurd, sublime, and Australian new that will fit into a 45 minute show.
James Kislingbury and Alex Smith
GAIDEN #13-- In a vain attempt to wrap up the past two weeks, James waxes on about the Supreme Court's strikes against human rights, Boris Johnson finally resigning, the clout chasers that just overthrew the president of Sri Lanka, the absolute state of the TERF menace, and Shinzo Abe getting caught slacking (RIP). All this and more, I guess. Support our show at Patreon.com/quality! Follow WaM on Twitter @WorldsAMessPod. Follow James on Twitter @kislingtwits and at https://linktr.ee/JimboKberryBt .

GAIDEN #11-- Today James avoids talking about the major news stories of the day in favor of getting in and out as fast as he can, like some sort of a tactical f*ck-up unit. It's a quick one, but we got plenty of garbage to go around. Today he talks about Russia's dumbest assassin, a Florida man's one-man-war on God, and two quick stories about absconded apes and a famous Japanese landmark. And that's it.

GAIDEN #10-- I think this was one of those weeks Lenin was talking about where decades happen. Not a great one. Anyways, on today's side story, James talks about Madison Cawthorn (part three in a series of three, we swear), then ignoring the Supreme Court's supreme f*ck up, he talks about Russian soldiers getting poisoned, a super dosed ubermensch that is going to virus jail, and a hero fox cut down in his prime.

GAIDEN #8-- James once more delves back into the depressing and ridiculous mythology of Madison Cawthorn. After that he gets into a Catholic anarchist anti-abortion activist (?) and her dead baby collection, the rise of Japan's do-nothing man, and what Azerbaijan is cooking up in the former-Armenia. All this and even dumber stuff on today's World's a Mess (which was recorded on, like April 29th, so don't DM me about not talking about some stuff. I KNOW). Support our show at Patreon.com/quality!
