Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo
Hosted by nationally touring comedian John Poveromo, Dystopia Tonight dares to ask the question: Is this too much? Are we hurtling through a dystopian nightmare, trapped in an endless, self-perpetuating whirlpool of clickbaity headlines, viral memes, and doomscroll-fueled chaos? A carnival of absurdity where every click feels like another nail in society’s coffin? Or is this the moment before we wake up, pull the plug, and rewrite the story — hoping someone remembered to hit record? Either way, welcome to Dystopia Tonight.

It’s not every day you talk to someone who’s lived a full music career as the lead guitarist for @10000maniacs and now helps guide the future of comedy as the manager and talent programmer for @ntlcomedycenter. Loved this convo with Jeff Erikson after we met at the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival.
Some conversations just feel easy and electric. That was my chat with @miacomedy at the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival.
