“After hearing the pace, smarts, and gags of News Weakly, other news satires sound like they’ve been sedated”

“Constantly outshines the actual news media in Australia for his roundups and analysis of everything from Gaza to… this week’s superb montage of White Bastards”

“Focus is on emotional issues and not on information that listeners could use. I know there’s a big market for right wing bashing and this podcast will serve that market with moderately erudite language and content.”

“Heard him on The Gargle, but he doesn’t do pre written bits on that so you don’t realise how good he actually is.
I also thought he was about 60.
So it turns out he’s both a lot younger and a lot better at writing entertaining satire than I thought.”

“I am so glad the Chaser introduced me to Sami! Keep it up. Really appreciate Sami’s uniquely international perspective on our state of affairs.

“Pithy, pokey, punchy and occasionally punny, Sami Shah does well-packaged satire.
PS. It’s us the Aussie’s who can’t pronounce Lack-lan. The Scots/Gaelic gave it to us, we mangled it, turned into Lorch-lan, and now we slam the US. 🤪”

And both his excellent journalism and highly entertaining comedy, which are both extremely insightful, are on full...”Read full review »

“Probably the best source of current affairs analysis available, period. The fact it’s also hilarious is kind of a side bonus.
The only bad thing I can say about this podcast is that it’s such a pity we can’t have more than a weekly episode. A talent such as Sami Shah could really be a Sky News...”Read full review »

“I’ve been enjoying Sami Shah’s contributions to the Chaser Report, but the News Weakly is better, sharper, and even funnier. No bull news summaries with some of the best analogies known to humanity. Loving each ep, and wish it came out more often.”
