このコンテンツについて

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.

  • 163 - Q+A, LA, and the IRGC are set us up the bomb
    2025/06/13

    NEWS WEAKLY 163 – 14th June, 2025

    This week on News Weakly, it’s bombs, bullets, and broadcast farewells as Israel goes full Mission: Impossible in Tehran, Donald Trump liberates LA from the tyranny of democracy, and Australian TV finally kills the panel show—freeing up at least 40 vaguely progressive journalists to start Substacks.


    Top Stories of the Week:

    Everything is fine in the Middle East! Israel totally didn’t just bomb another country! Why are you even worried?

    Also, America invades LA!

    And, Australian TV forces more journalists on the dole!


    Quote of the Week:

    “If your security plan requires bombing five countries before breakfast, you might not be the victim—you might be the geopolitical equivalent of a guy who’s been through five messy breakups but insists all his exes were crazy.”

  • 162 - "The Wall at Werethere"
    2025/06/05

    NEWS WEAKLY 162 – 5th June, 2025

    This week on News Weakly, an editorial edition that's more of a dramatic reading of a short story I've written. It's about how a utopia slides into dystopia with the best of intentions.

  • 161 - Return of the Mad Abbott
    2025/05/30

    NEWS WEAKLY 161 – 31st May, 2025

    This week on News Weakly, Tony Abbott emerges from the political crypt, COVID returns for its remix tour, and Gaza and Sudan redefine “humanitarian aid” into a phrase meaning “good luck, you’re on your own.” All that, plus Sussan Ley's factional juggling act and a Rick Astley variant you can’t get out of your lungs.


    Top Stories of the Week:

    FRONT BENCH PRESS!

    NEW VARIANT, OLD COVID!

    FAMINE, FLOUR & FRIENDLY FIRE!


    Quote of the Week:

    “Tony Abbott wants to fix the Liberal Party the way a chainsaw fixes a jigsaw puzzle: loudly, destructively, and while muttering something about the glory days of John Howard.”
