06 AUGUST 2025 MESSAGE:

Thanks for tuning in.

Podtube is moving to a new system designed to better serve its community—with one important change: it now requires user registration. Don’t worry—a Free tier is available to everyone, so anyone can join.

Why the shift?

The new system aims to tackle some tough challenges:

- First, we’re removing bots and automated abuse that were draining server resources.

- Second, we’re improving the infrastructure so things run smoother and faster.

- Third, this is a human-focused upgrade—we want features that support real users.

- And finally, it’s about financial sustainability—to ensure Podtube can keep running and evolving long into the future.

What’s in it for you?

Benefits vary based on your membership tier, but here are just a few highlights:

- Feed filters to include or exclude Lives, Shorts, and regular videos.

- No self-advertising insertions for paid tiers.

- Extended feed scans—up to 100 videos on first setup.

- Higher update frequency for your feeds.

The new interface is also designed to be friendly for vision-impaired users, making Podtube more inclusive for all.

To see what’s available at your tier, check the link in the description.

Now, here’s the roadmap for transitioning from the old system to the new system:

- User registration is already open.

- Creation of feed links in the old system has been disabled.

- By mid-August 2025, updates to old feed links will stop.

- And by the end of August 2025, audio download through old links will be disabled, completing the full migration to the new Podtube system.

To register, you first need to become a member of our Patreon group—any tier counts, even the Free tier. Details are in the episode description. We hope you’ll join us as Podtube enters this exciting new phase.

Thanks for listening!

Here it is, the undeniable song of the summer.

John Oliver discusses the “Make America Healthy Again” movement, what they have and haven’t accomplished so far, and whether or not water could’ve done anything to stop Hitler. Ya, you read that right. Water was a bystander. And it can read. You’ll see.

John Oliver discusses why Donald Trump seized control of the police in Washington, D.C., where the “Make America Healthy Again” movement in the U.S. could be headed, and whether or not you can buy testicles on Amazon. Three issues of equal importance.

At last, a clip that answers both ‘how does expedited removal work?’ AND ‘what would it sound like to drown John C. Reilly?’

You can say you’re going to deport one million criminal migrants, just like you can say you’re going to apprehend 10,000 Fred Dursts per day. There just aren’t that many.

Meet the Baileys. A couple who has “guided” Chuck Schumer’s political life and who were also – and this is true – made up. By Chuck Schumer, of course. More on this bizarre centrist fanfiction streaming now on HBO Max.

We hate to sound like an insufferable man on a Bumble date, but: Have you ever seen Star Wars? Because Darth Vader was, famously, the bad guy.

John Oliver discusses the Trump administration’s promise to deport one million immigrants, what the follow through on that promise looks like in practice, what the actual rules are about masked police arresting civilians across the country, and some stuff about filmmaker Dean Cain. It’s ok, you can Google him, we don’t expect you to recognize the name.

John also explores why Chuck Schumer made up a couple named “The Baileys” who he’s been talking about for decades. Seriously, Chuck has used a Tolkien level of backstory here. You’ll see.
