Alex and Kelsey are back for a new installment of The Pool House, a miniseries within The Short News Podcast that doesn’t cover the news. In this one they cover a lot of life updates, Alex gives a little update on his dating life, and Jimmy Buffet catches some smoke (sorry Jimmy Buffet).

Trouble in Margaritaville (The Pool House Episode 1)

Not the news. The Short News.

Host Alex Madore returns with a sharper, quieter voice — blending raw honesty, political satire, strange headlines, and personal storytelling into a 20-minute format designed for people who’ve seen too much and still give a damn.

From systemic injustice to personal recovery, from metaphysical weirdness to pop culture absurdity, The Short News covers it all — with a softer tone, a firmer stance, and zero allegiance to either side of the aisle.

Also home to TSN: After Hours — a late-night extension where things get personal, vulnerable, and unfiltered.

No spin.
