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.

Now with 200+ episodes available to Dystopia Tonight's worldwide audience, we now feature live performances, fundraising events and more. John has developed a reputation to generate funny and deeply engaging interviews with brilliant minds on various topics ranging from the physics of climate change with Lawrence Krauss, to the consistency of edibles with Tommy Chong.
