Richard
Anchor
Keeps a straight face for as long as the news allows, which is usually about four seconds.
Satirical world news · Animated
Real news. No mercy.
Politics, economics, technology and geopolitics from around the world, explained by two animated hosts who refuse to take any of it at face value.
ON AIR
Meet the desk
Two anchors, one planet, and an endless supply of headlines that make no sense.
Alex
Anchor
Asks the question everyone at the press conference was too polite to ask.
How an episode runs
Every episode takes five stories from around the world and puts them through the same treatment.
The headline
Richard and Alex open the story with the facts: what happened, where, and who said what.
The roast
Animated satire plays the story out the way it really looks once the press release is gone.
The verdict
The hosts close each story with the comment nobody on the evening news is allowed to make.

Our rule is simple
Satire only works when the facts underneath it hold up.
- The newsIs real. Every story starts from real, reported events.
- The factsMatter. We keep reporting and satire clearly separate.
- The jokesAre ours. Hosts, guests and reenactments are animated, AI-assisted creative work, not real footage.
