Lewis Black has some things to get off his chest! With his weekly podcast "Lewis Black’s Rantcast," the Grammy-winning comedian does just that. Channeling his anger in ways only a man who’s devoted his entire life to ranting can do. The tirades are sometimes big, other times small, yet they are always fun-spirited and truly hilarious. No topic is safe from Black’s trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing. Skewering anything and anyone that gets under his skin. On the " ...

It’s time for part 2. Lewis finds himself still in the train of thought as last week, just truly baffled by recent events. And since things are a nonstop firehose of bullshit, there’s even more to break down. The Washington Post takes heat for boneheaded decisions and what exactly went down in the Oval Office when Zelenskyy visited? _______________…

This week Lewis has so much to cover that it’s a 2-parter! Our current state of affairs has us all having the collective experience of living what one person’s idea of reality is. Whether it be terrible cabinet picks or the mess that mass layoffs are causing, there just doesn't seem to be enough oxygen (or air) in the room, because we only get to b…

Things are getting crazy out there and not just our current political climate. Lewis was reminded of that this week when the fairly simple task of getting a new computer was met with the corporate machinations of not 1 but 2 different organizations pissing him off. The frustration grew when Uber Eats got involved, yes you read that correctly Uber E…

Lewis has always liked the title of the play Idiot’s Delight and it certainly seems to be describing the times that we are currently in. As the world spent a collective moment watching The Super Bowl this weekend, Lewis has a message for the NFL and its almighty self-importance. Big game aside, each passing day seems to sound a red alert in our nat…

Chaos, it seems to be all around us these days and its pretty much the last thing Lewis wants to talk about though he feel compelled to. Chaos is the feature of this administration and our Leader it at its center. From unfathomable Executive Orders to cabinet members without any sort of qualifications for the job they’re being nominated for. And ju…

It’s the time of year where Lewis realizes just how smart bears are for just shutting it down for the winter. Commanders because his favorite football team made a fantastic run this season and almost made it to the big game. Now if they can just do something about their name. Oh, and the team's former owner sucks. ___________________ For advertisin…

Many might find it funny, but the joke is on us as a new president begins his term. The punchlines seem to write themselves even before Lewis can make the joke. Bad executive orders are a joke, the cabinet is a joke, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, buying Greenland? The punchlines write themselves! Essentially we’ve lost the laughter and have stopped …

As Lewis records his first Rantcast episode of 2025 on January 6th, he’s reminded of where we were 4 years ago on this day. Over the years the US has seen its fair share of political unrest, so comparisons become quite inevitable. Right now it seems like people are at odds because the reality of what even occurred that day continues to to be in que…

It's the last Rantcast of 2024. Well, technically the first of 2025 and a recap of the year that just wrapped is in order. The difference here is that it's been done before, so the essence of the message is to wish you well for the new year. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR DATES:…

It's December 25th and it's not only Christmas Day but the first day of Hanukkah. Something that doesn't happen often. In fact, it's so rare that all the drones tormenting New Jersey stopped flying apparently. Must be clearing the path for Santa. ___________________ For advertising opportunities email: [email protected] ___________________ TOUR D…

Lewis reflects on the closing of the West Bank Cafe in New York. After 40+ years his friend and owner Steve Olsen is closing the location.

Lewis is back in the states after his trip to escape Thanksgiving and not only has the holiday of focus changed, so has the weather. We’re officially in the stretch of the winter and it seems he’s yet to outrun the madness of everything, holidays, politics, AI chatbots, and even some school prayer. Rantcast #201 might be short, but packed full of r…

It’s Lewis’ 200th episode of The Rantcast! It also happens to be Thanksgiving. The time of year where Lewis heads out of the country with friends. Something he’s done for many years.

This past weekend Lewis performed some stand-up shows live in the Pacific Northwest. On a recent stop in Seattle, WA he decided to read some fan-submitted rants.

The anxiety about the election is at an all-time high. But that’s not the most important thing on Lewis’ mind. He’s deep in the week’s NFL games and how his Commanders are performing with a spectacular comeback that broke him out of his sleep-deprived weekend of shows down south. Back on the election front, Lewis has hot takes about the state of th…

Lewis just spent the weekend in Skokie, IL and while there he discovered Will's Place a great restaurant with an even better mission, so let him tell you all about it. Lewis also realized an important anniversary was upon him and probably why he felt off on stage one night. But it's not long before the looming election pokes its head up again and, …

Lewis is back in his public access podcasting studio this week. He returned from the road just in time to catch the Vice Presidential debates, possibly so you didn't have to, because it featured a lot of nonsense, and in at least one candidate's case, the normalization of said nonsense. While the debates were one thing, Lewis also has some thoughts…

Lewis recaps his trip out West to attend The Emmy Awards for the first time in 20 years. Not only did he get to experience a win with his Daily Show crew but met up with a couple former collaborators. What did he learn from the experience? Mostly that LA is still a surreal place to visit. But the weirdness isn’t only confined to the West Coast as L…

Lewis watched the presidential debates and, whooo boy! Does he have some thoughts about it. Not only did he get particularly enraged about the two minute format, but just what was said on stage flat out seemed to be detached from reality. But the action didn’t stop there as there was plenty of post-game analysis by pundits that was just as zany. Af…

Lewis has returned from some time off celebrating both Labor Day and his birthday and he's doing his best to not lose his cool. A concept that's really difficult considering what's happening in the world around him. But there's hope, for Rantcast regular Mildred Ellison found a story that just tickled Lewis' fancy. This episode was recorded before …

It's Labor Day and Lewis also just celebrated a birthday. With those two things in mind we're presenting you a Best Of for this week's episode of The Rantcast.

Lewis is back from Vegas and after the travel nightmare story from last week, there’s still a lot from the travel that pissed him off. In fact, he didn’t even get the chance to share what his Vegas experience was like (hint, a lot has changed) and how he’s now even more committed to his idea of a new hotel there on the strip. At the same time, the …

Lewis was just in Las Vegas performing and while the shows went great, the flight home was anything but. It was as he described it as one of the worst travel experiences of his life. Which is saying a lot for someone whose made a living on the road traveling for decades. This trek included heavy storms, grounded planes, storms, boarding planes, de-…

Lewis is back on the road to complete the final leg on his final tour (dates at www.lewisblack.com) and he has a couple warm-up dates lined up before the fall starts. Mostly to re-learn his act since he’s been trying his hardest to maximize downtime this summer. With dates in Cleveland last weekend and a couple shows in Las Vegas this weekend the r…

Why that title? Because it’s a great metaphor for Lewis’ golf game. On in which he recently spent time in Maine working on. While there, Lewis took the time to keep ownership of his summer. For anyone who has followed the Rantcast for a while knows that summer is our time and should be politics free. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be possible t…

One would think after last week’s whirlwind of news that this week would be somewhat quieter, but you would be wrong. With an election season heating up it seems the news is coming from everywhere. One of the biggest stories of the week being the constant flow of idiotic things said by GOP Vice Presidential hopeful, JD Vance. Whom seemed to put his…

Well, somehow the news was even crazier than it was last week, if that's even possible. The weekend began with computers across the world crashing and sending things into turmoil and then it with Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 Presidential race. Something that has not happened decades. This all causing us to ask, will the fun ever stop? It's a …

Things are insane! It seems we decided to take a speed run through current events this past weekend. One story alone was enough to make your head spin. But over the course of 72 hours, America was hit with not only an attempted assassination of a former-President-turned-current- candidate. Then, a day later a Florida judge made a controversial deci…

This past week was Independence day and it seems the world has gone mad. Most of the country is in the midst of a heatwave. The press is having a field day with our candidates in a Presidential election that costs too much money. But it’s also going on for too long and leaking into a previously-declared politics-free summer. The GOP candidate is do…

What a wild week, so much has happened in the world. One thing is enough to make your ears bleed, but we in the US are dealing with more than one thing. To sum it all up, we have people who can't say the truth while others need to come to grips with it. The debates, SCOTUS decisions, re-elections, church and state, it all seemed to come to a head t…

The 10 commandments have been in the news a lot lately and Lewis is here to tell us there is an 11th one. And it might be the most important of them all.

It's Summer and with that comes a very simple message from Lewis, which is to just keep your mouth shut! Lewis has always lobbied for the politics-free summer and he's taking a stance. June, July, and August are times for us to relax, eat some fatty foods, and sip on a few cocktails. Once the air gets a bit colder does it become the time for us to …

Lewis has returned from performing shows in Europe. One of the first things he learned of upon landing was the 34 guilty indictments handed down to Donald Trump by a jury of New Yorkers. The combination of these two events has given him a new perspective, which he's more than willing to share on this week's Rantcast. ___________________ For adverti…

Happy Memorial Day to you all. Hopefully the long weekend treated you well as we all kept those in our armed forces top of mind. Lewis is wrapping up an European run of shows and will be on a plane headed back to the states by the time you read this.

Lewis is headed overseas, but he left the fans with a stellar episode of The Rantcast. Like many of you, he's having a hard time understanding why a South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem bragged about her animal abuse, why NYC mayor Eric Adams is an idiot, the college campus protests, and ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. It's enraging for all…

Lewis it out on the road and enjoying his time performing in front of the fans.

It was…

It was a week of happenings, not just for Lewis but for the nation as we experienced not only the Solar Eclipse, but a large earthquake for a swath of people in the East. Lewis found himself in Arizona for a charity golf outing, still managing to see the eclipse. Was it the advertised 75% darkness it was advertised as? Maybe not. Unfortunately, the…

The madness of the year has already gotten to us, and if it’s going to continue through the already-declared politics-free summer, perhaps its time to get out of dodge and head on up to the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, NY? What nonsense is happening this week? First off, can anyone fluent in finance explain how Truth Social makes money? Whi…

Being born and raised in the greater Baltimore area, the news on the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse elicits Lewis laments on how it should be repaired. It also appears the level of satire have reached an all-time high between Donald Trump deciding to become a bible salesman and Alabama doing away with diversity programs in its universities. But …

How's your bracket doing? The NCAA College Basketball tournament is Lewis' favorite sporting event of the year. It also serves as a good distraction from the lunacy of the day. A Spring that doesn't seem to have sprung yet. An election cycle that goes on and on. A former President's many, many days in court. Boeing's continued lack of quality contr…

Does anybody really care? Well, we turned the clocks forward an hour and with it comes the annual debate about whether Daylight Savings time is a good idea or not. With both sides of the argument pulling their annual selective amnesia about the event. March also marks the start of The NCAA College Basketball Tournament which brings both great joy a…
