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 feelslike another nail in society’s coffin? And then...most likely adds to it! 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.John interviews a carefully curated mix of musicians, comedians, scientists, and the underdogs responsible for some of the biggest pop-culture sensations who often have the best stories, but not always the spotlight. Everyone from the late Ed Asner and The Police’s Stewart Copeland to legendary entertainers like Tommy Chong, Will Wheaton, Lewis Black have stopped by Dystopia Tonight. John expertly facilitates conversations across generations and genres because he believes that authentic connection – not clickbait and controversy – is the real path out of this dystopian nightmare.
