"The Audit" is a satirical political comedy podcast hosted by comedian Dave Anthony and screenwriter Josh Olson, who dissect and mock right-wing educational media—like PragerU videos, conservative MasterClasses, and political biographies—produced by controversial political figures. Each episode functions as an irreverent "book report," breaking down the ideological messaging, propaganda tactics, and often absurd rhetoric embedded in these media products. With guest comedians, journalists, and investigative reporters joining regularly, the show combines sharp political critique with comedic banter, exposing the funding, motives, and cultural impact of right-wing media influence campaigns. Episodes often dive into hot-button issues like abortion, climate change, guns, and education policy, appealing to politically engaged, left-leaning listeners who enjoy biting satire, investigative journalism, and pop-culture-savvy takedowns of conservative propaganda. Produced under The Lever podcast network, it blends comedy with media literacy and political accountability.
