Posting Through It is a weekly news podcast covering politics, media, and technology. Co-hosts Jared Holt and Michael Edison Hayden leverage their shared background as investigative reporters covering the Radical Right to offer listeners unique analysis and fresh perspectives on current events. Episodes frequently feature in-depth conversations with special guests.
Originally launched in 2018 under the title SH!TPOST, the show rebranded to its current name in August 2022. Following Holt's announcement in April 2023 that the podcast would take an extended hiatus to pursue other interests, Posting Through It returned in January 2025 with Hayden joining as co-host.
Posting Through It is available on all major podcast distributors.
