Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo

Author: John Poveromo

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 feels like another nail in societys coffin? 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.

Day 311 - Zak Starkey
Episode 302
Monday, 9 February, 2026

Zak Starkey joins Dystopia Tonight for a wide-ranging conversation about music, legacy, and life behind the drum kit. As one of the most respected drummers of his generation, Zak has carved out his own unmistakable voice while playing with bands like The Who and Oasis, building a career that honors rock history without being trapped by it. In this episode, Zak talks about growing up surrounded by music, finding his own rhythm in the shadow of a legendary name, and what still excites him about playing live today. We dig into touring, creativity, and the strange balance between tradition and rebellion that defines great rock ’n’ roll. Zak will be performing live at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City on February 20, and this conversation is the perfect lead-in to seeing him in his natural habitat: onstage, loud, and unapologetically himself. 🎟️ Tickets and show info below livenation.com/event/k7vGFbMzJAYT8/an-evening-with-zak-starkey#:~:text=Get%20tickets%20for%20An%20Evening%20with%20Zak,FRI%20Feb%2020%2C%202026%20at%207:00%20PM. 🎧 New episodes of Dystopia Tonight every week www.dystopiatonight.com 📺 Subscribe for more conversations with musicians, comedians, and cultural misfits
