Horny Report: ten years of 'trash' journalism you won't find in the mainstream media
January 2016. A certain Jim Jones —a fictitious name paying homage to the leader of the Guyana cult— uploads the first 'Horny Report' to iVoox, a podcast of humor and analysis with a mission to 'expose the scam we live in'. Ten years later, the project has over 220 episodes, its own annual awards and a legion of trinc who call it "the weekly drug".
A format that defies labels
Each episode, lasting between 35 minutes and two hours, breaks down a selection of news stories with impossible headlines: "Pedofi vacacional", "Bit BlackRock", "Gloria Smog" or "George Goyim". The mix of satire, unapologetic criticism and references to economic, political and social current affairs has built a loyal community. The production, its creators admit, is "precarious"; technical glitches (microphones moving closer and farther away) become part of the charm.
From the margins to the 'Horny Awards'
In 2017, the show institutionalized its annual awards, a gala where the year's events are reviewed —from the Rohingya refugee crisis to the pandemic— with the same irreverent tone. The 2020 pandemic, for example, led to episodes covering everything from "monetized pastures" to "banking sharia". The podcast doesn't shy away from thorny topics: the Japanese crisis, corporate corruption or geopolitical conflicts are tackled with data, but also with humor that borders on the absurd.
An underground phenomenon with pull
Although the project remains on the fringes —no advertising or big platforms— its longevity is a symptom of fed-upness with conventional journalism. "Today's journalism consists of making up news", they let slip in one episode. The community, which interacts via email, has even called for a "Horny encyclopedia" that has yet to see the light of day.
With 218 episodes documented to date, 'Horny Report' is an example of how counter-information can survive without sponsors or labels. The question is: how much longer can the team keep "paying little (nothing)" to its contributors? Meanwhile, trinc celebrate each new chapter as a weekly manna.
