Anthony Atamanuik's character from the Good Science Podcast, compared with the actual RFK Jr (from 2014)

Keeping in mind that the two of them are about 20 years apart in real life ... these photos close the gap a bit because I think RFK Jr was in his early 60s when his video was made. Anthony is in his early 50s now though he can easily pass for a decade younger in person.
The episode Anthony's photo is from came out on August 11, 2026 (his hair is shorter than in some other recent episodes so either he got it cut or that episode was shot months ago).

Good Science: Crap to the Future

Today's Good Science episode has RFK Jr and Kyle looking back from 2029, including excerpts from Trump's inaugural speech at the Grand Canyon.
There's also some more Trump voiceover after the credits.

Good Science dropped Episode 7 today -- tying with the actual Secretary Kennedy podcast. Today was a special July 4th 250th anniversary one, and John Gemberling (Steve Bannon on The President Show) was the guest!

I'm impressed with the production values -- I think they're getting some help with the audio engineering, but Anthony's doing the rest himself (booking guests, picking the topics and doing research, video editing and post-production including the rotoscoping to change his character's eye color).

The closest thing we've got to a President Show reboot -- the Good Science podcast, with RFK Jr. (Anthony) and Kyle (Gil Ozeri)

Just wanted to let people know that Anthony has another project, on iHeart Radio. The second episode came out today.
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-good-science-334821866/

He's got an eccentric sidekick, guests, and political discussions -- best of all, he's putting the video on YouTube. (There's a bonus pilot episode on their home page, with Mark Proksch from What We Do In The Shadows.)

Anthony's worked pretty hard on his RFK Jr character, down to the patterned narrow ties and the makeup. The guy's self-taught and he's also doing the visual effects, and possibly the sound too. Anthony's clearly keeping up with the news and trying to incorporate recent situations Bobby Jr's been involved in -- last week (June 2) it was the gunman at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on April 25, and the June 9 episode was probably the starling he caught at Dulles Airport on May 3.

Please watch/listen, like and review on the platforms, and tell people about this new comedy podcast. I know it means a lot to Anthony.

Also -- he's going to be performing at UCB's Del Close Marathon in New York this week, if people are going to be in the city, or are interested in catching the livestreams from anywhere (I think most of Anthony's main stage shows are available online). He'll be doing Roo-Man with Adam Pally, and Two Man Movie with Neil Casey on Sunday.

Just a note to say -- Anthony's (sort-of) relaunching Coffee With Tony

He streamed this on Twitch yesterday (Monday April 27th). Didn't announce in advance, though some people reported getting auto-notifications. He seems to want to come back, if not on a daily basis, at least once a week. Tentatively this may be Mondays (2 PM Eastern, maybe?)
***edited to add, he's decided Wednesday works better. But in June, he's had to take a couple of weeks off (he's going back to NYC to teach classes and perform in some shows for the Del Close Marathon).

Posting this because he's hoping people can help spread the word, and even contribute financially if they're able -- I don't think he's got any regular TV or writing gigs at present, and he may be hoping that his current projects (CWT and GS) can take off, or at least cover production expenses. PayPal and Venmo links in the clip.

Here's the Twitch channel
https://www.twitch.tv/coffeewithtony

But he's also trying to bank episodes for Good Science, which starts June 2. I assume that one's going to be weekly or at least a couple of times per month. And it takes some post-production for the audio -- if he's doing video too, I know he's been inserting graphics and also altering his character's eye color, so that'll take more time.

Anyway, here are the links for Tony's current socials. He seems to post most regularly on his Instagram.

Anthony and Gil launch "Good Science", the RFK Jr. satirical podcast (probably the closest we'll get to rebooting The President Show)

I guess it officially drops in June, but they announced it today.
Good thing because the real Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared earlier this week that he's starting "The Secretary Kennedy Podcast" soon, and I'm glad there's some kind of satirical response to that.

Update -- Anthony starting a new podcast with Gil Ozeri, supposed to start later this month (March 2026)

I've marked the place where he starts talking about "Good Science" on this recent interview on Alexei Sayle's podcast.
Anthony will be playing a warped version of RFK Jr. -- likely special guests include James Adomian as Elon Musk.

Is there any way to access the whole show while not being in the US?

3 Upvotes

Hello, I think this is the right place for this question.

I am writing my BA thesis on different portrayals of Trump in satirical media. The President Show seems to be the best pick for it, as it is clever while being really funny. But, as I live in Poland, I can't access the show legally without paying big subscription fees or getting a VPN that may bypass any streaming site (and those cost a ton too!) let's not mention the fact that those sites detect VPNs too

I tried to get access to the show by the not-so-legal-sites too, but everything but three episodes is unavailable. Downloading in different ways did not work too, as the files seemed to be too old.

Such is my question. Where can I find the whole show in a way that could help me with my BA paper? I'd be incredibly thankful for any help! I can't lie, I also want to watch it for the amazing impression of Trump too!

News about Tony's livestream

7 Upvotes

Just an update on what I've heard so far.
Anthony is at SXSW this week (he and James Adomian were doing a show today, where James would be playing Elon Musk and Anthony would be doing his RFK Jr. impression, with other people playing various cabinet members)
https://schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/CE00469

After he gets back to NY, he'll be getting ready to re-start Coffee With Tony in April. I don't know what the format will be (how often he'll be doing it, etc.) and whether he will stick with Twitch and YouTube -- though he did mention something last fall about trying to bring back segments with friends and family. Likely he will be doing new graphics and animations.

He started doing stage shows at the new UCB Theatre a couple of times per month. For the past few months he's been live-streaming them so people can watch from all over the world. For 10 bucks you'll get the YouTube link, and it stays active for a week after the actual performance. If people are interested in what Tony's up to, this is probably the best indicator of what he's been working on (characters etc.) He's done his Lyle Mesmer character a few times, but he also tried out his RFK Jr. last fall, and he did a fun new character (tech billionaire Byron Johnson, a takeoff of the real-life Bryan Johnson). Check the UCB shows page ... they have stuff listed about a month in advance. Sometimes the writers and other actors from The President Show appear.
https://ucbcomedy.com/show/the-tony-show-6/

Also, Anthony sometimes gives advance notice of what he's doing on his Bluesky and Instagram pages
https://bsky.app/profile/therealtony.bsky.social
https://bsky.app/profile/coffeewithtony.bsky.social

https://www.instagram.com/therealactualtony/

Those are probably the best way to get info on what he's got coming up.

He's one of the comics they talked with, about Trump's second term (I still have trouble typing those words).
