The post says 'next Wednesday' the Tijuana River Podcast premieres. Posted on Saturday 2026-10-17, that resolves to Wednesday 2026-10-21, so the claim's date is the post's own. No source covers the premiere of this podcast: the 'Accountability' episode of 21 Oct and the River Radius Podcast are different shows, so the claim is neither confirmed nor refuted.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… We want to hear from you at johnny don't like dot com. And at the end of the month, we're gonna be in the Bay Area. We have such a busy couple of weeks coming up here. Ah, by the way, next Wednesday, the Tijuana River Podcast premieres. That's gonna be exciting, so get ready for that.

What we found

Context. The Apple Podcasts listing for 'Accountability' (published 2026-10-29) includes a 21 Oct episode on the Tijuana sewage crisis, but that is a different podcast and does not show a 'Tijuana River Podcast' premiere.[3]

Context. The River Radius Podcast pages (Tijuana River episodes from 2025) concern a different show and do not mention a premiere of the Tijuana River Podcast on any date.[4][5][6]

Context. No source states that the Tijuana River Podcast premiered, was scheduled to premiere, or was postponed. The remaining sources are unrelated or off-topic, so there is no directional evidence either way.[1][2][7][8][9][10][11][12]
