What are some good political podcasts?
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 01:37 PM by primate1
I've decided that subscribing to a fuckload of political podcasts would be better than watching the news on TV, so I've been searching for good podcasts. Bonus points if you know of any good Canadian ones or ones that deal with a lot of international stuff. Right now I've got Democracy Now, Rabble Radio (Canadian) and Redeye (also Canadian).

Alright, go!

2. Ian Masters, definitely.
He's got the most mellow, reasoned discussions and spends a lot of time with his guests (two one-hour shows per week, either 2 or 3 guests per show).

I also subscribe to Counterspin, On the Media, Glenn Greenwald (I love his writing, but his pod show is just so-so) and NOW (just a rebroadcast of their weekly TV program, really)

3. Ack, forgot one of my favorites
BBC's From Our Own Correspondent. That would also satisfy your international requirement, because their five segments each show are generally spread out evenly among the continents.

4. BBC has some excellent podcasts.
On their world digest, if I remember correctly.
