Politics Political show or podcast you can’t do without

For me it’s Morning Joe. I just like the panel of people they have on there.

My mom thinks Rachel Maddow is Jesus. I find her annoying and she never cuts to the chase. She always seems winded from her long winded rant.

Young Turks is another podcast I like a lot. Along with the Ezra Klein podcast.

I will admit I listen to the 1st hour of Lars Larson everyday just because I want to hear his douchebag rants about how Donald Trump is amazing and the NW is awful.

 

all of them

 

Love Rachel Maddow. I like her indirect approach and then how it all ties together.

 

I can honestly do without any of them. I don't have a real habit of listening to political podcasts but I will on occasion. I probably prefer John Oliver, The Daly Show or Colbert for their humorous takes on politics but I listen to WTF by Marc Maron regularly and also Conan O'brian needs a friend. I can't listen to Joe Rogan for long without tuning out. Not a fan. I find him really disingenuous and fickle most of the time. Same with Bill Maher...he's become a whining old get off my lawn washed up bachelor who thinks young people have no convictions or critical thinking skills....he's wrong. I like listening to 2 flies on a wall with Spade and Carvey. I also listen to the History Channel podcast a lot. When I need a chuckle I listen to the Liberal Redneck podcast...he's hillarious

 

I don’t listen to any specific political podcast. Sometimes the podcasts I listen to delve into politics, but it’s usually the comedy podcasts and their takes are terrible

 

Dave Smith, Glenn Greenwald mostly. I’ll turn on TYT to get the leftist side of things and watch Cenk yell and bang his fists on the table and Ana is hot. I watch Breaking Points often as well.

FOX, MSNBC and CNN are purely entertainment networks to placate adult children. They are like charging stations for boomers to juice up before they go on Facebook and scream into the void.

 

I watch Club Random and Real Time. I parallel Bills thinking many ways. As and Independent that leans left especially with social issues & pro choice, I am a fiscal conservative and do all our personal finances. Zero debt. Also, even at a 9 days away from 74, I am a second amendment supporter and have always owned firearms for hunting and protection.

 

All mine are financial podcasts.

 

Can you recommend a good one? Thats free

 

I used to enjoy Bill's commentary but since Club Random he's really been repetitive and has 3 rants that he engages all his guests with unless they are rock stars, then he wants to know about their sex lives...yawn. Bill is living in a bubble of privilege and it's not aging well in my view. He's pretty much trying to follow Rogan's gazillion follower formula which entails playing both sides against the middle. I agree with Bill on many points but the one's I disagree with he seems to have amplified

 

I dont agree with everything he says and he does get a bit raunchy at times. I only watch when I see someone thats interesting. With Real Time Like that he has a variety of different guest. He not opposed to hearing and/or discussing various views on things.

 

you should try Grizzly Man on audio ...he and his girlfriend both get their brains eaten.....sorry, spoiler alert

 

Fair warning - I listen to a LOT, trying to get the most intellectually thoughtful commentary.

Almost all the ones I listen to are more macro focused. You can find them on Youtube or almost any podcast feed.
