suggest a new podcast for me to listen to

[tabbycat31]

ok I'm a podcast addict, and I've finally got them under control, and now have time to add a new one to my list. My usual subjects are baseball and politics. Since this is not a baseball forum, I'll leave that one out :-) The podcast must be free and available in iTunes.

I love progressive talk radio, but none comes through in my area. I get my fix through podcasts.
Here are the progressive podcasts I already listen to (all of which I would recommend and are free in iTunes)
Best of the Left Podcast
Blast the Right
Civilianism
Democracy Now
Real Time with Bill Maher
Ring of Fire
Thom Hartmann
Wake Up America
The Young Turks

7. I second the motion on Break Room Live.

It's Sam Seder and Marc Maron uncensored.

I also like A Prairie Home Companion, The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, Science Magazine Podcast, and Ring of Fire.

All are free (I think) on iTunes.

4. This American Life

TAL rawks.

Also, check out The Moth Podcast - it's also awesomeness.

For politics, I tend to like Dan Carlin's Common Sense

[demmiblue]

5. I 'listen' to Keith and Rachel.

I do not get MSNBC, so this is a great resource. I know that they are video podcasts, but half the time I only listen to them via my itouch or my laptop.

Podcasts for running- if you want to start jogging/running, this is a great podcast for those who want to follow the C25K plan (couch to 5K).

Coffee Break Spanish- if you want to learn some basic Spanish (the Radio Lingua Network also has other languages available).

Most of the other podcasts that I subscribe to are educational (note to self: actually listen to them!). You can find numerous topics/courses through iTunes U.

6. Bob McChesney's "Media Matters" - IMHO, the best program on radio

Glenn Greenwald

Our guest this week is Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald is, with Amy Goodman, a recipient of one of the inaugural Izzy Awards from the Park Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College.


Greenwald is a former constitutional lawyer who started blogging in 2005, acting as his own editor/publisher in the I.F. Stone tradition. In 2007 he moved his popular blog to Salon.com, retaining full editorial freedom. Week after week, in meticulously documented and detailed blog posts, he skewers hypocrisy, deception and revisionism on the part of the powers that be in government and the media. His 2008 reporting on a false claim about 9/11 by then-U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey led to a retraction. With devastatingly crisp arguments, Greenwald has inveighed against torture and defended constitutional rights for all, whether they be “enemy combatants” or American protesters. He has toughly criticized both Republicans and Democrats, and his blogging frequently sparks debate in major media and on Capitol Hill.


The Izzy Award is named after the legendary dissident journalist Isidor Feinstein “Izzy” Stone, who launched his muckraking newsletter “I.F. Stone’s Weekly” in 1953 during the height of the McCarthy witch hunts. Stone, who died in 1989, exposed government deceit and corruption while championing civil liberties, racial justice and international diplomacy.
