Podcast Description
The Electric Politics Podcast operates from the modern hypothesis that political ideas carry charges which interact in predictable patterns. 'Electric' differentials better explain political outcomes and the structure of the political landscape. What people think matters much more than is generally understood. This is George Kenney's idiosyncratic interview program, which goes beyond the mainstream to give intelligent people something fresh to think about. It's a personalized, miniature, alternative NPR.

Customer Reviews
electric politics is stimulating.
George Kenny is a former State Department employee with many contacts around the world. His interviews are with interesting, stimulating and above all, highly rational and reasoning people. They are people that you may or may not have heard of before, but they are extremely knowledgeable in the subjects that George discusses with them. In several cases, they are talking about positions which they were not inclined to hold before considering and studying the facts available to them. This emphasis on rational analysis rather than ideological bias is refreshing. Podcasting is the perfect medium for 'electric politics' and George Kenney's podcast makes me glad to have the technology to be able to enjoy it.
Great interviews and info
This podcast is scientifically-minded and smart. He’s a thoughtful person and does a straight-forward podcast usually consisting of interviews that are newsworthy. It is always interesting and relevant. Good work and high recommended.
Judging from the John Dear (Jesuit Peace Activist) podcast, George Kenney's podcast is a treasure
George Kenney, whom I look forward to getting to know better, had an a-list interview with John Dear on 8/29/08. The strength of ideas and questions back and forth - on world peace of all things - pretty stunnin. I am starting here and look forward to listening more. George Keep up the good work.
