Biased but Worth Subscribing
As I wish that Fox News would be honest about it's obvious bias, so I would with this podcast. I listen to this podcast for some thought from the Left. I would recommend it as long as you recognize its political orientation.
Political comfort food.
Depressingly biased. Subscribe only if you need constant reassurance and validation for your liberal beleifs.
Great
This is great horse-race style coverage. Just fun to listen too.
