Which podcasts do you follow and recommend?

Since I've been pissed off at the corporate BS from MSM and MSNBC I've tried different sources for more factual and current news that is not filtered through a $$$$ corporation.

I've always liked Keith Olbermann and David Pakman and Meidas.

About 6 months ago I discovered Adam Mockler, Harry Sisson, and Luke Beasley.

Are they considered "influences"? What's the difference?

8. I agree, I watched several on that list.

Romano Report seems to vacillate his opinions too much.

7. The ones you said except for

[Skittles]

9. absolutely none

10. Since I discovered them I have really enjoyed them.

I like the fact that they don't have a corporation supporting them. Keith Olbermann would NEVER be allowed on MSNBC now so I'm glad I can hear him without fear of being censored.

11. None. The difference between traditional media and pods is that the formers acknowledge mistakes

Each (I don’t know about Fox) has a place for readers to point mistakes which are acknowledged and corrected.

Do the Youtube and the others pods have these paths?

This is an important reason why we are polarized: we just follow sources of news that fit with our views.

And it is unfortunate that so many “influencers” are praised and admired, even spoke at the Convention (careful here, I had a post removed for questioning this fact).

We have to listen to opposing opinions so that we can debate and, hopefully, convince others.

12. My Picks

Mostly John Flannery (local lawyer, very grounded, often on Ari’s show) Lev Remembers (Lev Parnas - very plugged in and has a great sense of humor), Cheri Jacobus (former Republican, political consultant, very well spoken, common sense ideas), plus whatever else I run across that looks interesting. I can’t stand poscasts with sensationalized titles that don’t deliver and any video that shows the host with an astonished expression looking like an idiot (what’s that about anyway?).

13. I listen to

POD Save the World and Strict Scrutiny, plus Olbermann, when I’m out for runs or driving.
