The A list - the podcasts I pretty much listen to without fail:
- Oh God, what now? - a British view on politics from the left-of-centre, with a very ‘remain’ ancestry.
- Question Everything - the quite excellent look at the state and future of journalism in the US, hosted by Brian Reed (This American Life and S-Town).
The (almost) A List - where I listen to most episodes:
- The Daily from the New York Times - I probably don’t need to explain this one.
- Today in Focus - (this is meant as a compliment) The Guardian’s version of ‘The Daily’.
- Politics Weekly America from The Guardian, basically what it says on the tin.
- The Tip Off - an excellent UK pod where each episode deep dives into a news story from the journalists point of view. It seems to be on an extended break.
The B list - sometimes yes, sometimes no:
- I’m embarrassed to say, This American Life - the stalwart, the original. Some of my favourite audio has been produced by the TAL team. If in doubt, listen to Ep. 129 Cars.
- Serial. If you know, you know.
- Politics Weekly UK from The Guardian. The sister to the US version above.
Is there anything you’d recommend?
