Podcasts you should be listening to if you aren't already- you can thank me later

I was recently turned on to these two podcasts and in the last two days they have had a lot of good (and scary) info about the white nationalist movement.

POD Save America-They do shows Mondays and Thursdays and sometimes other days for special occasions (a recent interview with Al Gore for instance) This is hosted by a bunch of Obama's ex-speechwriters and press guys and they are super smart and super funny. I should also warn you they curse a lot.

Yesterday's show had an interview with the Vice reporter who covered the Charlottesville event.

The Daily - from the New York Times
Today's show had more interesting info about the movement, including what was the deal with all the polo shirts

Are there any other podcasts that you recommend? I have a long commute to work and these really help make it bearable.

another crooked media production is usually pretty entertaining.

If you like details the lawfare podcast is sometimes really interesting.

Robert Reich has his own podcast as well

He's a lawyer. He has a radio show 5 days a week. He is liberal but doesn't like labels and explains a lot of the daily news from a lawyers perspective (he's a lawyer). He does a lot of teaching on his show and he is very bright and a bit silly.

The first hour of his show is free. You can pay for his podcast and listen to the whole show when you want with added extras if you buy the podcast. You can listen to the whole three hours of the podcast if you listen to it live. There are a few radio stations that play his show.

With Friends Like These. I love Pod Save America and Lovett or Leave it.

Rachel podcasts her show. It's up soon after she runs.

Most NPR shows are podcasts, too.
