Reply #8: Late Nite Live

[Armstead]

From Australian Broadcasting Corp. It's a daily show that covers the world -- and the US -- with a depth that is rare.

It takes some getting used to because the host is very low key, and has an Australian sense of dry cynicism. But it is perhaps the most intelligent talk show anywhere regarding world events. And very progressive -- although not in the screaming sense.

He regularly has onh guests like Robert Fiske and writers for The Nation. He also covers subjects that you probably have never heard of, but are vital....For instance he interviewed a journalist from India about the contrast of many poor Indians committing suicide because they can't afford a dowry for their children, while otehr Indians are holding extravagent weddings.

Its available as a daily podcast, individual download or streaming.
