What podcasts are you listening to?
Ludo asked today. He suggested the Gillmor Gang, but I haven't tried it.
The last podcast I listened to carefully was an old speech from Martin Luther King (last Monday) that he gave one year to the day before he was shot. The Reverend first explained why he thought the US should end the war in Vietnam, and then described his vision of a revolution of values. The second part is probably why they shot him.
I've also found a series from the Center for Economic and Policy Research covering mainly basic economics and statistics. (Bias: left of US center)
An interesting podcast was an interview with Nicky Hagar, a New Zealand activist, about PR. Cannot recall where I got it. The file I have is NickyHager-PR.mp3. Also listened to Robert Fisk pitch his new book.
I tried balancing that out with some libertarianism. I listened to one show from Against The Grain, an interview with a guy's name I cannot recall talking about FEMA and Katrina and various other aspects of US society that run better under free markets than central planning. I tried listening to the Canadian libertarian candidate interview downloaded from Radio4All.net, but it wasn't vary satisfying. Dad suggested somebody better but the name must be stowed away somewhere in my work mail.
I don't feel like listening to anything that reminds me of work. Both Libertarianism and Gillmor Gang would do that. Maybe I'll try Escape Pod, which Andy suggested. I've downloaded one, but haven't listened yet.

I'll put in a vote for Escape Pod too. I can guarantee only this: if it reminds you of work, you work at a very scary place.
