The Best Of 2018: Podcasts

Everyone in my family makes fun of my podcast listening. I'm perpetually streaming podcasts as I go about my day, driving in my car, walking the dog, doing housework, etc. I prefer it to watching television. My tastes are varied--heavily political naturally, but there's a little bit of arts and sciences in there as well, as well as interviews with interesting people.

So, in no particular order, here's my list for the Best of 2018.

Bag Man -- Rachel Maddow's limited series on Spiro Agnew is so laden with information that I promise you, even if you lived through the Nixon presidency and spent your days glued to Watergate coverage, you're still going to learn things you never knew. And the parallels to today's events are inevitable. Do yourself a favor and take the time to listen to all seven episodes. Everything old really is new again.

The Professional Left Podcast - Hosted for nearly 500 episodes by our very own Driftglass and Blue Gal, Pro Left offers up an audio version of what we do in writing here at C&L every week: covering the news of the day and focusing on how the media framing does us a disservice. Add in some Bible Bitch and the occasional science fiction mini-dissertation, and you've got a great hour of listening with some of my favorite people in the blogosphere.
