I listen to a number of news-related podcasts. One of the most interesting is
Newsweek on Air, a radio show produced by
Newsweek magazine. It's a bit more detailed than the
CBS Weekend Roundup, and covers more world news. Even so, both are very US-focused, which is sad.
The BBC World Service doesn't have that parochial bias that the American news has.
BBC Newshour is one of the best news programmes on the planet. You can listen to the streaming version for free, or you can get the podcast version from
www.audible.com, and I think it is well worth the US$9.06 per month or US$48.97 per year. Since I'm an
Audible member, it cost me only 4 credits for a year's subscription. Well worth it: you get 5 issues per week, 1 hour long. I download mine when I wake up in the morning, and can listen on my way to work. There is also the
BBC Radio Newspod among a whole host of
BBC podcasts.
There are a number of other podcasts available from
PRI in the US, as well as from the Apple iTunes store. If you have a more scientific bent, then the
Discovery Channel Podcasts are an absolute must.
