Best current events podcast in production.

This show is easily the most valuable podcast I have ever listened to. Fivethirtyeight offers up sophisticated data analysis, paired with politically savy commentation. It is neither condescending nor pretentious. Objective reality itself bends to a liberal point of view but Fivethirtyeight leaves any subjective partisan beliefs outside of it's recording studio.

Dispassionate Analysis

538 consistently reviews the data with an eye to predicting what will be the correct outcome, instead of what will please the audience. Look at the models compared to the outcome: it's superb.
As for the podcast itself, Galen is a capable host while Nate and Clare play off each other to give a robust picture of the current political situation.

Downgrading corruption.

Not worth my time. They really don't have anything to say but negate the facts and downgrade corruption. Such opinions are useless
