Probably been asked before, but I'm looking for some Leftist podcasts / vodcasts that aren't rife with faggotry, feminism, and rampant self-satisfaction. Think Rachel Maddow.. I guess.

Also, not sure if this is the place to ask, but what can I use to sync podcasts between my iPhone, my desktop and laptop (both 7). I don't have a particularly fast download speed. Please don't suggest the official Podcasts app.

Is there a freeware way of recording from soundcard and having it save directly as mp3?

Seems like a pure and simple idea, but I need a guide or tips thanks.

Does anyone know of podcasts that focus on European Union politics & analysis? I know several podcasts that debate whatever is going on in the US but am somewhat at a loss when it comes to finding EU related audio - The only thing I found was the European Journal podcast (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/european-journal-magazine/id288958128) that focusses on internal integration and a small bit of foreign affairs. While certainly interesting I would like to find more programs...

any tips?

Are there any good investigative or longform journalism podcasts? Like Frontline, or the good episodes of This American Life without time filler about what wacky thing a producer's nephew just did?

This is pretty rare to find in any format because its just really loving expensive to do. But there are some really good news and current affairs podcasts that you might like. Off the top of my head: propublica, reveal, documentary, analysis, on the media, the agenda, the economist editor's picks, If you have an audible account you can get a one year new yorker subscription for 4 credits, works out to like a dollar per issue, and usually includes one or two feature length stories.

I want a politics/news podcast. Not dry and informative, but not necessarily "funny" either. Left-leaning would be nice. Something with punditry, but well-informed, reasonable punditry.

Basically this election season is crazy, the Bugle has stopped updating, and The Rachel Maddow Show has helped me commiserate with the craziness a bit, but I want more.

Does anyone know of something like a podcast version of The Daily Show/The Nightly Show/Last Week Tonight? I would prefer either short daily episodes (~15 minutes) or weekly, since I only have 30-45 minutes a day to listen.

Skepticrat focuses more on politics and is more humorous, on the media is more serious and focuses in the intersection of politics nedia and culture. Both are 1 hour weekly.

Pod Save America is a great podcast from some of the guys that did Keeping it 1600. It's awesome. It's all about modern day politics. Two of the guys used to work for the Obama administration.

Pod Save the World is the sister podcast, and it's all about interviewing people in government about their careers and experiences. Mostly former Obama administration people.

Both are excellent, and heavily left leaning, as you'd imagine.

Did anyone else find the recent Manning/Snowden discussion bizarre? Not surprised that they have a problem with Obama whistleblowers but they seemed to be going out of their way to misrepresent the facts and the positions of their critics.

Are there any good music podcasts aside from Song Exploder? I guess this overlaps with internet radio stations a lot but I'm looking for good discussions on news, current and past artists, etc for a wide variety of genres but the few I've found only seem to look at Top 40 charts stuff. I'd especially love discussions on music theory and applying it with examples.

Dissected is a season/album length version of song exploder that gets heavily into music theory and history. Season 2 on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is some of the best podcasting I've listened to, period.

I was wondering why I kept subscribing to The Scumbag when there was no indication that they'd ever make another episode, but it's back with just Ed Zitron (also, how is that the name of an actual human being?). I guess the first episode back got the guest to realize that Twitter is horrible, causing him to quit.

For those who don't remember The Scumbag or don't know, it's a podcast about the bad aspects of the internet.

Cool, reasubscribed.

Are there any literary theory podcasts? Almost every book podcast I see is either "talking about nerd poo poo" or interviews of writers.

I'm looking for something that focuses on critical theory applied to literature (or even pop lit) rather than enthusing about X new release.

On a related note, I'm about to begin a career in the publishing industry. Are there any podcasts about publishing from inside the profession? I figure it's a long-shot but worth asking.

Partially Examined Life's (sub)text or PhiFic might be close to what you're looking for.

Beyond the repeats thing, I vaguely remember that Reveal was just too soft on the Nazis and trying to paint them as deserving of understanding instead of abject violence. I think even Richard Spencer was interviewed and given a platform to speak about his views, instead of getting repeatedly punched in the face. It was the sort of uncritical position that undermined the rest of the stories, and I don't think it ever recovered from that with me.

Really? I remember Jim Briggs interviewing one of the haircut Nazis and just tearing him to pieces.

I listened to the first two free episodes and it just feels like an audio version of whatever the current Twitter discourse is that week, it wasn't funny and it wasn't giving me any new insight or perspective so I tapped out. I like both Virgil Texas and Briana Joy Gray but they explicitly made an unexceptional roundtable show in an attempt to make a product that appealed to "normies" for the sake of spreading their platform so there's not much there for anyone already a fan of them.

Ah that sucks. Just listened and I have to agree with you.

The intertwined sagas of Joy Division and New Order will be chronicled in the upcoming podcast, Transmissions: The Definitive Story, premiering October 29th.

The first run of eight episodes will follow Joy Division through their founding and rise to Ian Curtis’ death by suicide in 1980. It will then tackle the formation of New Order and the group’s early years, up through their 1983 hit, “Blue Monday.” (While a second season hasn’t been announced, it would conceivably focus on the rest of New Order’s Eighties heyday, their split in the Nineties, and subsequent reunions in the 2000s and 2010s.)
