Decent weekly news podcast?
Any to recommend? I'm sort of a guy that follows news I'm really interested in quite closely (Apple of course
and games), but don't really pay much attention to the general news (on TV etc). I would like to keep up to date on more or less what's going on out in the world though.
There generally seems to be a lot of daily ones which are too much for me, and also: politics and war bore me to tears. Most of the general news podcasts seem to pretty much just cover politics. I had subscribed to Harpers Weekly via email before but I've deregistered now since it goes on for paragraphs and paragraphs about US politics and only a few short sentences about what happens out in the world.
Any recommendations? Thx

On the other hand, there are plenty of good business and finance oriented podcasts. WSJ does some decent ones that also touch on current events. Somehow I don't guess that's what your looking for. I'm not sure what you're looking for exists, at least in some part because news is always about politics and wars no matter where you go.
Yeah
If you can't devote 40 minutes, then you might as well just give it up. Seriously. Have you tried one of those new-fangled newspapers?
Or, alternately, you might grab the NPR "Most emailed stories" podcast or PRI's "Here and Now" (link)
