Looking for downloadable progressive podcasts to put on my windows phone to listen

[GreenPartyVoter]

to while I walk. Streaming isn't working because cell coverage in my neighborhood keeps cutting out.

Any websites you can recommend?

[krispos42]

1. Best of the Left

No doubt. It's a really good podcast.

Ten episodes a month, each one on a specific topic. The clips in the podcast are from a variety of liberal shows.

And you can visit the archives, get as much add you need.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. I found that one on a couple of sites, but it autostreams. I will visit the archives and try that,

Thanks!

[krispos42]

4. I get mine through iTunes.

I think it's an mp3.

[demmiblue]

8. Are you using an app on your phone for downloading and listening to podcasts?

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. No. Websites only. Windows phones seem to have been abandoned in app world now that surface is out.

[krispos42]

3. The Majority Report with Sam Sedar is also one I listen to.

He live-streams about a hour a day and packages it as a free podcast. He also does a members-only "better half" after the free one.

I'm caught up to February 2013.

Trying...

6. Democracy Now! (I also second Best of the Left)

7. Bob Cesca has the bob and chez show

Funny one

[sarae]

it's good to listen to when you're pissed off about the election.

[peabody]

21. I second this.

11. Kagro

KagroX (David Waldman) from Daily Kos does a show every weekday. It's more laid back and not "professionally produced" as some other shows, but I enjoy it.

13. The Smartest Man in the World

Greg Proops. He does a weekly live set before a an audience. He drinks. He curses. He gets angry. The ways he meanders around history, baseball, and pop culture figures, you get a little lost, but in the end, he always bring you home to THE POINT.

14. Do you like The West Wing?

There's a podcast, The West Wing Weekly, that discusses each episode. It's really interesting--Josh Malina, who played Will Bailey, is one of the hosts.

Some others:
This American Life
WTF with Marc Maron
StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson
Nerdist podcast
Kevin Pollak's Chat Show
Democracy Now!
Le Show with Harry Shearer
The Bowery Boys
Daily Kos Radio
The Most Wonderful Wonder
Remarkable Lives, Tragic Deaths
Serial

I also recommend anything from GoodTrash Media. A friend of mine and several of her friends do multiple podcasts about movies, books, etc. They're young and smart, and I'm amazed at what they produce.

Happy listening!

15. Keepin it 1600. The Best.

[charlyvi]

17. +1000

Funny, current, and great guests. Twice a week, with Jon Favreau, John Lovett and Dan Pfieffer.....who all worked for Obama.

[charlyvi]

19. If you like David Axelrod, The Axe Files.

Or Bob and Chez.

[demotux]

16. I like all of the above and ...

EDIT: Concerning Windows Mobile, there's Microsoft's app 'Podcasts' for that. First, you need to download it from the appstore because it is not pre-installed.

18. A weekly favorite of mine, not mentioned by anyone else so far...

The Professional Left Podcast, with Driftglass and Blue Gal

http://professionalleft.blogspot.com/

[eleny]

22. Nate Siver's 538 web page has the "Election" podcast

Looks like it's online.
http://fivethirtyeight.com/tag/elections-podcast/

I just started listing to it and it's a good one.

[backscatter712]

23. Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy both have podcasts...

...though they're asking you to pay for access to them. Of course, listening to them live is free, and they post clips on Youtube.

[Grey Lemercier]

29. they both hate HRC

fuck 'em

25. I use dar.fm

just enter dar.fm and they will furnish 5 programs a week. That means I can listen to 15 hours a day of people like Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, Tom Hartman and two more every DAY

Its cheap $50 a year!

Only problem, you have to listen to the advertisements. I have been using it for 4 years and like it. You have your choice of many different radio stations they will record for you.

Give it a look, you down load the programs and they are on your phone until you delete them.

Edit: listen to them when ever you wish.

26. Great thread topic! Thanks to all who posted podcast suggestions! nt

[Basic LA]

27. Background Briefing with Ian Masters

It's a one hour, six days a week great podcast from Pacifica, free on iTunes, covering several topics & informed guests each day.

[LeftyMom]

28. I like Radio Dispatch. They do an hour a day M-F and bank episodes when they're out on vacation,

so the content stays fresh and it isn't plagued by long hiatuses like so many of my other favorites.

It's hosted by brother and sister who report on National Security and Privacy (with occasional trips to Gitmo) and Education Policy, respectively. They're charming and well-informed, they cite their sources, and they aren't afraid to circle back to a story after they do some reading or to have a better informed guest on when they just don't know enough to say much. They have great guests and do a live venue panel show once a month that's always a nice mix of interests and personalities without being a circle jerk or a shouting match.

Since I've given up on other political podcasts because they were frustratingly inattentive to details I really like those particular qualities.

Also it's not a constant begathon and the hosts are holding down jobs aside from their podcast. Pet peeve there.

30. TUC Radio: Time of Useful Consciousness

This is an amazing collection of interviews and talks on progressive issues, I highly recommend it.

http://www.tucradio.org/
podcast url: http://podcast.tucradio.org/feed/
many old shows can be downloaded free: http://www.tucradio.org/catalog.html

"When looking for a name, I came across a pilot's handbook and found the acronym TUC, an aeronautical term.
"Time of Useful Consciousness" is the time between the onset of oxygen deficiency and the loss of consciousness.
These are the brief moments in which a pilot may save the plane."
- Maria Gilardin

TUC Radio is a regular weekly program on over 60 radio stations and can be heard in many rural communities as well as in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle, Cleveland, Houston, Taos, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Vancouver and many other cities - as far as Cape Town, South Africa and into North Africa via Milano, Italy.

TUC Radio does not accept funding from government agencies or corporations. There is no financial backing from any radio station or even a non-profit. TUC Radio is free to air what I believe you find important. PLEASE support TUC Radio with your donation. Thank you!

as the walks go faster with my mind occupied.

33. The People's Pharmacy

This isn't a political podcast, but it's interesting to listen to.

http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/

They keep the last 4 weeks for download free.

34. Try "Car Talk" on the NPR podcast. Its re-run and the cars they talk about are old

but they are very funny and witty.
