    the-more-interesting in a presidential election season. “Voted ‘Favorite Political Podcast’ by iTunes Listeners.

  3. Slate’s Trumpcast – the new “essential listening” podcast that I wish didn’t need to exist. “A quasi-daily podcast from Slate that sets out to understand the real Donald Trump. Jacob Weisberg, chairman and editor-in-chief of Slate, talks to historians, psychiatrists, and other experts to help explain who this man is, and why this is happening, right now, in the United States of America.”
