I listen to so many news podcasts daily, but Sources & Methods is nearly always far and away the most insightful on looking at global news on a deeper level. This is my go to.
A great podcast that gives you information you don't hear anywhere else.
Mary Louise Kelly leads superior discussions with other reporters & explains topics beyond the standard reporting. With a small reference from Spinal Tap, Mary Louise Kelly always takes it to 11.
I regularly listen to politics and foreign policy pods, and the way that Mary Louise Kelly leverages her long standing relationships within the emissary community gives a rare insider viewpoint. Have loved each new episode!
It is now part of my list of trusted sources. Thank you NPR.
