Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don't really care for either, and I'm particularly politically minded and listen to podcasts almost exclusively. They just aren't very interesting or funny, the two things I need in a podcast. What's the appeal, rage?
Rage seems to win elections.
recommendations?
I tend to keep the news and such to more straightforward broadcasts like stuff from NPR. Otherwise, I'm quite partial to Citation Needed and their other show God Awful Movies (which is atheist stuff making fun of religious and woo movies).
And if I'm in a more mindless mood, I've been listening to Comedy Bang Bang lately which has existed since the beginning of time. Improv with guests, basically, which makes it pretty hit or miss depending on how it lands.
(Also other suggestions are good too. There's so many better options than midas lol)
I like Crooked Media's Pod Save the World.
Sometimes Pod Save America, but thats probably more interesting for someone living in the US. I can't listen to it more than maybe once a month.

I’ve been finding the tone “you’re not alone” tone of anger to be… helpful.
