Dan Carlin "Common Sense" Podcast

[Nikolokolus]

Very interesting discussion on Syria, War Powers Act, Congress, etc.

Fear not, this is very much a non-partisan voice. Hardcore Democrats and Republicans will feel equally insulted.

Loved it!, I even recommended it to my father. I usually love his hardcore history podcasts, but his common sense ones have really been interesting lately.

In what way?

Most of the way through; fascinating stuff! I'll definitely subscribe (of course, Dan could read the iTunes EULA and make it compelling).

I'm already a huge Hardcore History fan (have been for years)... I'd been shy about Common Sense because (a) I'm not a political junkie, and (b) any show called Common Sense has a good chance of being yelly-screamy-stupid.

 

[Further]

There have also been a couple of recent Joe Rogan podcasts where he interviews Dan Carlin and those are entertaining too, if you are looking to fill a couple more hours with voices, look them up.

Yup. His hardcore history podcast was the reason I stumbled into his current affairs offfering. It's worth going into his past episodes and listening; his perspectives on the emerging "surveillance state" from 2 or 3 years ago are particularly prescient.
