Well, I'm starting to wonder if it's time to change up my podcast list.  My favorites are still my favorites, but some of the others are just seeming kind of silly, and I find myself skipping them nearly every time the appear in my playlist.  Take the White House press briefing, for example.  When Bush 41 was pres, he was taking crap from every direction, and agree with him or not, I often cheered silently in my head every time Tony Snow (RIP) shut them down.  Of course, they were legitimate questions and criticisms, if not always logical or well researched.  Dana Perino also showed a strong job when she took over the reigns, though she wasn't as witty as Snow.  Listening to the briefing now, I wonder if the reporters were all handed their questions by someone in the White House, because there isn't any real pressure from the press about progress in Afghanistan, why the president claims he did what he said he was going to do in Iraq even though there are 50000 American troops STILL THERE plus who-knows-how-many contractors.  Never mind that the healthcare reform is great when he couches it in his terms, but still has no price controls or mechanisms to prevent costs from ballooning. Apparently it's ok to chastise wall street firms for being greedy, and loudly proclaim that we need to regulate them, but since health care companies are letting him push his papers through congress, they can charge whatever they want.  Or what about Git'mo?  Still open.  Instead we get to listen to questions about whether or not Obama intends to campaign for so and so.
Or another podcast, Stuff Mom Never Told You.  Yeah, yeah, whatever.  A lot of the topics were fairly interesting, but I recently skipped right past one about adult acne and adult acne treatments.  All of the howstuffworks podcasts have been quality, in my opinion, but some of them just bore me now.  I still like Josh and Chuck at Stuff You Should Know, if you know who they are.  Gimme your top podcasts and what you like about them, and maybe I can add them to my list.
