Are there any good, apolitical right-leaning podcasts out there?

Initial disclaimer: I'm very much a progressive person.

Recently listening to podcasts like Heavyweight, Reply All, Invisibilia, Underunderstood etc, I noticed that while the episode - or podcast overall - is investigative journalism lite, something incidental but progressive might happen (using the correct pronouns for a trans person, for example.) I also recently rewatched the Some More News episode on why conservative comedy is so awful, which sparked my pondering.

So... while I'm not interested in veering to the right, this did get me wondering what content might be out there that I've not been exposed to at all. Are there (relatively) apolitical podcasts out there that mirror those lite journalism examples above?

Look at the implications of what yourself is saying and then you'll notice that your two comments promote right-wing discourses, through your irrationality. What you're saying effectively is the same as saying one of those two things:

  • Right wing discourses are highly convincing for rational people, unlike left wing ones. OR
  • People are a bunch of irrationals who can't "sieve" discourses based on rationality.

This shit is not a taboo dammit. You can - and should - sieve through the statements of any political discourse, between what's true vs. false or moral vs. immoral. And when you do this with most right-wing discourses, you find so much babble that it's easy to discard; or at least irreconcilable moral premises. It's safer than you're pretending that it is.

(NB: this is coming from a heavy smoker and a communist.)
