Why people recommend it

I’d also like to recommend Checks and Balance, a podcast by some of The Economist’s US reporters.

More from the comments

The Economist has a good spread, I mostly stick with Babbage and "Checks and Balance".

They also have excellent podcasts: the daily Intelligence and, for those interested in US politics, the weekly "Checks and Balance".

It's a great podcast, strongly recommended.
