My partner asked me if I had any podcast recos specific for news since she isn't on Twitter or anything really. She enjoys Rev Left every now and then, but she's looking for something more timely/news-focused and like an ongoing run-through of current events from a (hopefully) Marxist perspective, or however close that can reasonably be.
I'm putting together a list and have Democracy Now and Citations Needed (although CN is lengthier and less "hard-hitting news" type podcast than what she's looking for). But I'm kind of stuck. The Socialist Program with Brian Becker is kind of like too aggressive and focused on imperialism, I don't know anything about Coffee with Comrades, Deconstructed seems lib?, also don't know anything about the Jacobin podcasts like The Dig. Is Behind the News any good?
I feel like Democracy Now is the type of comprehensive news delivery that she's looking for the most, but I know that show can be anti-communist too. Idk, what does everyone think?
*Edit -- Hell yeah thank you all so much! I’m going with Morning Means TV, Give the People What They Want, The Punch Out, Citations Needed, and Democracy Now for a solid wrap of news podcasts
People's dispatch
In a related vein, does Breakthrough News have something they put out in podcast form regularly?
IMixWhatILike seems to be a podcast form of the BlackPowerMedia daily show, as far as I can tell. I usually watch a bit of the show on YouTube, I haven’t tried the podcast so I’m not sure

Big venn diagram with Counterpunch, Counterspin, and Punchout. Might have to create Counterspinpunch as the only fully synthesized lefty news source
