One of the best

On the Media is one of the best podcasts I've come across. It continues to hold a high production standard and covers a wide array of interesting topics. I like the varied selection of guests they interview for each shows. Many topics cover US related stories but most are very relevant and interesting to a young communication student like myself. Try for yourself, the on point and likeable hosts will disappoint nor bore you with their sublime interviews and commentaries.
