Behind the News with Doug Henwoo‪d‬ Doug Henwood

Henwood, unlike much of left media and podcasting, is a skilled interviewer and radio host. His brilliant questions elicit informative responses from a range of interesting subjects, and especially academics, who are often hard to interview. I always learn something new from these punchy 30 min interviews and there’s a great variety on Henwood’s show. Plus his music choices are superb too.

New guy here I like your tone and knowledge of the subject

An OG left-wing podcaster who has clearly set the tone for a lot of other podcasts and continues to be ahead of the curve. People he interviews end up on other shows years later. A rare host who does lots of background work and makes sophisticated points, but steps on his interviewees a lot less than others. Great music too.
