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

  Could be right-leaning topic-wise but not getting into the politics of it. If I had a good example, I’d have replied with it. lol

  As a left-leaning analogue, NPR is pretty apolitical, but the stories they cover and the words/phrasing they choose to use are designed to appeal to those who lean left.

    Uh… NPR absolutely gets into the politics of things. Maybe not a deep dive, but 90% of what I hear that isn’t music I’d describe 100% as politics.

      Sounds like too may only be listening to news shows.

      Fresh Air, This American Life, Car Talk, Something Wild are all largely non-political, but many cover liberal topics, but not from a political standpoint.

      They also tend to cover factual stories about science and the environment, which— unfortunately for the right—tends to involve topics that the right wing have made political.

    How would one ever discover that a given podcaster is right wing if they are apolitical?

      Dog whistles? Jokes that punch down?

        Wouldn’t that count as political?

  Okay, that’s a good question. Tbh I wasn’t sure anyone would respond so I tried to keep the post succinct. I just meant that I’d been listening to podcasts about a neutral topic and then the host would say something to show their leaning. And my only exposure to the right was mostly via the alt right. So I was wondering if there was interesting content out there where the focus is mostly neutral also
