Those looking for in-depth coverage of the major events going on in the world will be happy with this podcast. Warren Olney discusses several issues per show, bringing on guests that are experts in their fields and know what they are talking about. The shows are smart, informative, and most important of all, do not shy away from controversy.
You get to hear both sides of the argument since they bring on guests from all sides of the political spectrum. I like how Mr. Olney never takes sides; he simply asks questions and let the guests answer. Sound quality is great. Overall, listening to one episode of this podcast is more enlightening and informative than watching basic TV news for days.

As he takes Facebook public, Mark Zuckerberg has lofty goals: nothing less than transforming "many parts of society." Will investors agree that the riskiest thing is...

Another state has adopted "right to work" laws. We hear how Indiana's Republican governor changed his mind and what the nationwide political consequence might be.

Romney's Florida win earned him Secret Service protection, but his rivals aren't conceding yet. As the campaign gets nastier, we look at the prospects for a divided GOP.

With the President architect of US foreign policy, how does "European-style socialism" go down in France and Germany? How do GOP hopefuls sound in China, Israel and Iran?

One reason Mitt Romney lost the Florida primary to John McCain in 2008 was the votes of Republican Hispanics. President Obama then swept all Hispanics by 58 percent...

Romney's showing in last night's debate could be crucial for the GOP presidential nomination. But a $10 million contribution from the Gingrich SuperPAC could make a difference.

America's so-called "progressive" tax rates used to rise with income. Mitt Romney's returns demonstrate it's the other way around...

President Obama?s on the road today, with the messages of last night's State of the Union. We get partisan reactions and hear from Americans in different parts of the US.

An update on Florida primary campaign, Obama preps for the final State of the Union address of his current term, and the changing demographics in America's workforce.
