Podcasts
NPR Politics -- Fifteen minutes about a major political event or story of the day.
Up First -- Ten minutes each morning covering three of the top stories of the day. From NPR.
Advisory Opinions -- This is Mr. Sherwin's favorite podcast! Two very bright, engaging Harvard-trained lawyers talk about the latest from the judicial world, along with occasional detours into superhero movies, rabid foxes, and the best fast-food chicken sandwiches. At the beginning of the year, you won't understand everything, but by the time we're finished with the Supreme Court, you'll get 95% of it.
