Open Source with Christopher Lydon - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Excellent interviewing that brings out the deep knowledge & experience of his guests. Always get the feeling that he absolutely respects and likes his guests. Very much appreciate his emotional input to the interview.

Unlike many podcasts, there is no set subject here, nor does it play to whatever current hot topic is dominating the mediascape. Just every week, for one hour, you’ll get a really good discussion that will take you in unexpected directions. As good on art, music, and philosophy as it is on politics, history, & technology. Open Source always offers voices and perspectives that you won’t hear elsewhere.
PS— put Blyth on every six months! He is the one voice I hear on NPR saying a lot of things that reflect the views of independents.

Christopher Lyndon’ treatment of the Van Morrison album Astral Weeks was phenomenal. I didn’t know the album before then and now it is a constant companion. This pod, and that album are gifts to all of us.

There is no podcast that I enjoy more. There is also not a better podcast available that is so rich with a superbly diverse array of topics and themes. If there is any podcast that makes the world better and more informed, it’s definitely this one.
