<title>Best of the Left Podcast (mp3)</title>
<link>http://bestoftheleftpodcast.com</link>
<description>This biweekly podcast is a beautifully executed compilation combining the absolute best in left-leaning political news, commentary and occasional comedy with great music to pull it all together. Each edition we choose a political theme and deliver a variety of stories and perspectives from an array of sources on that theme. 

Sources for this compilation show include Countdown with Keith Olberman and The Rachel Maddow Show from MSNBC. NPR shows such as On the Media, Radio Lab, This American Life, Wait wait don't tell me!, Fresh Air, and All things considered. Air America Radio shows such as Break Room Live, Ring of Fire with Bobby Kennedy and The Inside Story with Ana Marie Cox. I also include The Young Turks, Thom Hartmann, Democracy NOW!, Counterspin from FAIR.org, Mother Jones Radio, Slate magazine, Randi Rhodes, Radio Ecoshock, Le Show, Real Time with Bill Maher, and Green.tv.

If you like any of the above programs it's almost certain that you will love Best of the Left! Even if you already listen to all of the sources above you'll still like BotL because it is a show that is truly greater than the sum of it's parts.

By the way, this is an ENHANCED PODCAST with cool features built in which is fun but that means that it's not compatible with everyone's audio player. For the STANDARD MP3 feed visit BestOfTheLeft.com to subscribe (even if you still want to use iTunes to manage your subscription).</description>
