Pods Review Pods is a weekly segment where podcasters review fellow podcasts.

My boyfriend Brenden Weber and I created “Altered Outlook” to provide meaningful commentary on political and cultural issues across the world. We both have political backgrounds in school and work and actually met while interning in Washington D.C. Give the podcast a listen, and let us know what you think. Hope you enjoy!

Planet Money

It is an extremely entertaining yet educational podcast hosted on NPR. Although it is an economics podcast, it is broken down into fun real-world stories that are meant for people of all education levels. There are multiple hosts who take turns with the podcast, but they are all easy going and nice to listen to. When they tell stories, they fly across the country to conduct live interviews and investigations which makes it feel like you are there with them as part of the story. This podcast is great if you want to know more about how the world works from a fun storytelling economic perspective. This is a show for young adults and up.

Cato Daily Podcast

This podcast is great for learning about policy issues across the United States. They regularly interview policy experts who bring great insight on different problems and how to deal with them from a policy standpoint. It is a pretty conversational podcast rather than a lecture type of show which is great for keeping an engaged audience. They know how to relate political issues to everyday lives, and frequently include stories of individuals across the country who have been affected by things they are discussing. Listen to this podcast for a unique look at current events and political culture.

The Joe Rogan Experience

Joe Rogan is quite a fun and knowledgeable guy to listen to. From health tips to politics and everything in between, he covers a wide range of topics with all sorts of different guest appearances.  Whatever you’re into, scroll through his episodes and you won’t have a hard time finding something of interest. He does get quite controversial at times and is certainly unafraid to talk about more obscene things such as drug use. I appreciate the honesty he brings in with his personal stories, as it makes me feel like I am listening to more of a genuine guy. I would not listen to this show if you are easily offended.
