Interesting. Are these all podcasts?

I just skimmed through a couple and they seem to be part of podcasts which I don't listen to. I think all of us are generally talking about the radio programs that you would listen to, for example, in the car.

Nevertheless, there is a distinct difference between the adversarial style of questioning the NPR hosts use in these interviews versus the softballs that are tossed up to politicians and others on the left. I can't tell you how many times I have been disappointed when they announced that they are going to next be interviewing some Democratic politician only to discover that there was really no need to ask the questions since the host had all the answers. It always seems like two friends chatting about a subject on which they agree. That's what I find disappointing.
