I have loved this show for years
I try to listen to John Batchelor every night. He brings in all different voices on every topic imaginable, and he gets people from all around the world. It's not all politics, but when they he does focus on politics you get insights you won't find anywhere else. And John does an extremely admirable job not playing a partisan role, but instead providing an amicable, level playing field for his guests to present their facts, arguments, and opinions in a fair, open, but challenging environment. The politics are great, and what got me started on the show, but I also love it when they veer off course to touch on subjects like astronomy (the Behind the Black segments) and automobiles. They cover history with aplomb, and go across the spectrum on economics, archeology, biology, and almost anything else you can think of. Weekends are usually devoted to segments with authors, and are a great way to shake things up. I've found countless new authors and subjects of personal interests in those segments. And at the end of the day, I look forward to hearing him sign off with "Here's Al" to end my day. If you haven't discovered this show yet, you can rest assured that, regardless of background and political affiliation, you'll find an informative, well balanced, incredibly well put together new program when you check it out. Happy listening!Read full review »
