Your favorite Political commentators/hosts (talking heads)

I don't know that I have a favorite, but Joe Rogan is one I try to listen to.
I enjoy Dan Carlin's Common Sense podcast when he actually gets episodes up.
I like most of the people that are on Left, Right & Center, even the ones I don't agree with.

I used to listen to a libertarian named Jon Caldara on the radio here in CO years ago when I was in high school, and then when I was home on break from OSU.
His show didn't start until around 10pm, I think, but I used to listen to it while I was gaming online. Listening to his show slowly made me realize that my overall political views were more libertarian than conservative.
Some of the things I liked about his show were that he was always very well-prepared, and he never came across as a blow-hard or schill for anyone. He also talked about local political races (e.g. U.S. House races in Colorado) and issues (e.g. state ballot initiatives) moreso than most talk show hosts, which was nice. Sometimes, however, the discussion about local politics got a little too local - who wants to hear a discussion about the race for county DA?
When discussing politicians currently in office at the time, the discussion generally centered on criticism of Democrats rather than support of Republicans, although he certainly never hesitated to criticize Republicans too. I would say that, generally, he expressed mild support for fiscally conservative Republicans.
I'm not sure if he's still on air, although I know he still runs a libertarian think tank here called the Independence Institute that's mostly active in state and local issues.
