Having recently discovered podcasts as a great way to learn about things while commuting to work, I naturally went in search of podcasts relating to politics.
I came across a real gem I wish to share. It is podcasts of an intro to American Politics course taught at UCLA during the fall of 2005 by Professor John R Zaller.
I only know Zaller from listening to this course, but I found him a great lecturer, and even as podcasts the lessons come through (Also the recordings are generally quite clear - though student questions don't come through, I almost always found Zaller easy to follow. Even when he's using visual aids, his descriptions are adequate to keep up without the original handouts the students were given.
