It’s hard to find news without spin these days, especially at the local level. There’s a dearth of real news and meaningful analysis. Sunil Dasgupta fills the gap. He questions, analyzes, and summarizes without spin, and he covers stuff no one else does. Hugely recommended especially if you’re in Montgomery County, DelMarVa or even the great state of Maryland.

While focused on all things Maryland politics, this podcast also does a good job of overall civic lessons during the recap of the conversation. Professor Dasgupta definitely has honed the skill of the Socratic method. Note to guests: prepare well for this interview.
