My picks are:

538 has the smartest that is not too partisan or emotionally manipulative.

Glenn Thrush's politico podcast was quite good but he doesn't host it anymore.

Foreign Policy has good ones.

Fareed Zakaria has the best of the Sunday Shows.

Vox Weeds

Worst are: slate gabfest, NPR politics

You can go crazy listening to politics too much these days, especially when it's a bunch of people talking for the sake of filling time.

Politics is more a sport than a discipline. Like most sports, learning to speak eloquently about it is totally meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, a lot is filling time, a lot is duplicative, and a lot just covers the same D.C. beat.
