This one for sure. The hosts rarely make mistakes (at least when they cover tech topics) and when they're corrected (during recording or after it's released) they strictly start the next episode with a detailed correction.
They have good chemistry and are well spoken, and unlike most podcasts, they don't ruin the show by bringing on mediocre guests.
When they make an exception, it's always an exceptional guest. In several hundred episodes they have had three guests if you don't count a couple brief entertaining side cameos that were somewhat off topic.
They limit the show to interesting (or entertaining) content. Boring news stories are skipped (get your news elsewhere) and if it's a slow news week they have a list of timeless subjects ready and waiting to have an episode recorded. If a topic needs five seconds, they give it five seconds. If it needs five hours, they'll cover it over several episodes.
Finally, one of the hosts is both an audiophile and the developer of a major podcasting client and various podcast editing tools. The audio quality is absolutely perfect, and the editing is even better. Even the ads are well done (and there aren't many, and you can subscribe to remove them).
OK as I understand, this is one if the most popular ones. When I tried listening to it, though, I had the impression it was very focused on Apple and on programming - not so much on news, which is what I was after. Did I get it right or should I try again?
