I follow Reason magazine, but I realize they cover mostly libertarian issues. Based-Politics.com is usually trustworthy also with a libertarian-ish take on current issues.

A number of podcasts help distill some of the latest freakouts:

- Blocked & Reported: Katie Herzog & Jesse Singal

- Ambitious Crossover Attempt: Noam Blum & Jen Monroe

- The Political Orphanage: Andrew Heaton

- Cato Daily Podcast: Caleb Brown
