I've been relying on podcasts to get updated with news from all over the world for almost two years. I prefer video over audio; visual description can draw my attention better than merely an audio.
I found this non-streamed webcast to be the easiest way to catch up the news. But because it is non-streamed, i need to be patient in order to wait for the newest podcast to be uploaded by the distributors.
My ever-subscribed video news podcasts are :
1. ABC World News with Diane Sawyer
This one is the most updated podcast along with CBS Evening News With Katie Couric. For the HighDef video lover, this podcast is a great deal. But for me, its HighDef becomes its weakness because it's quite time consuming when it comes to the downloading time. Besides, i don't really need the HighDef video considering i only watch it on my iPOD.
2. CNN Video Podcasts (CNN Daily, CNN In Case You Missed It and CNN Anderson Cooper 360 Daily Podcast)
These three video podcasts from CNN are less updated than others. CNN Daily is 9-10 minutes in duration and has the same concept as the regular news. CNN In Case You Missed It is a 2-3-minute-news highlighting the round-up news. Whereas CNN Anderson Cooper 360 Daily Podcast is a 30-minute-news report with one or two most emerging news that dissected by Mr. Cooper. I'm still subscribing to CNN Daily and CNN In Case You Missed it.
3. Al-Jazeera Listening Post
I don't have much to say when it comes to Al-Jazeera. This Qatar-based television network has been my favorite ever since its first broadcast i've watched. Not only because its contextual objectivity, but also because its "quality" as in the trustworthy information broadcasted. When the US, UK or European media are trying to play twisty games in the news they're broadcasting, Al-Jazeera always stands up tall even with the most controversial issues. In the Listening Post, there is "Global Village Voices", a special session showed in this podcast to give a chance to the audience to speak out their mind over the emerging issues. Moreover, Richard Gizbert is such an eye-candy. Hahhahh...*becanda =p*

4. NBC Nightly News
Another regular content yet long duration news. I'd stopped my subscription to this podcast after only a few round :D.
5. CBS Evening News With Katie Couric
As i mentioned earlier, this podcast is very updated. As for image quality, it's not as HighDef as no.1 podcast, but the duration is longer (with just about the same contents), thus the downloading time of these two podcasts are about the same. But, hey, i love Diane Sawyer than Katie Couric [*sorry, Katie =p]. That's why i stopped subscribing to this podcast since a long time ago.
