Hour long interviews with NZ's last 5 PM's excluding Key.
Quite interesting considering two became PM's by leading coups agaimst their predecessors
Overwhelming impression is how we have been pretty well served on the leadership front compared to most countries
Also should be compulsory listening for anyone anti MMP
I listened to Clarks and Shipleys podcasts and they were very good I thought. Both of them very reluctant to admit to mistakes they made which I guess is human nature but for a pm it's a bit weird when history shows you got it wrong. Haven't got all the way through the Mike Moore one and not heard any of Bolgers which was probably the most widely reported on of all of the interviews.
Agree we have been lucky though , compare what we've had with the people the Aussies have had for example.
Not interested in Palmer at all, won't bother listening to his.
He's surprisingly good, particularly as the interview basically uses him as a proxy for David Lange, so a lot of it is about his time as deputy PM to Lange rather than PM.

Interesting, he seems to me to be a massive tool which I find hard to get past. What I've heard of Mike Moores is actually quite sad, politics is obviously brutal but you get the feeling he's still hurting over what happened.

Not a podcast, but a BBC series that you can download the audio for:
Decoding the News. Aditya Chakrabortty investigates words that made the modern world.

A new podcast (only 3 episodes in) by 3 Australians - The Tidy Towns Finalists
"Each week, the Tidy Towns Finalists, Damian Callinan, Andrew McClelland and Angela Thompson answer the big questions. Which now defunct Australian TV show should be back on air? What's the weirdest mixed business? Which is the best of Australia's Big Things? Join these cultural custodians as they chat all things Australiana."
The first episode takes about 30 minutes to really get going, but is pretty funny once they start talking about Bothwell Country Woman's Association cookbook and sausage smell machines
Imagine what a podcast would be like if Hamish and Andy never got radio jobs

Tried 'My dad wrote a porno' as it is supposedly very funny and has even spawned a live stage show.
Reviews should have said 'mildly funny for five minutes'.
Stay well clear if you have an aversion to radio breakfast show types where 3 people talk over each other and laugh at their own jokes.The source material is ripe for picking, it must be said. But having someone simply read the book deadpan would have been much better than the sideline commentaries.

Destroyer of worlds by Dan Carlin was great really enjoyed it , halfway through the Celtic holocaust which so far is equally good.
I paid a couple of bucks to listen to Ghost of the ostfront , I would have happily paid more.I just bought some earmuffs I can hook up to my phone so last week Beth Shapiro explained why you can't clone a mammoth and why trying to exterminate the coyote has actually made them spread from 14 states to 49
