Dianne Rehm's radio show can often be informative and makes an effort to lay out various points of view on topics -- and Rehm tends to do a better job than a lot of tv news discussion hosts/anchors at keeping guests from making outlandish claims without being questioned.

However, I personally find it kind of tough to listen to her voice (she has a dysphonia).

I like On Point with Tom Ashbrook if it happens to be on when I'm in transit. It's very entertaining and good for getting superficial overviews of single topics, but it's not really as useful for getting in-depth analyses.
