10 Best Connecticut Public Radio Podcasts

1. The Colin McEnroe Show

Play Watch Video
Website Apple Spotify YouTube
The Colin McEnroe Show is public radio's most eclectic, eccentric weekday program. The best way to understand us is through the subjects we tackle: Neanderthals, tambourines, handshakes, the Iliad, snacks, ringtones, punk rock, Occam's razor, Rasputin, houseflies, zippers. Are you sensing a pattern? If so, you should probably be in treatment. On Fridays, we try to stop thinking about what kind of ringtones Neanderthals would want to have and convene a panel called The Nose for an informal roundtable about the week in culture.MORE Host Colin McEnroe
