As a nonparallel podcast listener , I can confirm what you all already have sex : Everyone has a podcast now . As we get a line this year , that “ everyone”includes the CIA , which hopes its show , The Langley Files , will make you blank out some of the very forged thing it ’s done . ( The title makes it vocalise a lot more interesting than it is . ) However , it seems the CIA is n’t the only U.S. government agency look to vibe with nerveless kids via pods .
I was alerted to the existence of additional podcasts pay for by American taxpayer one dollar bill when I encounter an clean-handed email from the Food and Drug Administration in October . “ Listen to the TechTalk Podcast on Data Exchange , ” the email told me . My response : the what ?
First off , that is not a good call to natural process . Just see “ information commutation ” was enough to make my eyes begin to flag . But expect , there ’s more ! It turns out it was n’t even called the TechTalk Podcast on Data Exchange , but rather theNew Era of Smarter Food Safety TechTalk Podcast . Oof . I experience like I demand java now .

The CIA and the FDA are not alone . I establish more than half a 12 podcast project helmed by the U.S. authorities . Some are publish every quarter , some are published weekly , and some are published every couplet of days . As is to be have a bun in the oven , some office started their podcast and then threw their handwriting up in the aura and abandoned it . It ’s also a possibility , I imagine , that they just got buried in too much bureaucratic work to continue .
Overall , the affair that stuck out to me the most about these taxpayer - fund podcasts is the topics they rivet on . The government likes to talk about some really geeky government thing . From weekly morbidness reports and social security issue to SAM.gov and the U.S. Digital Corps , there ’s a podcast instalment to tell you all about it .
