Getting the News on Podcast shows

I have been considering my news-oriented podcasts and trying to find a show that can fulfill my news appetite without being overly long or boring.

I tried the british Telegraph podcast which is a 25 minute show with all the most recent newsitems along with fairly detailed commentary. Or in their own words: "It allows you to sample the Daily Telegraph's incisive political, business, social and sporting writing - in many cases read by the columnists themselves."
25 minutes was a little bit too long for me to endure before breakfast but it was fairly ideal for the drive to work. Oh, and look out for those unexpected moments of pure british humour that crop up.

Another news show is the New York Times Front Page. It is a very short show (2 minutes) doing exactly what it says on the label. James Barron, a reporter at the Times, simply reads the front page headlines and summarizes the content. I suppose that it is quite good for what it is, a short summary. Would be good to have in the background while you brush your teeth.
