This American Life. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/ (accessed 8-5-09)
This American Life is my favorite program on NPR. They have free pod cast of all their broadcasts. Their show is hard to explain, but it covers a whole host of topics including current events and social issues. Plus, they just have a lot of interesting stories on any topic you could think of that is always present it in a fun and entertaining way.
Newser. http://www.newser.com/ (accessed 8-5-09)
Newser gives you a front page of news stories from a bunch of different sites. You can scroll over the picture and it will give you a brief summary of the article. If you click on it, it takes you to the website and story. I think it would be a great way to start class in a current issues course.
