The Greater Eurasia Podcast is pretty good for having lots of expert guests on to talk about it and geopolitics at large, but you do still need to remain a bit critical; Glenn Diesen has lots of different types of guests on and some of them have more to learn from than others lol. Imperfect but I still tune in regularly.

I usually check Alexander Mercouris. He's pretty pro-russian but so is reality. He tries to be evidence based in his assessment. He is british and a liberal but still manages to be a half decent human and not half bad at reporting. But I always listen at 2x speed because he talks so bloody slow.

I go with most of my news needs to aljazeera. When it's playing on the TV in the background occasionally they usually have quite decent coverage on this.
