I always find it really interesting listening back to some of these shows from big moments in history, the reaction, the plans, ideas, etc.

Some of the episodes of Between the Sheets from June/July 2001 are really good for this as well. I cannot recommend that one with Leonard F. Chikarason as a guest highly enough. Here is a link:

I usually go back to listen to the Punk Podcast a lot when I got nothing else to hear. What i've found is that sometimes the most informative are the ones a few days after the events take place

Yes, but the hindsight is both interesting and has the added advantage of clarifications that have emerged with time.

oh yeah, neither is better. I like hearing the reaction, but I also like hearing how it develops
