Podcasts are a great development in the history of radio because they permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning when weather and my own psyche permit. Indeed, were it not for podcasts I doubt I would have found any other inspiration for putting in these miles as long as I have.
Hence…Podding Along! Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. While there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the medium. Furthermore, I personally curate this continuing series of small samplings that are listed in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these recommendations somewhat subjective. But, as you will see, my interests are many and my tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging. I hope you will find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your enjoyment of radio. __ __ “The Ideological City” THE URBANIST - Monocle 24 We investigate the impact that past and present political ideologies have on the way our urban areas look and function.
