[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 491

[John A . Figliozzi]

Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually 
any convenient occasion.  While there are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, 
of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have 
been vetted through the worthy objectives of the medium. 

Here’s what I’ve been listening to recently.  I hope you might find these 
suggestions helpful in enhancing your own enjoyment of radio, our favorite 
medium.

“Recipes for Long Life”
THE FOOD PROGRAMME - BBC Radio 4
Dan Buettner believes that "when a ritual lasts for hundreds or thousands of 
years, like prayer before a meal, it serves some purpose". Dan is the 
best-selling author of and founder of The Blue Zones; five parts of the world 
where people tend to live much longer and healthier lives, many into their 
hundreds. In this programme, Leyla Kazim finds out more about the culinary 
aspects of his research, discovering what is eaten in the Blue Zones, what 
isn't being eaten, and some of the practices that exist around meal times. 
She also meets two academics whose work focusses on how to help people living 
in the UK live longer and healthier. Liz Williams from the Healthy LifeSpan 
Institute at the University of Sheffield explains that although the current 
life expectancy for people in the UK is just over 81 years - our average 
'healthy life' expectancy is much lower, at around 63. Dr Oliver Shannon from 
The University of Newcastle explains how some of the Blue Zones observational 
findings are consistent with research they have been doing into the impact of 
the Mediterranean diet on brain health. The promise of a long healthy life is 
all well and good - but as we know the reality of diets is that they are 
impossibly hard to keep to. So could choosing to make a 'lifestyle' change be 
any easier to stick with? Leyla hears from Jean Newton who in her 70s has done 
just that.  (30”)

“Bruce Springsteen Has a Gift He Keeps on Giving”
THE NEW YORKER RADIO HOUR - WNYC Studios
After nearly half a century, the singer-songwriter has cemented his status as a 
rock-and-roll legend. But, true to form, he hasn’t rested on his laurels. At 
seventy-four, Bruce Springsteen has been cementing his status as a 
rock-and-roll legend for almost fifty years: he released his widely heralded, 
but not initially widely heard, début, “Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.” in 
1973. But, true to form, the artist who became known to his fans as the Boss 
hasn’t rested on his laurels. After weathering a spate of health troubles this 
past year, which led him to cancel much of his tour, the rock icon plans to hit 
the road again in the new year, all over the U.S., Canada, and Europe. When 
Springsteen published his autobiography, “Born to Run,” back in 2016, David 
Remnick called it “as vivid as his songs, with that same pedal-to-the-floor 
quality, and just as honest about the struggles in his own life.” In October of 
that year, Springsteen appeared at the New Yorker Festival for an intimate 
conversation with the editor. (The event sold out in six seconds.) This entire 
episode is dedicated to that conversation. Springsteen tells Remnick how, as a 
young musician gigging around New Jersey, he decided to up his game: “I’m going 
to have to write some songs that are fireworks. . . . I needed to do something 
that was more original.” They talked for more than an hour about Springsteen’s 
tortured relationship with his father, his triumphant audition for the 
legendary producer John Hammond, and his struggles with depression. As 
Springsteen explains it, his tremendously exuberant concert performances were a 
form of catharsis: “I had had enough of myself by that time to want to lose 
myself. So I went onstage every night to do exactly that.”  (50”)
