[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 519

2024-05-20 Thread John A . Figliozzi
Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually 
any convenient occasion.  I do it while taking my daily (more or less) 3 mile 
walk, while I’m “plodding along”.

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 — in roughly 90 minute bites -- helpful in enhancing your own 
enjoyment of radio, our favorite medium.
