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”.

I hope you might find these suggestions — in roughly 90 minute bites -- helpful in enhancing your own enjoyment of radio, our favorite medium. __ __ “A Reality Check on Reality TV” IDEAS - CBC Radio One Twenty-five years ago, reality TV exploded in popularity, and the media panicked.
