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 (225 minutes this one time) --
helpful in enhancing your own enjoyment of radio, our favorite medium.

[Ed. Note: An true era is coming to an end at ABC Radio National (RN). 85
year old Phillip Adams, who has hosted the network's iconic program Late Night
Live for over 33 years, has retired. There remains on the
https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/latenightlive web site a treasure trove
of past Late Night Live programs and Phillip Adams interviews on any number of
cultural, current events, political, intellectual and literary topics of
worldwide interest. In honor of this occasion, here is a listing of the
programs aired over Phillip’s last week as host. The program continues, but —
in truth — there will never be anyone quite like Phillip Adams — author,
writer, farmer, philosopher, filmmaker — to ever host it again.]
