Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion.
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. 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. __ __ “Stanley Tucci” DESERT ISLAND DISCS - BBC Radio 4 Stanley Tucci is an actor, director and writer who is known for his roles in a broad range of feature films including the Devil Wears Prada, Julie and Julia and the Hunger Games.

Compiled in the late 16th century, it was once used by the Catholic Church to identify "idolatries." But today, the manuscript is an important tool for recovering and reconstructing metaphysical concepts the Catholic Church tried to eradicate. Jorge Sanchez-Perez, assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Alberta, speaks with Nahlah Ayed about what the manuscript reveals about Andean metaphysics, including ideas about animal-human relations and the nature of time.
