They’re all international broadcasters. Just the media has changed.

I've always wondered why this stuff gets posted it, it often has nothing to do
with shortwave in a club/group/email that is entirely shortwave

Most radio listening takes place in the car or while doing other things that
allow freedom for the ear, but not the eyes and hands. Podcasts permit a shift
of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion.
I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning in what sometimes seems like
a vain attempt to diminish the results of sitting behind a desk for 35 years.
The act of putting one foot in front of the other can be pretty monotonous and
by “podding along” while plodding along the mind also gets something useful to
do. So it is with the time spent commuting to work day after day.
Podcasting has expanded almost exponentially so very quickly that it can justly
be considered a medium all its own. Therefore, the attempt here has to be to
highlight only a small portion of it, just one corner where excellence reigns.
Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia,
Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. Apart from the originating program’s
web site, most programs are made available through any number of other
amalgamation sources such as iTunes and TuneIn.
Admittedly, these are thoroughly subjective recommendations, but my interests
and tolerance for incompatible views are pretty wide-ranging. Here’s another in
a continuing series of small samplings, offered in a 90 minute scope (more or
less):

“The New Wave of Political Magazines"
THE MEDIA SHOW - BBC Radio 4
Magazine sales are up for some titles, with a resurgence of those that deal
with news and current affairs. What's their secret? Also in the programme, why
campaigners say CGTN, the English language news channel from China, should lose
its Ofcom licence to broadcast in the UK. Amol Rajan is joined by Jason
Cowley, editor The New Statesman, Rosie Blau, editor 1843, Christopher
Montgomery, co-editor The Critic, and Peter Dahlin, director of Safeguard
Defenders. (29”)

“'Why did the USA fail in its initial coronavirus response?"
THE INQUIRY - BBC World Service
‘It’s a failing, let's admit it’ says top health official, Dr Anthony Fauci.
He’s talking about the fact that it took a month for a working coronavirus test
to be rolled out around the country, while other countries were testing
thousands of people. How was this allowed to happen? In this edition of The
Inquiry, we explore the ways in which the US lost valuable time in dealing with
the coronavirus and how their health system could make things more difficult
still. (25”)

"AI and moral intuition: use it or lose it?”
THE PHILOSOPHER’S ZONE - ABC RN
Artificial intelligence is helping us to make all sorts of decisions these days
- sometimes this can be fun, convenient and a real time saver. But what about
moral decisions, or decisions with moral consequences - in law enforcement,
say, or judicial proceedings, or public surveillance? The potential
consequences for human rights are troubling. And if we outsource our moral
intuition to AI, do we risk becoming morally de-skilled? (29”)
