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 other day (when it’s not cold and 
wet or I haven’t succumbed to laziness).  The “art” 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. 

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:

——

“It’s a Conspiracy”
ALL IN THE MIND - ABC Radio National
9/11 was an inside job, Princess Diana was murdered in a government plot, and 
the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked. There’s a conspiracy theory for just 
about every major event—but believers aren’t just on the paranoid fringe, 
wearing tin foil hats. We’re all susceptible—and sometimes conspiracies are 
real. We examine the psychology of conspiracy theories.  (30”)

“Religion and Numbers”
BEYOND BELIEF - BBC Radio 4
Maths and religion are both ways of seeking order and understanding in the 
world. Numerologists who like to find significance in every number believe that 
2016 was always going to be a bad year because of that combination of numbers - 
2 0 1 6. Mainstream religious traditions have often set great store by numbers. 
Certain ones recur repeatedly in their scriptures, 3, 7, 40. What's that all 
about?  Ernie Rea discusses religion's obsession with numbers with Marcus du 
Sautoy, Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and Professor of 
Mathematics at the University of Oxford: Alex Bellos, science writer and 
journalist and author of the book, "Can you solve my problems?" and Rabbi 
Debbie Young-Somers a Community Educator at the Movement for Reform Judaism.
