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: —— “Meet the Pornographers: Ethics, Virtual Reality and Cams” DOWNLOAD THIS SHOW - ABC Radio National Online Porn producer & director Michelle Flynn and Adult Performer Lucie Bee talk about the push to make ethical adult entertainment and how technology has been changed by erotic content and how porn is changing with new digital innovations like VR and more.

Somehow he then ended up running the Sydney community radio station FBi 94.5. His next move was even more unexpected. He spearheaded Australia’s only national, digital, free-to-air kids radio station. The station now boasts the talents of The Chaser’s Chris Taylor and HG Nelson. But it’s more than a radio station. Kinderling is also an app, it’s a parenting network, its a resource of on-demand content for parents. Kinderling is one of the finest examples of a broadcaster making the best of both linear and on-demand content.
