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:

-----

“Fish Oil, Blood Pressure, Oncology, Diabetes”
HEALTH REPORT - ABC Radio National 
What's really in those fish oil capsules? Could lower dose medication be the 
key to more effective blood pressure management?  There's no cause for 
complacency in the standards of care that people with cancer receive.  Could 
behavioral innovation be the key to improving the lives of people with type 2 
diabetes? (29”)

“Ayn Rand”
THE HISTORY HOUR - BBC World Service
An influential "objectivist" philosopher, a political assassination in 
Colombia, the deportation of Estonians to Siberia, the killing of King Faisal 
and the courageous submariners of World War 1.  (50”)
