Podcasts are a great development in the history of radio because they permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning when weather and my own psyche permit. Indeed, were it not for podcasts I doubt I would have found any other inspiration for putting in these miles as long as I have.
Hence…Podding Along! Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. 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. Furthermore, I personally curate this continuing series of small samplings that are listed in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these recommendations somewhat subjective. But, as you will see, my interests are many and my tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging. I hope you will find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your enjoyment of radio. __ __ “Folk legend Norma Waterson remembered, Maria Moles’ kulintang inspired album, and the future of classical record labels” THE MUSIC SHOW - ABC RN (Radio National) - Norma Waterson, matriarch of northern English folk music, has died at the age of 82. Way back in 1999 The Music Show had the great pleasure of having Norma and her husband Martin Carthy in the studio to play live and chat with Andrew Ford. - Clemens Trautmann has been the President of Deutsche Grammophon since 2015. He was a lawyer and the head of an online property company before taking over the helm of the oldest and most famous Classical record label in the world, in the midst of the streaming revolution and worldwide industrial disruption. So how can a business like DG survive, support artists, and stay on the technological and creative cutting edge in the face of all that? - Inspired by kulintang music of the Philippines, drummer and composer Maria Moles’ new album For Leolanda unfurls spaciously across four electroacoustic tracks. Manipulating pitch, timbre and rhythms electronically, she explores the sounds of her mother’s homeland from a bedroom studio in Melbourne’s 2020 lockdown.
